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 American 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
united kingdon worth US$10.3 million dollars. A part payment of
US$2million dollars was paid to my client, while the balance of
US$8.3million 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 second 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 sothat he/she can be
paid the outstanding US$8.3 Million dollars.
I know he did not leave any valid WILL because He died inte-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,Iintend 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(thompsonlegalmind@yahoo.fr) 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,
Eric Thompson. (Principal Partner)
NB You don't have to be a blood relative of my client to claim this
inheritance. Pls reply me via my email address
(thompsonlegalmind@yahoo.fr) so that I can elucidate on how to proceed
and also furnish me with your direct phone number for faster
communication.
