  It's my first Nigerian Chain Letter!  Attn:  I am Barrister GIWA ADAMS ( esq)  a Solicitor and Personal lawyer to Engr.  Williams Jackson an expertriate who has a servicing firm affiliated with the National Electric Power Authority.
 He was awarded a contract worth Twenty Three Million United States Dollars ( US$ 23, 000, 000. 00)
Immediately this contract was signed, an initial amount of Nine Million, Six Hundred Thousand United States Dollars ( US$ 9. 600,
000. 00)  was paid to him as mobilization fee to kick off the contract.  He duly completed this contract pending when his remaining balance of ( US$ 13,
400, 000. 00)  will be paid to him.  On the 21st April 2002,  my client,
his wife and their three children were involved In a ghastly motor accident along Badagry Express Road. Unfortunately,  All the occupants in the vehicle lost their lives.  My client was a successful and an accomplished family man,  who made enough fortune before his untimely death.  Since then I had made several inquiries through your Embassy to locate any of my clients extended relative but this exercise has proved unsuccessful.
 After several unsuccessful attempts.  Not too long after his untimely death, his outstanding balance of US$ 13, 400, 000.
00 was approved and transfered into one of my country's affiliated payment centre in Europe.  Right now the funds are still floating unclaimed in the suspense account of the offshore correspondence payment centre in Europe.  I decided to trace his relatives by whatever means availiable to me and through the Internet,  to locate any member of his family not much progress was recorded.  By virtue of my closeness to the deceased and his immediate family, I am very much aware of my client related documents on which the contract was awarded and executed.
 I have reasoned very professionally and I feel it will be legally proper to present you as the next of kin of my deceased client,  so that you can be paid the remaining balance of his contract funds left in the bank in Europe, hence I contacted you.  I am offering you this opportunity by contacting you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Bank where this huge Deposits were lodged. The National Electric Power Authority issued me a notice as the Attorney to the Deceased to provide the Next of Kin or have the Account confiscated within a very limited time frame since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years now that I have been searching,  I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin or family member to the Deceased,
 so that the proceeds of this remaining balance of his contract funds valued at $ 13. 4 Million Dollars can be paid to you.  We shall both share the funds, we will agreed on the sharing ratio as we proceed,  A certain amount will be set aside for any incured expenses and for donation to charitable organizations.
 I have all the necessary Legal Documents that will be used to back up any claim we may make.  All I require is your honest co- operation to enable us see this project through.  I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law.  Please get in touch with me by email as soon as possible.  Respectfully Yours,
 Barrister GIWA ADAMS ( ESQ)  Does anyone actually ever fall for this shit?
