Dear Friend,
I am , an attorney in London. A client of mine by the name of died in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, together with his wife and family, as a result of the deadly tsunami. Please log on to the following Web sites for more about the tsunami: www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2004/tsunami.disaster/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Indian_Ocean_earthquake
The main reason I am contacting you is to ask that you assist me in ensuring that the funds lodged by my late client with a financial institution abroad do not get declared unclaimed because he died with his wife and children. The financial institution has issued me a notice to contact the next of kin, or else the funds will be confiscated. My proposition to you is to seek your consent to present you as the next of kin and beneficiary of my late client so that the proceeds of the funds can be paid to you. Then we can share the amount on the basis of mutually agreed-to percentages. All legal documents to back up your claim as my client's next of kin will be provided for you. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us to see this transaction through. The transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. If this business proposition offends your moral values, do accept my apology. Otherwise, please contact me at once to indicate your interest. If you are willing to assist me in this venture, I will establish verbal communication with you by telephone so as to give you a much better picture of the situation.
Email.
Best regards,

Mr B....,

I will contact you through my private yahoo account.

Dear Friend,
I received your e-mail, and I will certainly appreciate our working this out together. My client died in Banda Aceh in Indonesia together with all members of his family in the recent deadly tsunami disaster.. I had been his attorney for the previous 20 years. I contacted you because my client had no family member to stand as next of kin in order to claim his funds held in a bank. The bank contacted me as attorney to ask me about the next of kin to claim the funds the bank held. If you are ready to conclude this venture with me, I will give you 30 percent of the total funds and I will take 70 percent. I will present to the bank all of the necessary documents--with your name as next of kin--and the bank will then contact you. My plan is that I nominate you as next of kin by means of a written letter duly signed by me that will inform the bank that I wish the funds to be transferred to you. I’ll need your home mailing address as well as your phone and fax numbers in addition to a photo ID so as to facilitate and authenticate the validity of the venture. Once I have this information from you, I will prepare the legal documents and forward them to the bank as confirmation. I’ll then send you the affidavit of claim and an agreement to sign. Please send me all of the information indicated above, so that I can start the written instruction and the agreement and have everything sent to you. You can reach me through my Office line:
Kindly attach to your reply any copies of other appropriate documentation of your identity, such as an international passport or driver’s license. I will also do the same so as to establish trust between us and as a way for each of us to know whom we’re dealing with. I await your response, and please expect my call immediately after that. There is no risk involved in this venture because it is legal. The total amount with the bank is US$22.5 million. As the attorney of my client, I cannot tolerate the bank’s taking control of my late client’s funds. Thank you for your understanding and your assistance.
Note: Always reply me through this email address

Mr B....,
This is tempting, but there's still the matter of how I can be some sort of family relation to an Indonesian, and especially one from Banda Aceh. I'm an American citizen from South Carolina and I'd like to know how it could be made to work.

Off script at last!

Listen, am the attorney incharge, don't worry about that, it's my duty to prepare you as the bonafide next of kin, when i receive your informations, i will prepare all legal documents and forward to the bank to confirm you as the bonafide next of kin... That's my duty...
M.B.... ESQ...

The phone is Esq's... the Lad seems not to have called.

Mr B....,
Ain't you the confident one! Well, if you say it'll work...
My home address is , Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia 0870.
I don't have a fax. As for my phone - I'll have to explain. I was badly hurt in a car crash just over a month ago and had to move closer to the hospital, as I need ongoing therapy. The phone hasn't been connected yet; I do have a mobile - .
What sort of ID would do?
Regards,
M...... R.......

28 July 2008
Your passport or driver's ID will do... I will expect that to proceed.
M.B.... ESQ

Mr B....,
I don't think I could oblige you there. Copying passports was ruled out by the State Department after 9/11, and my driver's license was impounded after the crash - unfairly, I might add, since I wasn't at fault!
The only option that I can think of is my USMC reserve ID. Would that do?
M...... R.......

28 July 2008
Yes, that will do...

Two DLLs renamed USMC ID (front) and USMC ID (back) follow...

Mr B....,
OK - you got it!
M...... R.......

And, as sometimes happens, he seems to have not bothered trying to read them...

Dear M......,
I have prepared all legal documents and forward to the bank to confirm you as the bonafide next of kin, i have also scan and attached the affidavit of claim and agreement for you to sign, you have to sign it and send back, very important, i need you to know that am depositing a great trust in you by making you the bonafide next of kin to my late client, this is very important to me. After confirming you as the bonafide next of kin, the bank will contact you and demand for your informations to reconfirm and to open an offshore account on your name with the funds deposited on it, this is very important, i will expect the signed affidavit of claim and agreement. The bank will contact you today...
Sincerely,
M...... B.... ESQ

It came as a PDF, but at the time my PDF reader was disabled.

These guys will even supply you with a phony web address to the phony bank it will say you have several million dollars in it Just for the fun of it I played with them for a bit. I said to transfer $20000.00 to my bank account (Not my main one) I think I have a whopping $20.00 in it ) Cool

and as promised they sent me an email wanting $48,000.00 for the exchange Commission When I told them to take it out of the account. Now hold on tight you are not going to believe why this can not be done. Because people have ask that this be done and never paid the fee! How do you do that? But about my plea any suckers I mean good peple who will help me out! Please do not tell me to go to DC and ask Tried to small of an amount! Laughing
