One out of five!

Dear Beneficiary,

For the purpose of introduction, I am Mr. George Johnson; the Bank Manager Barclays Bank Plc London,UK.
Your late relative who died in an auto accident along with his family left the sum of US$10,500,000 in our custody and included your name as his beneficiary to inherit the funds but ever since his death you've not come forward to claim the funds, so I was instructed by the Board of director to notify you online that you're over due for payment.
So, for effective release of your inherited funds without encountering any hitches or stop order from funds monitory agency both locally and internationally, we've arranged on how best to release your inheritance other than the wire transfer.
Listen carefully to this instructions: The funds shall be packaged in a Metallic Box, locked and then dispatch via Diplomatic Courier Company with high diplomatic immunity to your residence which you shall be called upon by the delivery agent for further instructions upon the arrival.
If that's okay by you, get back to me with the following information's as listed below.
1. Full name on ID
2. Valid residential address
3. Effective telephone number,
Note that the courier charges shall be deducted from the funds before dispatching the box; so you're not required to pay any courier charges and also note that the delivery agent assigned to deliver the box to your residence does not know the box contains money because he might decide to divert the box to another location, so you're required to keep it secret and to any other person.
Finally, as soon as I acknowledge the information's listed stated above, we shall instruct Diplomatic Courier Company to dispatch the box and a copy of the Airway bill shall be scanned and sent to you as evidence that the box has been dispatched.
We await your urgent response,
Mr. George Johnson(BM)

Important Notes :-

1. Whatever you do, do not respond to any e-mail like this. If you have given bank details to any fraudster like this, then inform your bank immediately and also make sure that you close the account.

2. If the e-mail mentions a well known e-mail address such as from gmail.com, live.com, yahoo.com etc., then why not forward the offending e-mail to abuse@gmail.com, abuse@live.com etc. Hopefully, they'll remove the e-mail address, which will stop people being sucked in.
