Since the death of my client Joseph, I as his personal attorney, have made several enquiries to locate his only surviving relation, without any success. I came across your name and contact on the course of my personal searching for Joseph's relations, so I decided to contact you for this project. I am contacting you to assist in repatriating and securing the wealth left behind in a fixed deposit account by Joseph, before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by Bank where my client operates an account worth GBP6.2 Million Pounds. The board of Bank has issued me a notice that after 2 months from now and no next of kin shown up for the claiming of the said funds, the funds will be confiscated and declared unserviceable.

Since I and my team have been unsuccessful in locating Joseph's relatives for sometime now,it on this note that I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin of the deceased since you are bearing the same last name with him, so that the proceed of this deposit valued at GBP6.2 Million Pounds can be released to you for our disbursments.All requires is your honest cooperation to enable us see this business successful. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement which will protect you from any breach of the law. Joseph was a very good man and it is not wise for me to allow his hard earned wealth to be stolen by the greedy directors of the Bank .Further details awaits your response by email.Upon your response, furnish me with:

Your full name and address
Your telephone and fax numbers
Your occupation and age

As soon as I receive the above information from you, I will email you with all the modalities which the bank will demand for the smooth transfer of the fund into any bank account which you are to provide, you are only going to fill a form and send to the bank Directors to enabe them know that I have located a relation to my late client since they asked that I should provide the next of kin for them to release the inheritance fund. Let me hear from you once you acknowledge my email.

Yours faithfully,
Barrister Larry Smith(Esq)

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.
