Subject Matter: Invitation to act as Next-of-Kin
Dear *****,
I presume this letter will come to you as a surprise, but as things
unfold,we will know each other better. I will start by introducing myself to
you. My name is Thomas Cole a solicitor at law.
I am writing in respect of a foreigner Richard Burson ****, who happens
to be my client an oil merchant and contractor who perished in a plane crash
of 31st October 1999[WITH EGYPTIAN AIRLINE 990] with other passengers
aboard.
Since the demise of my client I personally have watched with keen interest
to see the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has come to
claim his funds of US$28.5m(Twenty Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollar) and all the relevant documents in the bank has no
record of any next of kin. On this note, I decided to seek for whom his name
shall be used as his next of kin so I have contacted you to assist in
repatriating most especially, the money left behind by my client before they
get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where the huge
deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the Equity Development Bank Plc where the deceased had an
account valued at about Usd28.5 million dollars has issued me a notice to
provide the Next of kin, or have the account confiscated.
I seek your consent to present you as the Next of kin of the deceased since
I read your profile I know you can assist me as I need somebody who is
trustworthy and willing to assist me get the funds transfered.Whcih the
account which my late client operate is valued at Usd28.5 million dollars
can be paid to you, as my clients Next of Kin, and then we can share the
amount on a mutual agreed percentage.
All legal documents to back up your claim as the deceased Next of Kin will
be provided. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this
deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law and you should
endeavor to keep it confidential.
Please get in touch with me at,thomas606cole@yahoo.com,to enable us discuss
further about this transaction.
Best regards,
Barrister.Thomas Cole

Wow! I am more than interested! in fact I DO think she was a relative of mine! Thomas was a fine lad, I always said he was lucky to be rich because from what I heard from other family members is that he had a penchant for living as, of all things, a women!
And not just any women but from what I understand a sheer knockout. I once saw a picture of 'Tonya' and lets just say I had more than just a little party going on in my pants!!!!
I did not hear about the plane crash and am of course devistated. But nothing a few million will not cure of course! What do I need to do good man?
Sincerely
John "Monica" Richards

I got your mail, I want you to understand the means of getting the funds into your account, so peruse my mail.Thanks for your email and interest in this pending transaction here is the full details of how this transaction will be achieved.
Firstly, I will like to clearly make you understand that legally, you have nothing to worry about as far as this inheritance claim is concerned. As a lawyer with seventeen years of experience I make bold to say with full authority that this business is 100% legal and safe. I hope you have read my first letter to your understanding? It is my desire to go into business relationship with you. But this is based on your professional assistance, willingness, trust sincerity and give out your undivided effort.
Late Richard Burson Richards,is my client and I am his family attorney here in my country where he died with his wife and children. He has deposited the sum of $28.5million in a Finance company call Equity Development Bank of Nig here in my country before he died.
I will provide all the legal documents, like the Deposit Certificate and his Death Certificate.
Further to this I wish to let you understand that I am a man of 52years, married, with four children. But there is one thing I want you to know. I don't want a situation whereby we have started this business you will one day change. Because some times humans change when it comes to dealings with money. I have contacted you because we two can always understand each other. Moreso I want you to know that this transaction must be kept absolutely confidential. I am banking on you not to disclose this business to any body. I want us to go into business relationship, this is why I contacted you. If you are willing to work with me, you must always follow my instructions in order not to make mistakes.
I was the deceased attorney, this legally means that I am mandated to carry out any business dealings on his behalf, as if he was present. I was his attorney for several years until his death. I was his closest confidant as explained above, the deceased had no next of kin to inhenrit the mentioned amount and his entire estate. Being the deceased attorney I am the only person who can confirm to the Finance company the claim of any next of kin, and also advice the Finance company to effect payment to such a beneficiary.
And the reason that you were contacted is because I have read through your profile and I know you can abe able to handle this transaction, and that the deceased migrated from your country down to nigeria. I want you to put in a claim as the next of kin to the deceased.
when I authorize the payment to you, and the money gets into your account, you will take 30%, while I take 60% and 10% for any expenses we may encounter. if you agree with this, then this is how we are going to progress with the business-:
(a). I will provide you with the recent bank statement of the deceased and his death certificate.
(b). You will be required to engage the services of a lawyer, who will professionally act on your behalf, as your attorney. such a lawyer to be hired, must be duly registered in nigeria and practices in nigeria. The attorney will process all the required legal back up documents from the high court of nigeria and forward same to the Finance company with the Finance application form for inheritance claims on your behalf.
(c). When the Finance company receives your claims application, they will immediately draw my attention to it notifying me that someone has put in a claim as the next of kin to the deceased. I will be asked by the Finance company to verify the genuiness of the said claim and recommend to them, what action they should take as regards payment.
(d). The Finance company on the receipt of my confirmation, will now get in touch with you, through your attorney asking that you present them with your banking co-ordinates, so that they can transfer the money into your nominated account.
(e). When the Finance company receives your banking information, they will release the money into your nominated account.
(f). Give me the following information:
1, Your Full Name:
2, Your Address:
3, occupation:
4, Age:
5, Phone Number
The above is a very concise explanation of the entire process of this business transaction. This mentioned process will only take ten banking days to complete from the day that your attorney submits the papers to the Finance company. Now I will only do this business with you on the condition that you will promise to be absolutely honest with me, and that you will respect the confidentiality of this business transaction, and keep it as such.
Again we will have to familiarize ourselves, by providing a picture identity of ourselves, so that we can both know whom we are dealing with business wise. I will need to see your identity, and your postal and residential address. Attached is my client personal picture/ my call to bar certificate with my personal ID.
Forward to me your private mobile number with your country code for easier communication.
Warmest Regards,
Barrister Thomas Cole.

I was perusing your email when I noticed I needed to get the services of an attorney. Now I was not as forward with you before. I must tell you that although old uncle richard and I both loved to cross dress, I am the only one that took it a step further and sold me delectible body on the streets.
Because of that I have had my fill with lawyers. My friend Betrice had a law class when she was in community college. Can I hire her?
Thx "Monica"

Thanks for the email and your prompt response to my mail.
After our telephone conversation, I want you to gothrough this and get back to me.
In regards to your questions, after the death of my client, I and the bank directors has made frantic efforts in trying to locate my client's family or relations because my late client did not made a WILL. We visited his country embassy and we were give some promises that they will try to locate any relative of his, but for the past years nobody has come for claim and I was reliably informed by my insider in the bank that some top directors of the bank are trying to declare the funds unclaimed and after the end of this financial year they will divert the funds(US$28.5million) into their seperate accounts.
So with this information, I was forced to take them to court which lasted for two years before the supreme court here in my country gave me the power to produce any relative of my client because I was his personal lawyer for over fifteen years when he was here in my country.
I was left with no choice than to browse through the internet notifying any Echavarria to come for claim. I must tell you that you don't have any problem because I am a lawyer by profession and with my vast experience and you always following my instructions the funds would be approved through the assistance of a registered practising probate attorney here in my country and getting all the relevant documents to your name and making yoru claim legal. You are not coming down to my country, but you will use the probate attorney who I will give you his contact.
I believe you read my second mail which I explained in details what you need concerning the inheritance claim. First I must confess to you all I need from you is your sincerity and undivided effort in this transaction. what I need from you is that you should go ahead and contact any of the probate attorney, as I have the two certificates with me, but I must get your seriousness in this matter before releasing those documents to you.
As I want you to bear in mind that if you will be willing to work with me, we shall get this funds within the next 6-7 banking working days.
This is what you should do immediately you get this mail.
Like I told you this transaction is 100% risk free and it must go through all the legal authorities involved in stating your new next of kin status as amended in 1969 act of the federal Republic of Nigeria sub section 31 paragraph 4, which states in the cause of death, any next of kin must provide all the needed backup which are the paperwork which must be presented to the Supreme High Court here in Nigeria by a registered practising probate attorney and the cause of death must be determined by presenting the Death Certificate to the Federal Ministry of Health for validation, if their is any money lodged, then the Deposit Certificate must be presented to the bank or finance institute for authentification and verifications of the said funds and if the certificates are legal, then the deceased family will have a representative for the whole family that will be either present or they will be presented by a legal counsel that will represent the family and sign all documents in regards to getting the approval of the funds in their favour.
I am a legal practitioner here in my country and I know all the legal implications if anything goes wrong, one my license will be revoked so I am giving you the assurance that nothing bad will occure as I have perfected this transaction for the past years when I lost my late client and the legal prove of death and deposit of the said funds are with me which goes to show that we have a claim to make through the due processes of this great country.
I will scan the two certificates to you immediately you contact any of the probate attorney below. In order to advance,l have made enquiries as to the best probate attorney whose services you will engage for this transaction.
You should ask the Probate attorney that you want to engage his services, and to know exactly what it will cost us to get the funds transfered.
Please contact the probates experts immediately with the below text:

Play along until you can convince the "honorable" Mr. Cole to meet you at a neutral site. Then set up a location in Europe that would be convienent to one of our ASFN family, (krang or Bach, for example) You can tell him to hold an identifying sign; Dewey, Cheatam, and Howe, would work good; so you are able to recognize him at the meeting place. Have the location partner surreptitiously photograph him then post the picture here.
There is a brilliant example of the scammers being taken for a ride in THE ADVENTURES OF WENDY WILLCOX and her dog Willis. This is a must-see site if you've ever received one of these emails and excellent fun even if you haven't.
Good times!!!
