I am Barrister Chris Duke, a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to Mr Pitt Fitzgerald, national of your country. Here in after shall be referred to as my client. On the 21st of April
2002, my client was involved in a car accident along Ibum express road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy here
to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name over the Internet, to locate any
member of his family hence I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the fund valued at US$15.5 million left behind by my client before it gets confisicated or declared
unserviceable by the Security Finance Firm where this huge amount were deposited.The said Security Finance company has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account
confisicated within the next twenty one official workingdays. Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 3 years now,I seek the consent to present you as the next of kin to
the deceased since you have the same last names, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you. Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio
and modalities for transfer. I have all necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up for claim. All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this
transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Best regards,
Chris Duke. |

I read quite a bit of the info on that site...and it seems that anyone with half a brain would be able to tell its a scam. Or atleast do some deep investigating. I mean, if Im going to get 1.6 million for something, and there is a 30g fee for this, and a 50g fee for that...take it outta the 1.6 million right? Why would i need to come up with the money first? that doesnt make sense and banks and things of that nature dont work like that, so I assume.

LOL my girlfriend got the exact same letter, just the names were different.
she sent a reply e-mail out of curiosity wanting more info and the guy actually sent passport and certificate scans.
at that point i was having thoughts, but then i stumbled across a thread on a forum which was filled with these mails.
all of em were exactly the same, just the names were adapted to the subjects.
i told it to my gf and she sent him the most insulting piece of text i ever read

Quite an easy mistake to make, even for English speakers. But for someone educated to Barrister level, not a chance. Or should I say his legal secretary.

I'm surprised that half of these halfwits even have access to electricity nevermind the internet.
