Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not meet your personal ethics. I will introduce myself as Mr. andrew Young and I work with a Bank here in London-England, We had a Mr. Abdul, customer that had a deposit of $12.8M(Twelve Million Eight Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) before he died about 8 years now (July 30, 2000) and since he died, we in the Bank here have been expecting his/her next of kin/relative(s) for the inheritance of the deposit,but none has surfaced.From my investigations and confirmations, nobody has done anything as regards the claiming of this money because he has no family members who are aware of the existence of neither the account nor the funds.
Also Information from the National Immigration states that he was also single on entry into the UK.
The policy of the Bank however stipulates a limited time period for such inheritance to be made or the fund will be written off going by the record of the incident, the time limit for the claim is closing up.
In this consideration,I am contacting you to seek for your kind understanding and sincere co-operation to claim this inheritance for our mutual benefit.
If you can stand as the next of kin in this project, success is assured because I am in possession of the personal file jacket of the deceased which contains every needed information about the account and the deceased.You and I stand no risk of any kind because I have enough information to support you in claiming the inheritance.The proceedings of the transaction will be shared 50% each after expenses are reimbursed.
Kindly indicate your willingness by email and we shall proceed with the initial step for the claim.
The entire project is expected to last for about ten working days.
Please kindly get back to me urgently so that we will discuss more on this issue.
Also do not fail to furnish me with your direct phone and fax numbers for easier communication.
Best Regards,
Mr Andrew Young
The thing that makes me laugh more than anything is that there are people who actually fall for this stuff. Frankly, if you are one to fall for it, then you deserve to be scammed.
The best way to combat stuff like this is to not respond to emails from people you do not know. Or not respond to emails from people who claim to be from another country. These one like this are more than likely scams made up from terrorists organizations in hopes to get money to fund their death missions.

ABUJA.
I probably get about ten of these a day. I got one the other day from some one claiming to be the fbi on the look out for the scams like this. Had the actual fbi letter head and logo on it lol. Only thing that made me red flag it was that it claimed that the fbi would mail me my check of 12.8 million british pounds. Now if they would have said 12.8 million yen I might have believed them - NOT! lol ...
