Imagine my suprise when this Email came through - the answer to all my prayers!!!

"URGENT ATTENTION NEEDED

I am The personal account officer to Mr Mark fowler a very rich gold merchant who owns a multi-national company. There is an urgent issue on ground that needs your urgent attention. Mr Markfowler died with his entire family in an auto-crash on the 2nd of October 2001. He has a very big multi-national company in united kindom where I served as a personal accounting officer to him.

After his death, I observed with patience and  notice that nobody has come up as the surviving relative or next of kin to Mr. Mark fowler. Because this man was good to me when he was alive, I took it upon myself to find out why nobody has come up as his next of kin.Initially my research revealed to me that he has no surviving close relative.There is a policy here in my country, which is if nobody comes up as the relation or next of kin to the deceased within a period of five years, the money in the deceased account would be forfeited to the Government with immediate effect.

I then made more findings by going to the bank and requesting to know the names of the people Mr.Mark fowler declared as the next of kin. The bank granted me my request and provided me with the list of Mr. Mark fowler's next of kin. Among this list was your name with a brief contact information about you. Since you are the only next of kin left whose status has not yet been confirmed, I then decided to send you these email to let you know that you are the only next of kin to Mr. Mark fowler left. The total money in his account is Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars(US$10,500,000.00). At this point, immediately you receive these email reply back to me with your full contact information including phone and fax numbers so that I can forward it to the bank as the only surviving next of kin to Mr. Mark fowler so that the bank can start processing the release of the funds to you before it is too late.

I await your urgent response.

Best Regards"

Yep, had loads of them. I'm running out of places to store the cash.

I've won lotteries all around the world too. :t-up:

I presume the scam is that I have to pay something to get the money released/transferred etc and then it never appears.

Why can't people just get a job to earn money like everyone else has to!?

Strangely enough I can't find it on any of the scam websites so it must be a new one - or individually targetted...................or........ maybe its true?!?!?!

That and hand over your bank details too.

We had a letter from a lottery in Spain, they said they would be happy to do a bank transfer directly into our account. However, it would need to be insured...

Funny thing was that the police weren't really interested, even though the letter had full contact details (phone, fax, postal address etc.).

Oh well.

Seems like the Nigerians have watched East Enders a few times so that's where the name probably came from.They no doubt think we are all related to a Mark Fowler, gawd blimey guvnor!.

It's not exactly what i would call professionally written either is it?.   :D

Not at all, in fact i have just the plane for you!.

As you have enough to deal with at the moment, send the deposit for the plane to my P.O box (put FAO N.Cotton on the package) and i will make sure it arrives highly polished when you are ready.

Gosh - isn't that amazing? To think, a multimillionaire took the time to list you as a member of his kin, and even to find out and note down some contact information for you including an e-mail address. Yet you never knew you had a multimillionaire for a relative. Isn't life odd?

What a terrible way to find out that an entire branch of your family have apparently been wiped out in a car crash though.

They must have been close together and travelling ever so quickly. One of these perhaps?
