Good day.
I am sorry for contacting you through this medium
without a Previous notice,I had to use E-mail because it is an easier
and more confidential way of making contact with people around the world.
My name is Mr WILLIAMS DOUGLAS,a sixty two (63) yearS
old Attorney in practice here in NIGERIA.I had a client by name
Mr.JOHN SMITH who is a national of your country,he was a realtor and contractor based here in NIGERIA now deceased.
My client lost his life alongside his wife and only child on the 27th
of January 2002 in bomb blast, Details of this incidence can be
checked on the following
website; http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/2718295.stm
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/2698081.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 ccount
with UNION BANK OF NIGERIA PLC which he submitted to the Federal
Government OF NIGERIA before 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 UNION BANK OF NIGERIA PLC where the money is currently deposited that I should provide and forward the articulars of Mr.JOHNS 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.JOHN,I want you to know that My late Client died interstate,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 as his next of kin 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 $8,750,000.00 Million can be
paid to you for subsequent disbursement between you and I. If you can
cooperate with me and receive this funds as next of kin to late Mr.JOHN,confirm your interest by contacting me through my confidential email above. I can assure you that the deal is 100% risk free because i am in possesion 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 LATE Mr.JOHN 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 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 any where in the world. send to me your private phone and fax
numbers for easy communication,or you can feel free and call me through
my direct cell phone number 2348056032068
