- From Dr. John Badan, Attorney to Late Mr Peter Lund, Dear friend, I am a Lawyer to late mr Peter Lund here in Jakarta Indonesia. I am writing following an opportunity in myoffice that will be of immense benefit for both of us. I discovered an abandoned sum of $22.1million,( Twenty Two Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars) in an account that belongs to my client Late Mr.Peter Lund an American who unfortunately lost his life in the Tsunami disaster in Thailand 2005 including his wife and only daughter.Since the bank got information about his death, they have been expecting his next of kin or relatives to come over and claim his money because the bank cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in their banking guidelines. Unfortunately I learnt that his supposed next of kin being his only daughter died along with him in the Tsunami disaster leaving nobody with the knowledge of this fund behindfor the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I and one other officials in this bank now decided to make business with you and release the money to you as the next ofkin or beneficiary of the funds for safety keeping and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go back into Bank treasury as unclaimed bill. The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that such money remained after five years the money will be transferred into banking treasury a s unclaimed funds. We agreed that 30% of this money will be for you as foreign partner,10% will be use to upset expenses that might incure on the cours of making this transaction a success while 60% will be for me and my colleague. I will visit your country once the deal is concluded for the disbursement of the fund according to the percentages indicated above once this money gets into your account. Please be honest to me and trust is our watchword in this transaction.Note this transaction is confidential and risk free.As soon as you receive this mail you should contact me by reply mail.Please note that all necessary arrangement for the smooth release of these funds to you has been finalized.We will discuss much in details when I do receive your response.Please respond. Best regards, Dr. John Badan.

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.
