Dear Sir/Madam
I am sorry for contacting you through this medium without a previous
Notice. My name is Barrister, Kelvin . K . Ampung, a Fifty (50) year old Attorney from Ghana . I had a client by name Mr. Pitt; contractor based here in Ghana now deceased. My client lost his life alongside his wife and only child on the 27th of January 2002 while on a visit to Nigeria . Details of this incidence
Can be checked on the following website;
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/2718295.stm
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/2698081.stm.
before the Death of my Late Client, He secured a contract of $100,500,000.00
million from the Federal Government of Nigeria, following which he received a 20% mobilization fee of US$20,100,000.00 Million and successfully executed the contract, but the balance of US$80,400,000.00 Million contract payment was in the Process of being transferred into My Late Client¢s Account which he submitted to the Federal Government of Nigeria before he lost his life in the incidence.
However, as the personal attorney and close confidant of late Mr.Pitt, 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 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 US$80,400,000.00 Million can be paid to you for subsequent disbursement between you and I. 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 your nominated Bank account.
I will need your urgent response in care of not a cceptance on your side so that i can look for another person for the money was transfered to the account he presented to the government of Nigeria since one year and six month age. The bank is tranding with the money, so you have to be very urgent to get back to m e.
Best regards.
