Let me get this straight - they want me to tell them about any scam payments I’m supposed to be receiving so that they can give me a different one?
Oh, and here’s a link to another version of it, with the same reference number and everything!
And another one…
Oh, guess what!
I love these…rofl….I laugh whenever I get one in my junk email, don’t generally take the time to read them though, I may have to start. If nothing else, it’ll give me a good chuckle for the day….
Dear Sir / Madam,
I am Mr. Daniels Egbeke. a private financial consultant
/Account portfolio manager.
I happen to have managed a particular account for a
Resident Foreigner,here in Benin Republic, who accidentally
died Interstate, leaving in our care a reasonable
amount in a Domiciliary United States Dollars Account.
The Highly confidential nature of our client and our
Business Confidential disposition on Client to client
Basis did not warrant us to have an easily
identifiable next of Kin to this particular Client. I
have made several enquiries to locate any of my
client’s relatives immediate and extended,this has
proved unsuccessful.
Hence, I am contacting you. I need you to assist in
securing the money and property left behind by my
client before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the Finance House here in Benin Republic
where his deposits were lodged. The Finance House has
issued a Government Mandatory Formality, notice to
provide the Next of Kin or have the account
confiscated within the next one month.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating any of his
relatives for over two years and convinced that no one
is coming up and having satisfied the mandatory legal
requirement of Beneficiary /next of kin
Notification, I now make Bold to seek a Reliable and
Trustworthy person with your consent and perfect
understanding, to present you as the next of kin of
the deceased so that the proceeds of this account
valued at Twenty One Million, Three Hundred And Twenty
Thousand United States Dollars, interest Inclusive,
can be paid into an account to be provided by you(
preferably outside the country Financial Institutions
or its Isles), as the perceived Next Of Kin Legally
and Otherwise.
I have all necessary documents to back up these
claims as Next of Kin on your behalf. All I require is
your honest cooperation and confidence in me, which I
believe that it is not easy as we have not done
similar transaction before and not by reference. Hence
the reasons I choose to call this a Deal,as it will be
based on trust to enable us see this transaction
through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of the law. I would advise that you give this a
positive consideration and get back to me via this
e-mail addres(
) as I would be very flexible as
well as considerate in percentage share that will be
given to you for
your assistance. Upon receipt of your response l will
send to you my private number so that you can reach me
for further discussion regarding this project.
Best regards,
Mr. Daniels Egbeke
Hear that? my “next of kin” died interstate.. I wonder which one now has a blotch of red in the fast lane…
