Mr. ABDUL SAAZ a well known Philanthropist,before he died, he made a Will in our law firm stating that $4.7M ( four million seven hundred thousand U.S. dollars only) should be donated to any Philanthropist of our choice overseas.
We have made a random draw and 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 us to produce the beneficiary of this Will within two weeks which happens to be you 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 our late client. You are required to contact me immediately to start the process of transferring this money to any of your designated official account. I urge you to contact me immediately for further details bearing in mind that the Bank has given us a date limit.
