Good day,
I apologise for this unsolicited nature of my email, it was out of
desperation and eagerness that made me to contact you. Following my previous
research, I am very happy to inform you that I have a good news for you as
per regards to the current development of my deceased Client who bears the
same last name with you and he is from your country,who was my trusted,
wealthy client who died in the January 27th Bomb blast here in my country.
In respect to introduction my name is Barrister Philip williams a legal
attorney with great vision as I am the private and most trusted attorney to
my late client. However my Client was a very wealthy business tycoon
formerly working with the Nigeria airways for over 20 years till this date
before his sudden death in the January 27th 2002 Bomb blast that rocked his
residence in Steven Toba street, G.R.A Ikeja, here in my country, in view of
this please kindly view the BBC web page below to know the reality of this
urgent matter that I have contacted you for.On Sunday, 27th of January 2002,
my client were involved in a terrible bomb blast that took lives of
innocent souls and unfortunately over 1000 people lost their lives and my
client and his family were part of the people that lost their lives. In
view of this please view the web page below:

Frankly, and authoritatively speaking I am very happy to let you understand
that my client left three million eight hundred and seventy thousand
{USD3.87M } United States of American dollars presicely here in the Oceanic
Bank of Nigeria Plc which is the main point to drive home at. I have made so
many attempts to locate any of myclient’s relative but all attempts have
proved unsuccessful that’s why I am counting on you and I need you to give
me good courage and faith that we can work as two partners in progress in
coming to the realization of this transaction for the betterment of both us
and our Families.
Since, I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 2 years
now, I seek your prompt consent to present you asthe next of kin of the
deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this
account valued at {USD3.87 M } dollars precisely can be transferred into
your account and then you and I can share the money according to any agreed
ratio because this fund is almost maturing to confiscation.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law.Please enclose your other
names and your phone numbers in your response as soon as you show keen
interest. Be rest assured that as you comply to my directives this
transaction will be executed in a legitimate arrangement that will prevent
you from any breach of the law in your country as it would be backed with
official documentation endorsed by the supreme court of Nigeria to legalize
the claims of this transaction.
Finally, all I need from you is your honest co-operation as this transaction
is not related to Imagination or otherwise but pure and for real. I crave
your indulgence to present you as the surviving next of kin to the deceased
so that we can reap from the fruit of this old man's labour before some
group of bad and corrupt leaders in my country get rid of this money and
share it for their own selfish interest instead of both of us sharing it for
the betterment of ourselves and our families. I am awaiting your Prompt
response with some good news!!! Thanks and God bless you,
Truly yours
Barrister Philip Williams
