On behalf of the Trustees and Executor of the estate of Late Mr. Brian York , I once again try to notify you as my earlier letter was returned undelivered. I hereby attempt to reach you again by this same email address on the WILL.I wish to notify you that late Mr. Brian York made you a beneficiary to his WILL. he left the sum of Five Million Hundred Thousand Dollars (USD$ 5,100.000.00 ) to you in the codicil and last testament to his will.this may sound strange and unbelievable to you, but it is real and true.

Being a widely travelled man, he must have been in contact with you in the past or simply you were nominated to him by one of his numerous friends abroad who wished you good. Mr.
Brian York until his death was a member of the Helicopter Society and the Institute of Electronic & Electrical Engineers. He was a very dedicated Man who loved to give out.His great philanthropy earned him numerous awards during his life time.

Late Mr. Brian York died on the 16th day of February 2004 at the age of 90 years and his WILL is now ready for execution. According to him this money is to support his Goodwill activities (may his soul rest in peace.) and to help the poor and needy.Please if I reach you as I am hopeful,endeavour to get back to me as soon as possible to enable me conclude my job.

Thanks and remain bless. I hope to hear from you in no distant date. Please contact me via this email address if I reach this time. : richardelvis@homemail.co.za

I got one too. Interesting to note that the originating email is on mac.com but the forwarding email is on homemail.co.za residing in South Africa! ... I guess I'll have to keep looking elsewhere for my millions. ((sigh))

I also received this email, skeptical i googled it and found this site. If I inherited any money i'm sure they would have my address and phone number and not my email. and they would contact me that way.

Ditto ditto - been there, received that same email too. Why don't we all phone the guy collect? Ha ha ha! There ought to be a way to bounce this stuff back to it's source. Why can't someone figure out how to do it?

I just recieved the same. I wish i did inherit this money. But remember anything that sounds too good is too good to be true. Our news just did a report on scams like this one so luckly I was well aware. I responded back to him by saying to reach me you can dial 911 and ask for officer Smith. And let him know that you want to be arresed for fraud.

I received the same letter, except it was sent from a Mr Jim Lawrence. The letter had exactly the same content though. There are so many clues to tell you it's fraudulent, a pity that they will get at least one tosser who'll fall for it.

I am glad I found this site. I got this email from a Mr. David Zuma. It said that Brian York died in 2008. LOL, I guess he died in 2004, rose from the dead, and died again.
