Default Re: New Scam - Mutation of Nigeria Scam

here is a scam letter i rec'd:



This is a personal email directed to you and I request
that it should be treated as such. I am Andrew White,
a solicitor at law.

I am the personal attorney/sole executor to the late
Mr. Robert Gartrell,hereinafter referred to as 'my
client' who worked as a independent oil magnate in my
country and who died in a car crash with his immediate
family on the 5th of Nov 2000. Since the death of my
client in Nov, 2000, I have written several letters to
the embassy with intent to locate any of his extended
relatives whom shall be claimants/beneficiaries of his
abandoned personal estate and all such efforts have
been to no avail. More so, I have received official
letters in the last few weeks suggesting a likely
proceeding for confiscation of his abandoned personal
assets in line with existing laws by the bank in which
my client deposited the sum of £9.8Million GBP .

The board of directors of the company now adopted a
resolution and I was mandated to provide his next of
kin for the payment of this money within the next 15
official working days or forfeit the money as an
abandoned fund. The company had planned to invoke the
abandoned property Decree of 1996 to confiscate the
funds after the expiration of the period given to me
but after an investigation in the finance company, I
found out that some members of the company wants to
divert this fund into their private accounts for their
own selfish interest and only want, to use the excuse
that since I am not able to look for some one to make
the claim, the money should be made unserviceable and
that means submitting the fund to the majesty
government of this country and some to the company
management which is not their main intentions.

By virtue of my closeness to the deceased and his
immediate family, I am very much aware of my client's
financial standing. I do sincerely sympathize the
death of my client, but had thought it unprofitable
for his funds to be submitted to the majesty
government of this country and the finance company
where it is lodged. I have reasoned very
professionally and I feel it will be legally proper to
present you as the next of kin of my deceased client
which is legally possible and would be done in
accordance with the laws of the land.

On this note I decided to search for a credible
person and finding that you bear a similar last name,
I was urged to contact you, that I may, with your
consent, present you to the "Trustee" bank as my late
client's surviving family member so as to enable you
put up a claim to the bank in that capacity as a next
of kin of my client, so that the proceeds of This Bank
Account valued at Nine Million Eight Hundred Thousand
British Pounds Sterling only (£9.8Million) can be
paid to you, before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable to the bank where this huge deposit is
lodged. Note that this is legal and 100% risk free
since I have all vital documents that would be
requested by them and that would confer you the legal
right to make this claim. I find this possible for the
main reason that you bear a similar last name with my
client making it a lot easier for you to put up a
claim in that capacity. Therefore, to facilitate the
immediate re profiling of this fund, you need, first
to contact me via my alternative email address
signifying your interest and as soon as I obtain your
confidence, I will immediately intimate you with the
complete details as well as fax you the documents,
with which you are to proceed and I shall direct on
how to put up an application to the bank.

However, you will have to assent to an express
agreement which I will forward to you in order to bind
us in this transaction. Upon the receipt of your
reply, I will send you by Fax or E-mail the next step
to take. I will not fail to bring to your notice that
this proposal is hitch-free and that you should not
entertain any fears as the required arrangements have
been made for the completion of this transfer. I
guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of the law. Please get in touch with me through
my alternative email info_esq_white@yahoo.co.uk for
better confidentiality and send to me your telephone
and fax numbers to enable us discuss further about
this transaction.

Like I said, I require only a solemn
confidentiality on this. Please let me have your
opinion as soon as possible for my contact number is
+44-704-571-6185 and if this proposal is acceptable by
you, do not take undue advantage of the trust I have
bestowed in you, I await your urgent response.
Give me a call at your earliest convenience.

Please get in touch with me through my alternative
email info_esq_white@yahoo.co.uk Sincerely,
Andrew White(Esq).
Phone:+44-704-571-6185
Soliciting Your Concern(Next Of Kin).
