Attention.
Mr. XXXXX X XXXXX
Allow me to introduce myself, I am Mr.Felix William, and I am one of the directors of HSBC Bank London UK.
On the 2nd of January 2005, I received a call that one of my clients, along with his wife and only child had been killed in the Tsunami Disaster while on Vacation at Puckett Island in Thailand. Since that time I have made several inquiries to locate any of my
clients extended relatives both here in Britain and in the United States. Our records indicate that you are his closest living relative so far.
I have contacted you, because you are the lawful heir to the money left behind by your relative, XXXXX X XXXXX and we must make hasty preparation to disperse the fund before it is confiscated by our government or declared Unserviceable by the bank where this deposit is lodged.
I hope you understand, my clients identity must remain hidden for security purposes but as his relative you are most likely aware of his untimely passing.
The bank Directors have called a board meeting regarding these funds scheduled for the 14th of may in our London office. My primary concern is to present you to the board as the next of kin to the Deceased and rightful heir to the estate at that time. Your presence for this meeting is not requires. Since I retain all his Banking details I am acting as his personal Account manager. As such, I have complete authority to disperse the total estate currently valued in excess of US$10,000.000.00 (Ten Million United States Dollars) to the lawful heirs. My authority will not be questioned if I present you, his living heir, for payment.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating any other biological relatives of my late client, I hereby seek your consent to present you to the bank as next-of-kin of the deceased. If you are aware of other persons who may lay claim to the estate it is normally required of you to disclose this information forthwith. However, many clients wish to accept the full amount of the estate and pay proportionally any other heirs, themselves as the executor of the estate. With a promise to take that responsibility, I can present you as the only legitimate heir.
Since you are a foreigner, the proceeds of this account valued in excess of US$10,000.000.00 can be transferred electronically directly to you. As the sole beneficiary your inheritance is non taxable under our law however there are significant fees involved with the dissolution of the estate.
After my fees and a 10% donation to the Tsunami Disaster Charity Fund (or other charity of your choice) you will receive 50% of the estate less any actual costs arising out of the transfer.
You may wish to file a claim for the money on your own in which case the money would be transferred thru the state department and the US embassy. At that juncture, the inheritance would also be subject to estate taxes and probate along with a state department search for all other living relatives. This is an unfortunate waste of the wealth your relative amassed and most clients prefer to keep the proceeding on the ...how do you say it? "down low?"
We shall start the first transfer with US$4,000.000.00 (four Million United States Dollars only), upon the successful actualization of the First transfer and without any disappointment from your side, we shall Re-apply for the payment of the remaining amount to your account. I must trust that you will then forward my fee's back to me and will send along a written agreement to that effect along with power of attorney limited to that portion of said funds which we have agreed shall be my fee for this legal work.
I have the original copy of Certificate of Deposit of the funds, which have matured as of 3/ 14/ 06. Those documents will be
used to substantiate our inheritance claims. All I Require is your consent and
honest co-operation to enable us see the deal through. I will need your U.S. Bank account numbers where you wish the money deposited where we will perform a nominal test of good faith in the amount of $10,000 US. We will deliver by courier a bank draft in the amount of 10,000 which you will deposit, I will, with your authority, withdraw the 10,000 from the account to make sure the accounts are both open and accessible. this must be done within three days.
Furthermore, I guarantee that the transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you (and I) from any breach of the law or violation of international agreement.

If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!
the thing is with these scams that somewhere there is going to be someone who will fall for it, and i don`t have one ounce of sympathy for them,they deserve to be ripped off for being so stupid...and greedy!
oh this one is for real, I checked it out...I opened a bank acount in my name only not connected to any of my other accounts so there can't be any funny business. He told me that was the best way to protect myself and he promised not to share any of my personal information with any one else...He is a nice english gentleman or maybe scottish with his accent, I can't really tell, but he is definatly on the up and up and wants me to find him an antique winchester to put over his mantle....
Isn't there a saying like a, "A fool and his money are soon parted".

Giving 10% to the tsunami disaster charity is a nice touch.

ah youre just jealous, Mr williams picked me to help out in this situation, he is not a fraud like those guys, he even warned me there would be some who would try to tear down my dreams or say it could be a phoney deal, he told me there were some nigerians who tried some scams over the internet but he wasn't associated with them.
My uncle must have died and left me the money (or some relative) he hasn't told me which one. Thats a little strange because I didn't give my uncle my email, maybe my mom did. I wonder if they contacted her, she is a living relative...so are my sisters. I bet they will want some money, I better not ask them, they don't need money anyway
Well played.
I am going to buy the Barret only now I can afford the semi auto version instead of the single shot, I already found one online and I am getting ready to bid.
Don't worry, I won't let it go to my head this is my only extravagant purchase...well maybe that 105k corvette...those are too cool...
I read and reread it. the man is completely above board, we are going to do a test with his money, I got nothing to lose. I deposit his check, he takes it back out. if it turns out to be a fraud I just walk away.

When the draft bounces, you will be liable for the $10k plus penalty since you deposited the draft.
Bouncing is 100% likely.

So...
You weren't joking?
Think about it this way...
You're sitting in a bar with some of your friends and the best looking woman you've ever seen comes over, taps on your shoulder, and says "Come with me, big boy".
You either allow your ego to confirm that you, indeed, are the most desirable stud the world has ever known and take her up on the offer, or you listen to that little voice that's asking "Why me?".
Given the circumstances of your impending deal I might be asking myself the "Why me?" question. You know very well that you have no uncle or cousin who passed away. Further, you very well know that all relatives are notified should something as is claimed take place. It's called probate.
And your one comment says it all if you're really serious... You note that you have siblings, but that they don't need the money. Not your call my friend! Even if this offer was on the level (It isn't!), your actions would make you a thief.
Which is exactly what your scam artist is looking for! You'll get exactly what you deserve. Walk away. Walk away for the sake you your wallet and for the sake of your soul.
