Subject: You will be Favoured to claim this Inheritance
Dear Sir,
I am Barrister Mike Adaeze, a Lawyer in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I
am the personal Attorney to late Mr.G.Mckee who was a government agent in
transferring of money secretly for federal government officials; he was also
a merchant on petroleum products and solid minerals.
This client of mine, His wife and their only child died in an auto crash on
their way to Badagry Beach here in Nigeria on a weekend 23rd September
2001.Before his death On the 23rd September 2001, My client deposited the
sum of (USD$15 Million Cash) with a security And finance company,
hoping to transfer it to his country as soon as he is on vacation.
Since his death I have made several enquiries to locate any of my late
client's relative but this has proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I have decided to trace a trust
worthy Foreigner over the Internet who can claim this money left behind by
my client as a "next of kin" before it gets confiscated by the Security
Company where it was deposited hence I cannot claim it myself.
The Security and Finance Company where the money was deposited has issued me
a notice to provide the next of kin or have the deposit confiscated within
the next few official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating any real relative of my late
client, I beg you to claim this money since you are a foreigner . This
(15million dollars) will be handed over to you and then both of us will
share the Money.
I will get the necessary legal documents that will be used to back up your
claim as all I require is your honest cooperation morally, and financially
to enable us see that this deal went through. I guarantee that this will be
executed under a legitimate time arrangement that will protect you from
any breach of the law.
Please get in touch with me by email with your Telephone and fax numbers,
your full house address and your date of birth to enable us discuss further
or you call me on my mobile-line 234-80-38478990.Your email reply should go
to
(mike_adaeze3@yahoo.com).
I am waiting for your immediate response.
Best Regards,
Barr. Mike Adaeze (ESQ).
