urgency and importance of the information.Hence, this letter to you. I

abortive.NOW THE CRUX OF THIS LETTER is that the British Government is

schedule. As his personal attorney before his sudden death, I have
been officially notified and instructed to forward particulars of my
client's next of kin so

channel this funds to the account of a clever but reliable person who upon
successful payment of the money, will earn 50% thereof, while 50% will
be for me. Your nationality does not matter as all modalities have
been perfected and put in place to pay whoever I present as the next of
kin. *
