I have long long looked for someone like you.
I am Barrister Keith Harris, solicitor and personal attorney to Mr.David
Hiscock who worked with Shell Petroleum Development Company here in
the U.K, here in after referred to as my client.
On the 21st of April 2002, my client, his wife and their three children
were involved in a car accident along Dublin - Dundalk Ireland express
road and all occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.
Since then, several enquiries to locate any of my clients extended relatives have also
proved abortive. Hence, after these several unsuccessful attempts, I
decided to track his last name over the Internet, to locate any member
of his family hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property
left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the finance firm in Europe where this huge deposit was
lodged.
The finance firm, where the deceased had an account valued at about U.S
$ 6 million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of
kin or have the account confiscated within the next twenty one official
working days. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relativies
for over 2 months now, I seek your consent to present you as the next
of kin of the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at
U.S $6 million dollars can be paid to you and then we both can share the
money,80% to me and 20% to you.This percentage is as a result of
people in chambers that has to also be settled at the end of this
gesture.I think it is alright for me and better than loosing the whole
fund.
I will provide all necessary legal documents that can be used to backup any claim we may make. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this proceeding
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law.
I need to get a little contact of yours' then get to talk with you for
a while and see if you can be the best option for this.
May we have the strenght to follow our days.
Let us give this a shot.

I got one of the letters from the Barrister's also. I got still yet another one you did not mention on this website. It is from someone named Ming Yang who tells of Gen. Aadel Akgaal Bastaan, an Iraqi, who made deposits totalling $24,500,000,000 before the war. But alas he and his wife and daughter were killed by a bomb blast. Of course, he left no next of kin, and according to that country's law, after 3 years the money goes to the government. Ming Yang has it all worked out where he and you can claim the money. 
I just want to know, what are these people after? What are they trying to get out of us? Is it for fun or just to see how many fools there are out there? Someone enlighten me?

"As you know the diplomats have stayed over a month now in your country and the customs will soon break up the boxes and once they find out that it contains cash they will dig to fish out the owner and if this happens you will definitely be in a problem because they will locate you at your address and have you interrogated and probably arressted.
The situation right now is pretty dangerous and precarious.Just imagine that because of only $200 that is remaining one gets a big trouble.
Do something now or never."

This is as bad as getting those dreaded chain letters. What are they getting out of all this?! -- A good laugh, maybe.
