Good Day,
I am sorry for contacting you through this medium without a previous
notice,I had to use the E-mail because it is an easier and more confidential
way of making contact with people around the world.My name is Barrister
Williams Parker,a Forty Five (45) year old Atttorney in practice here in
London-England.I had a client by name Mr. Pitt a contractor based here in
London 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
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 the Federal Government when he
lost his life in the incidence.
Three Months after his sudden Death,The Federal Government of Nigeria
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 here in U.K where the money is currently deposited
that I should provide and forward the particulars of Mr.Pitt's next of kin
so that the Funds in his Account can be remitted into his Next of Kin's
Account in accordance with British Laws.
However, as the personal attorney and close confidant of late Mr.Pitt,I
want you to know that My late Client died intestate,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$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 this funds as next of kin to Mr.Pitt,
confirm your interest by writing me through this email address,
wilparker@walla.com
I can assure you that the deal is 100% risk free because i am in possesion
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 Mr.Pitt's 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.
I wait to hear from you.
Barrister Williams Parker.
