My OH has just checked her emails and recieved this :

 

Dear Miss ********

 

Attention,

 

May I use this opportunity to draw to your cognizance and respect, knowing that this Letter will be a surprise to you. I am Alfred Lee, an attorney at law and the accredited legal representative to late (Mr. **** ********), who was herein after, as my client. He died as a result of a heart related disease in the Month of December 2005.

 

However, I will like you to assist in the distribution of the funds left behind by my late client, before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Bank officials, and this deposit valued; Eighteen Million Seven Hundred And Twenty Five Thousand United States Dollars.

 

This bank has issued me a notice to contact the next of kin, or have the account confiscated.

 

My proposition to you is to seek your consent in presenting you as the next of kin beneficiary to my late client's Estates, since you have the same last name, so the proceeds of this account can be remitted into your account as a foreign partner. Then we can both share the funding on a mutually agreed percentage.

 

All legal documentations to back up your claims as my late client's next of kin will be provided. Then, all I require is your absolute honesty, cooperation and total adherence to my instructions, to enable us transfer this funds into your account smoothly. And I do not need any money from you in order to achieve this transaction.

 

This transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement, which will protect you from any infraction of the law.

 

If this proposition offends your moral ethics, do accept my sincere apology. In the contrary, if it pleases you, then contact me with urgency.

 

I shall await your response.

 

 

Yours faithfully,

 

 

Barrister Alfred Lee

All the names were correct, the only problem was in saying he died in december 2005.....funny, he was ok when he went to work this morning.

 

Wonder if he knows he's dead - good excuse for a day off
