Dear Friend

On behalf of the trustees and executor of the estate of my late client, I once Again try to notify you as my earlier mail were returned undelivered.

First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction. We shall be counting On your capability and reliability to prosecute a transaction of this magnitude Involving a pending business transaction requiring maximum confidence.

We wish to notify you that you can be presented as a beneficiary to the total sum of US$5.5 Million of my late client’s fund in a financial company. We contacted you because you bear the surname identity and therefore can present you as the beneficiary to the inheritance.

Please if I reach you this time as I am hopeful, endeavor to get back to me With your name and phone number, as soon as possible.

Thank you and have a blessed day.

Your's sincerely

Barrister Tom Ikoko

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.
