PRIVATE AND URGENT

From: BANK OF SCOTLAND LONDON BRANCH.

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

PRIVATE AND URGENT.

 

Please do not be offended if I have invaded your privacy. I am MR. JOEL

ROGERS, and I am contacting you on business transfer of a huge sum of

money from a deceased account. Though I know that a transaction of this

magnitude will make anyone apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring

you that all will be well at the end of the day. I decided to contact

you due to the urgency of this transaction.

 

PROPOSITION.

I am the account officer to Mr Selah Adams (deceased) one of our

foreign customers. While he banked with us, I oversaw his accounts and other

official/financial obligations as my office demanded being his accounts

officer. Unfortunately, he died along with his entire family in the

plane crash of 31 October, 1999 on board the Egyptian Airline 990

alongside other passengers. Please consult the Cable News Network(CNN) website

below for verification.

While he was alive, none of his family members was ever known to me

other than his immediate nuclear 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.

 

Having made a very franatic and exhaustive search for any family member

that would lay claim to this fund, I decided to take my chance with

you. I now seek your permission to have you stand as next of kin to the

deceased as I have all documentations including his certified Death

Certificate that will facilitate your stand as next of kin to him as he had

a closing balance of 5,500,000.00lbs (Five Million, Five Hundred

Thousand pounds sterling) here in our bank in London. I also have secured

from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any member of deceased

family to become beneficiary of this fund.

 

Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual

business endeavour by furnishing me with the following, via reply to my

private E-mail :j_rogers@outgun.com

 

1. Beneficiary name and address

2. Direct Telephone and fax numbers

 

These requirements will enable me make some internal re-adjustments and

file your name in form A2ag and other vital forms as next of kin which

before now was left blank by the deceased upon opening of the account

six years ago. Upon your reply, I will advice the way forward. I must

assure you that if you are serious and follow my lead religiously, then

this funds will be released to you within a seven-working-day period.

 

If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of

the trust I have bestowed in you, I await your urgent mail.

 

Please reply to my private E-mail : j_rogers@outgun.com

 

Regards,

Mr. Joel Rogers.

has anyone tried it? I know its a scam but what would hurt to give out phone and address. Everyone can already see those. Just curious. I know eventually they would want a bank account ##, but why not open a new one with a very low balance and give that to them? Have people really gotten owned by this? I have seen thats kind of email many times but never asked and stats about the scam.

Almost every time I get one of these I try to go along with them. They normally want to split the money with you, so I try to get them to give me more and cover all my expenses before I will agree. They normally stop e-mailing me after that.
