Well not for a guy named Jikuaq Biktaungitok from waaaay up north ... that was my name in that one lol. I've been Aha Mohamood Osamum, Barry D Hatchett, Rick Shaw, and Gene Poole ... and others.. The funny part is, some of these foreigners don't speak English that well and don't get the names. You can use anything.

To bad they didn't ask to go to Nigeria, meet you at the airport but you didn't show because you missed the dog sled train at Yellowknife.

Woo hoo I'm rich! Just got this email, man am I lucky or what!
Poor Robert Smith though, damn shame!

Dear Sir/Madam

I take the liberty of writing you this very confidential mail. I implore you to give it your maximum attention as the contents are in absolute good faith.

For avoidance of doubts, my name is Barrister Joseph Koni, I am a full time practicing lawyer registered with the Togolese Bar Association as well as a Member of African Independent Financial Advisors.

y purpose of writing you this confidential mail is hinged on the fact that; I was personal attorney to Mr.ROBERT SMITH, nationality of your country. Precisely on December 30th, 2006, while returning from Accra Ghana after a weekend holiday at Labadi beach Hotel, my client and members of his family (wife and daughter) died in ghastly motor accident by running into a stationery Trailer without warning sign along the Togo/Ghana Express way.

After his death with members of his family,due process was followed to alert members of the public and any relation of his through Electronic Media Obituary Announcement both in the local television station here in Togo and Ghana. Also I took personal steps to announce his death through internet advert but yet up till this moment of writing no surviving relation of my said client ever came forward.

Right now his Bankers has written me requesting me to contact any serving relation of his for the purpose of transferring his estate in the sum of 10.2 million Us Dollars.Due to the pressure from the Bank I decided to present you as the next of kin to my said deceased client and to further ask your hand of co-operation under utmost confidentiality to claim the outstanding sum by presenting you as the Next of Kin of my late client.

Needless to reassure you that as a Lawyer and personal attorney to my late client, all the necessary information and documents that will sufficiently prove to the officials of the Bank that you are the next of Kin to the deceased shall be obtained legally from the probate section of the High Court.

I would therefore request you to give this letter serious thought and get back to me urgently .Reply only at my private email: l_n1981 @ hotmail.com

Regards.
Joseph Koni
Attorney at Law (SAT)

Whatcha gunna do with all that money!!??
The thing about those scams is if they didn't work at least some of the time, they wouldn't continue to do it. I responded to one of those and led them along a merry little chase. Googled an international bank and gave them a made up account number and password. Even emailed a copy of my California drivers license so the could check me out LOL. I hope I drove them crazy.
