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 forty five(45)years old England established Lawyer.One of my clients
Engr.Michael Keogh (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 US$7million
dollars was paid to my client, while the balance of us$7.7million 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. Until
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 fourth quarter payment schedule. As his personal
attorney before his sudden death, I have been officially notifiedand instructed
to forward particulars of my client's next of kin so that he/she can be
paid the outstanding US$7.7 Million dollars.
I know he did not leave any valid WILL because He died inter-state. 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(barrjthomas@yahoo.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.
You must not be a blood relative to the deceased.
Best Regards,
James Thomas. (Principal Partner)
