Dear Partner,
Good day, Firstly, I apologize for sending you this sensitive information
via e-mail instead of a Certified mail/Post-mail. This is due to the urgency
and importance of the information. Hence, this letter to you. I humbly crave
your indulgence to read this e-mail with all seriousness of purpose devoid
of any doubt in your mind because this project is based on Trust,
Confidentiality and Sincerity of purpose in order to have an acceptable
meeting of the minds. I am a fifty Seven (57)year old established Lawyer.
One of my clients was late Engr. Jim Berry,(Now deceased) hereinafter shall
be referred to as "My Client". Six years ago, My Client successfully
executed a contract for the Federal Government of Nigeria worth US$14.7
million dollars. A part payment of USD7. million dollars was paid to my
client, while the balance of USD7.7 million Dollars was still unpaid before
My client died in a ghastly Car crash. However, all my efforts to locate the
possible next of kin proved abortive. Untill his sudden demise, He was not
married and was 44years old. NOW THE CRUX OF THIS E-LETTER is that The
Federal Government is fully paying all Contractors who have successfully
executed their contracts. My client is among those due to be paid in this
third quarter payment schedule. As his personal attorney before his sudden
death, I have been officially notified and instructed to forward particulars
of my client's next of kin so that he/she can be paid the outstanding USD7.7
Million dollars. I know he did not leave any valid WILL because He died
interstate. This funds will therefore be paid to whosoever I present to the
government or his bank as the possible next of kin . In a nutshell, I intend
to channel this funds to the account of a clever but reliable person who
upon successful payment of the money, will earn 50% thereof, while 50% will
be for me. Your nationality does not matter as all modalities have been
perfected and put in place to pay whoever I present as the next of kin. This
transaction will take about 8 working days only to conclude as soon as you
indicate your interest. For prompt action, contact me urgently by email
through
jeffbriggs@latinmail.com. I shall role out the modalities for the
actualisation of this project as soon as I receive your response. Please, do
accord this transaction the confidentiality it deserves.
Best Regards,
Jeff Briggs. (Principal Partner)
NB You don't have to be a blood relative of my client to claim this
inheritance. Pls reply so that I can elucidate on how to proceed next.
