    Just Read Some of This And You'll Get The Point
    This was recieved in one of my emails.


    Dear Friend,

    I sincerely apologize for intruding into your privacy especially by
    contacting you through this means for a business transaction of this
    magnitude, but due to its seriousness and urgency it therefore became
    necesary for me to seek your assistance.

    I am Barr. Alex Duke the personal lawyer to Late Mr. Mark, a foreigner,
    who worked with an Oil Servicing Company in the oil rich Niger Delta Area
    of Bayelsa State. I am contacting you concerning my late client and an
    investment he made. I would respectfully request that you keep the
    contents of this mail confidential and respect the integrity of the
    information you come by as a result of this mail. I contacted you
    independently and no one should be informed of this communication. I would
    like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of
    interest to you.

    This is a genuine transaction and is 100% risk free. All I'm demanding
    from you is your honest co-operation to enable us achieve our goal, and
    not a perfidious person. On the 6th of May, 2002 it was reported to us
    that my Client, his wife and their only daughter were involved in a Local
    Plane Crash at Kano State,enroute Abuja (The Capital City) all occupants
    in the Plane lost their lives,unfortunately on this same flight were other
    dignitaries like the Sports Minister and a host of others

    Meanwhile, until his death, my late client had a Fixed Deposit Account of
    USD $12.8 Million deposited in a Secrity Company ( UNIC SECURITY COMPANY)
    here. Recently, I received an ultimatum from the Security Company asking
    me to provide my late client's relative so that the money would be given
    to them. But unfortunately it was discovered that my late client did
    notdeclare any identifiable family member in all the official documents he
    tendered to the Security Company while opening the account.

    Therefore, this development leaves me as the only person with the full
    picture of what the prevailing situation is in relation to the deposit my
    late client made and who is entitled to be the Bona Fide Beneficiary/Next
    of Kin or relative because he died intestate.Therefore, if I fail to
    locate any of his relatives or his next of kin (and have this money
    transfered to them) the Security Company will at the expiration of the 6
    weeks ultimatum given to me confiscate the account.

    According to the ultimatum issued to me by the Security Company, if I fail
    to present to them my late client's relative, with a legitimate statement
    of claim for the money before the given time they will confiscate the
    account and the money declared 'UNCLAIMED BALANCE'. This will result in
    the money being taken over by the Security Company. This will not happen
    if I have my way.

    Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives of my late client
    all these while, my proposal, therefore, is to pres
    ent you as the next of
    kin/relative of my client due to the fact that you are a foreigner and can
    easily pass as a possible relative of my client. I know you will be
    wondering how possible this could be but I assure you that this is simple.

    I therefore seek your consent to present you as the Next Of Kin to my
    client so that the money he deposited with the Security Company would be
    paid to you and there after you and I will share the money 40% for you and
    I will be taking 60% . I assure you that the deposit would be released to
    you within a few days because I have all the relevant information that
    would facilitate that will be required on Documentation.

    First, I will like you to provide immediately the following information:

    Your full names.
    Contact address.
    Telephone/Fax Numbers.

    With these information I will prepare the necessary documents and
    affidavit that will put you in place as the next of kin. After we have
    successfully satisfied the requirements of the bank the money totalling
    USD $12.8 Million would be paid intoyour account for you to take 40% and I
    will be taking 60% . All I require is your honest co-operation to enable
    us see this through.


    There is no risk at all because everything would be done legally and my
    position as a qualified attorney will facilitate everything . Secondly, I
    will give you all the necessary documents that would serve as evidence
    proving that you are the Next of Kin/ Relative of my late client. These
    documents will legally confer on you the status to act as the Beneficiary
    of the Estate of my late client.

    What I related to you might smack of unethical practice but I want you to
    understand that this is a once in life time opportunity capable of turning
    around our situation. The truth is that this money would not be taken by
    the government but by some greedy Security Company Officails and I would
    not fold my arms and watch this happen hence my decision to contact you.


    If you are interested in doing this transaction with me kindly send your
    reply to this email address:

    Yeah, it's too long for me. But from what Z-mighty quoted, it's an obvious scam. Just ignore it.

    That made me laugh.

    I did not read all of it, but did he ask for anything that could potentially steal your identity? And if so, send a series of male prostitutes to his house.

    But if this guy is telling the truth, which I highly doubt, you are a millionare, and are eligible for wrastler's prostitution business. How many would you like?
