I decided to try a new twist. Mr. Olando writes asking me to be a "Stand In" because he can't locate any next of kin.
It must be a miracle, Mr. Olando has reached the only living relative of the man he's referring to. Twisted Evil

Dear Friend,

I am MR. Olando Ogunde, Bank Manager of ZENITH BANK OF NIGERIA, Lagos
Branch. I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for
you. On June 6 1999, an American oil consultant/contractor with the
Nigerian NationalPetroleum Corporation, Mr. Barry Kelly made a numbered
time (Fixed) deposited for twelve calendar months, valued at (TWENTY
FIVE Million United States Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a
routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After
a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discoveredfrom his contract
employers,Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation that Mr. Barry Kelly
died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out
that he did not leave a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin
were fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered
that Mr. Barry Kelly did not declare any next of kin n all his official
documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork. This sum of
US$25,000,000.00 is still sitting in the Bank and the interest is being rolled
over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will come
forward to claim it. According to the Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 5
(five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian
Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Consequently, my
proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin
to Mr. Barry Kelly so that the fruits of this old man's labour will not
get into the hands of some corrupt officials. This is
simple I will like you to provide me immediately with your full
namesand
address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and
affidavits, which will put you in place as the n ext of kin. We shall
employ the services of two attorneys for drafting and notarization of
the
WILL and obtain the necessary documents and letter of
probate/administration in your favor the transfer. A bank account in any part of the
world,which you provide, will then facilitatethe transfer of this money to
you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be paid into your
account for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you.
There is no risk at all as all thepaperwork for this transaction will
be done by the attorney and my position as the Branch Manager
guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested,
please reply immediately via email. Upon your response, I shall then
provide you with more detailsand relevant documents that will help you
understand. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that
this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I
shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country. Awaiting
your urgent reply via email: [[email protected]]

Best regards,

Mr. Olando Ogunde.

Mr. Orlando,

It must be a miracle you have written to me!

Would you be referring to Mr. Barry Boysenberry Kelly, who died in a tragic auto accident in while on his way in Lagos, Nigeria?

I am his only surviving relative and I too, had lost contact with him and was beginning to worry that something may have happened to him.

I am ever so glad that you have located me, it would indeed be a shame if his accounts were to default to the Nigerian Government.

A very good friend of his, Mr. Michael Nambla Jackson, has a great deal of legal trouble in our country and is in need of money. This is indeed a blessing and would be of great help to his boyhood friend Michael.

Please forward details how to proceed with the acquistion of my late great cousin's accounts.

Sincerly,
Stu Pidassho

Any bets on whether he catches the Name mispelled, or will he start using Orlando instead of Olando?

On my first bait I "met" the next of kin of the guy who died about two weeks into the bait (my lad picked a guy who had "Sr." after his name which gave me the idea). I forgot to save the bait and my fake account went inactive for too long so all the mail was deleted. Too bad - it was a funny one.

I did that a couple of times. I said, 'what are the odds you actually email me? I am his uncle/cousin/sister. This is amazing. We knew that bastard left money somewhere. Thanks very much our lawyers will be getting those truck boxes full-o-cash'

I only ever had 1 write back with some lame excuse about how he had mis-spelled the mans name. It was actually a pretty good excuse, but it wasn't good enough.

As for him picking up on your name thing... I actually copy and pasted an entire Dr.Suess story into one of my respones and he didnt even blink an eye. I also send my passport which was a picture of a toaster. Again nothing... I really hopes he notices. But then you could get a slap...
