Subject: DEAR FRIEND,
Good day ,
This letter is strictly personal, intimate and confidential.Forgive this
unusual manner of contacting you, but this particular letter is of
exceptional and very private nature. There is absolutely going to be a great
doubt and distrust in your heart in 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 Micheal Leydens an american citizen and an Attorney in practice.I
had a client by name Mr.Robert Fitzpatrick also an american citizen,a
contractor now deceased.My client lost his life alongside his wife and only
child on the 29th of October 1999 on the ill fated Egyptair flight 990
enroute to Egypt.Details of this incidence can be checked on the following
website;
<<http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm>>
Prior to the Death of my Late Client,He secured a contract of $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 successfully 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.Robert Fitzpatrick'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.Robert
Fitzpatrick,I want you to know that My late Client died intestate,i.e,He
died without leaving a Will that includes the money paid into his account by
the Federal government of Nigeria.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 cooperation to enter into a partnership with me so i
will present you as the deceased relative/next of kin and subsequently the
beneficiary of the fund so that the contents of this account valued at
US$8,750,000.00 Million can be paid into an account which will be provided
by you.If you can
cooperate with me and receive this funds as next of kin to Mr.Robert
fitzpatrick,confirm your interest by contacting me through my
e-mail:(mikeleydensesq@yahoo.com) and be aware that you
shall also have to participate in the funding of this.Inheritance claims are
expensive to finance and you will have to be involved financially.
I can assure you that the deal is 100% risk free because i am in possession
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.Robert
Fitzpatrick's Next of kin with proofs that I will present to the bank when
needed.
When I receive a positive response and after proper discussion 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,
Micheal Leydens
