Attention Sir/Madam
By the grace of God my name is Mr. Paul Ralph, I sourced your profile from a human resource profile database in the Internet. I am an accountant officer to late Mr. Morris Thompson an American who is an oil marchant Agent here in Nigeria, a well known Philanthropist before he died' he made a Will stating that $13.2M(Thirteen million,two hundred thousand U.S. dollars only) should be donated to any Philanthropist of our choice overseas.
I have made a random draw your name and e-mail address was picked as the beneficiary to this Will. I am particularly interested in securing this money from the Bank because they have issued a notice instructing me as the accountant officer to produce a beneficiary to this Will within two weeks or else the money will be credited to the Government treasury as per law here. It is my utmost desire to execute the Will of my late client Morris Thompson since he is no more alife both wife Thelma Thompson, and daughter Sheryl Thompson.
