    Hello,

    We wish to notify you again that you were listed as Heir to the total sum of Ten Million British Pounds
    in the codicil and last testament of our deceased client. Name now withheld since this is our second letter to
    you. (The first contact was by e-mail; which we assume you may have ignored, thinking it was a spam/hoax)

    We are reaching you the second time because you bear the same last name as our client, and her instruction
    stipulates that this fund should be paid directly to you upon death, it does not matter if this individual is related to you, but what matter is that with your name, you can claim this fund, through our supportive documents as legal pratitioners

    If you receive this notice, we request you to kindly acknowledge officially, enabling us file in all necessary
    legal documents to the inheritance claims consultants for the urgent application/release of your inheritance.

    Please call urgently and send immediately an acknowledgement email once you received this letter:
    reeds.xxxxxxxxxxxxcom by re-confirming your full names, phone, fax number and addresse to enable us process your claim.

    inheritance.

    Yours Truly,

    I like the following extract from the Consumer Fraud Report

    "There appear to be more dead diplomats and living barristers in Africa with millions of dollars, gold and diamonds stuck in secret bank accounts and boxes than... well, starving Africans. And there is no shortage of them."

          Yay! I have a dormant treasure box!


          Good Day,

          I am Carlton Broderick of the First National securities & Finn. London. I
          seek your assistance in clearing a Treasure Box containing a sum of Thirty
          Seven Million, Eight Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (37.8MUSD)
          which has been dormant in our vaults in the last four years.

          The said box was deposited by a foreign customer who has lost contact with
          us. Going by the usual statutory rules governing our operation, the box
          shall be handed over to the relevant government authorities as an
          unclaimed deposit within the next two months, if nobody comes to claim it.

          This is my reason for contacting you to partner with me in getting this
          money out of here for our mutual benefit. Details shall be made available
          to you as soon as I hear from you. Thanks & God Bless!

          Regards,
          Carlton Broderick.
