- ALEX DADA BARRISTER & COALEX DADA LAW CHAMBERS23 AJAO ROAD IKEJA.LAGOS, NIGERIA 23401. Dear Friend,I will first proceed by saying greetings to you and your lovely family on this great day that you’ll get to know me as a person, Do permit me to use this medium in congratulating you first hand as your e-mail address came up in a random selection conducted by our Law Firm, ‘Alex Dada Chambers’ in Lagos, Nigeria.My name is BARRISTER ALEX DADA (San.), A personal Attorney and close friend to one Late Mr. James Harrison who worked with an oil firm here in Nigeria until he met his untimely death with members of his family in a ghastly motor accident.Mr. James Harrison was a well-known Philanthropist, before he died made a Will in our law Firm stating that $5.5M (Five Million, Five Hundred United States Dollars Only) should be given to any Philanthropist of our choice overseas for the sole purpose of donating to orphanages and Less privileged around the world which will be still continuing in the good work that he has always loved.Since we did not know who exactly to pick as the beneficiary to the said will and how to go about it, knowing that this is the last legacy that he has to his name, we immediately proceeded and made a random selection which had your e-mail address picked as the beneficiary to this Will. I am particularly interested in securing this money from the Bank where it is currently deposited, because amongst other reasons they have issued a notice instructing us to produce the beneficiary of this will within two weeks of this letter or the funds will be confiscated; which also implies that the money will be credited to the Federal or State Government treasury as per law here.It is my utmost desire to execute the Will of our late client as this is my humble duty not just as a lawyer but also as a close friend knowing also that most of his properties have been confiscated by the Government as well and I feel that upon the success of this it will server as my last respect to him and members of his family. You are now required to respond back to this message via my private email address stating your direct phone or fax number which will enable me give you a call, also expatiating on the above subject starting the process of transferring the money to any of your desired bank account.I urge you to contact me immediately for further details bearing in mind that the Bank has given us a date limit which as we speak is already counting.Please respond back with the requested details as I am trusting that you will be able to handle the work at hand as this is also a hundred percent Legal and risk free. Below is my direct contact email address as I believe that you will not experience any problem in contacting me via email:emmanuelalex@live.com.once againcongratulations,Yours Truly,Barr,Alex Dada {SAN}For: ALEX DADA BARRISTER & CO.
