GOOD DAY,
I am sorry for contacting you through this medium without a previous notice. My name is Mr. JAMES HUGH, sixty two (62) years old Attorney in practice here in NIGERIA.I had a client who is late now and also a national of your country 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 while he was traveling Details of this incidence can be checked on 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 Account which he submitted to FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA before he lost his life in the incidence.
Three Months after his sudden Death, The Government 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 where the money is currently deposited that I should provide and forward the particulars 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 NIGERIAN 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 these 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 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 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 I wait to hear from you.
BARR JAMES HUGH
