Good day ,
This letter is strictly personal, intimate andconfidential. Forgive this
unusual manner of contacting you, butthis particular letter is of
exceptional and very private nature.
There is absolutely going to be a great doubt and distrust in your heartin
respect of this email, coupled with the fact that, so many miscreants have
taken possession of the Internet to facilitate their nefarious deeds,
thereby making it extremely difficult for genuine people to get attention
and recognition. There is no way for me to know whether I will be properly
understood, but it is my duty to write and reach out to you. My name is Greg
Depreye an Attorney in practice in Nigeria .I had a client by name Mr. Pitt
williams Crane a contractor now deceased.
My client lost his life alongside his wife and only child on the 27th of
January 2002 while on a visit to Nigeria.Details of this incidence can be
checked on the following
website;http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/2718295.stm

Prior to the Death of my Late Client,He secured a contract f$12,500,000.00
million from the Federal Government of Nigeria,following which he received a
30%mobilization fee of US$3,750,000.00 Million and uccessfully executed the
contract, but the balance of US$8,750,000.00 Million contract payment was in
the Process of being transferred into My Late Client's Account which he
submitted to the Federal Government when he lost his life in the incidence.
Three Months after his sudden Death,The Federal Government of Nigeria
effected the transfer of the balance of his Contract Funds into the Account
that My Late Client has on his file with the Government.As his personal
Attorney before his death,I have been officially notified and instructed by
the bank here in U.K where the money is currently deposited that I should
provide and forward the particulars of Mr.Pitt williams Crane's next of kin
so that the Funds in his Account can be remitted into his Next of Kin's
Account in accordance with British Laws.
However, as the personal attorney and close confidant of late Mr.Pitt
Cecilia Crane,I want you to know that My late Client died intestate,i.e,He
died without leaving a Will.Hence,all my efforts to locate any of his
relative whom I can present to the Bank has proved abortive.Therefore I am
seeking for your consent to present you as the deceased relative/next of kin
and subsequently the beneficiary of the fund so that the proceed of this
account valued at US$8,750,000.00 Million can be paid to you for subsequent
disbursement between you and me.
If you can cooperate with me and receive this funds as next of kin to
Mr.Pitt williams Crane,confirm your interest by contacting me through my
e-mail:(greg_depreye20@OINK.CO.UK )
I can assure you that the deal is 100% risk free because i am inpossession
of the deceased personal file which contains all information which I shall
use to prove your relationship with the deceased therefore the money will be
paid into the account of whomever I present as Mr.Pitt williams Crane's Next
of kin with proofs that I will present to the bank when needed.
When I receive a positive response and after properdiscussion with you,I
will furnish you with all relevant information that will facilitate the
release of the Funds to you.An Application will have to be filed to the Bank
for processing of the release of the Funds into your nominated Bank account.
I wait to hear from you,
Barrister GREG DEPREYE Esq.(greg_depreye20@OINK.CO.UK )
