I decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction.
PROPOSITION; I discovered an abandant sum of $15.5M(FIFTEEN MILLION Five Hundred thousand United states Dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire family. Since his death, none of his next-of-kin or relations has come forward to lay claims to this money as the heir. I cannot release the fund from his account unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.
Upon this discovery, I now seek your permission to have you stand as a next of kin to the deceased as all documentations will be carefully worked out by me for the funds $15.5M(FIFTEEN MILLION Five Hundred thousand United states Dollars) to be released in your favour as the beneficiary's next of kin.It may interest you to note that I have secured from the probate an order of madamus to locate any of deceased beneficiaries.

Your share stays with you while the rest shall be for me for investment purposes in your country.If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you.

Spam.

spam That's all...
By the way they want all your personal information for them to make some kind duty bussines with your information so SPAM it don't even try to open it because sometimes they can track your information that easy just in opening your mail.
Yes, just delete it.
Spam and fraud.
Yes. But it is more important to make sure that no one ever falls for it or answers it.
I've had these before. It is spam. Ignore it
Thousands of those are sent every day by scammers. Don't fall for it.
this is not a spam...what is going on here is that some people from Africa are seriously trying to commit fraud.
What they are trying to tell you in the letter is that some one died along with all of that persons family and since that person doesn't have family they want you to act as a long lost relative. In return you'll get 40% and they'll keep 60%. But in reality there is NO money
Don't fall for it because a lot of people have fallen for it.
Basically they are going to tell you to that they are going to give you the money, the 40% of half a million dollars but then they are going to try to charge you a big fee.to send you the money or something like that.
I've seen so many late-night specials covering how people from Africa, especially Nigeria, fooling people into sending money to get even more money.those smart fuckers!
Also what they are trying to do is called CONTRACT SPAM
Yes. It is a scam. Give it a good dose of spam killer.
Folks these guy actually make a decent living preying upon the greedy and stupid.
