Sean Glen of the Bank of Scotland?

 

I think I'm going to rate some of the ludicrous frauds that I get sent.

But only on the quality of the laugh I get.

This ones a three out of five.

From: BANK OF SCOTLAND,
LONDON BRANCH.

Dear Friend,
Please do not be offended if I have invaded your privacy. I am Mr.Sean Glen, and I am contacting you on business transfer of a large sum of money from a deceased account. I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make anyone apprehensive and worried, but I assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day. We decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction.We came to know of you via the London. Global. Database.Center (L.G.D.C.) Hence i am making this contact.

PROPOSITION.
I was the account officer to Mr Salah Adam (deceased) one of our foreign customers. While he banked with us, we oversaw his accounts and other official obligations as my office demanded being his accounts officer. Unfortunately, he died together with his entire family in the plane crash of 31 October, 1999 on board the Egyptian Airline 990 alongside other passengers. . You can confirm this fact from the website which was aired by the BBC WORLD NEWS: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm

Usual garbage....

If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed on you, I await your urgent mail.

Please reply to my private e-mail: seanglen088@yahoo.ie

Regards,
Mr. Sean Glen
Accounts Management Section.

The Governor and Company of the Bank of Scotland, constituted under an Act of Parliament dated 1695, Head Office: The Mound, Edinburgh, EH1 1YZ

To me this an immediate give away.
Firstly because most people using yahoo are have free (disposable) accounts.
Secondly because a person in his position would probably have an internet connection at home.
