Good Day,
I am Mr. Kevin Adams, a financial consultant presently in Nigeria West Africa. I am sorry for using this medium to contact you as it is highly unsecured but I have no choice, as it is the only medium I can use in establishing contact with you because this matter needs urgent attention. I knew you through my private search for someone I can confidently trust, I have a maximum confidence that I will be able to work with you.
I would want you to assist in a business venture involving $19,600,000.00 (Nineteen Million, Six Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) but I have to be sure that you are ready to participate in this business opportunity. I am offering you thirty percent (30%) of the total funds while the remaining seventy percent (70%) will be for me and will be transferred to an account I shall provider you with in due course of the transaction.
I had a client in the year 2001, I was meant to invest the above mentioned amount of money for in real estate somewhere in Europe, as such I facilitated the deposit of the said funds in a security vaults prior to the commencement of the project. Two months before this time my client and his entire family died in an auto crash, while on holiday in S.A. This web page will educate you more about the incident.

I have just been notified by the security vault company where the funds was deposited, that the funds (consignment) will be declared unserviceable and confiscated if by early next year it is not claimed. I am using this medium to seek your permission to affix you as the next of kin to my late client because since this incident in 2001 nobody has come fourth to me to file a claim for the said funds. As such I have secured beyond reasonable doubt that my client has nobody living in the position to claim this funds.
Therefore once I have your consent, I will rectify my files and affix you as the next of kin/beneficiary in the security vaults company where the funds and deposited. Thereafter I will give you all the necessary documents that will be need to facilitate the release of the funds to you.
Please note that I have not disclosed any information about my client and where exactly the funds are deposited because of security reasons, I hope you understand that I am just trying to make sure that I have your full cooperation first. I have a reputation at stake here so I want do this as silent as possible, I will be looking forward to hearing from you so that we can go ahead with this transaction. You can reach me through my alternative email address( adams33k@yahoo.com ) or this same address.
