This Is Our Last Notice To You. We wish to notify you again that you were listed as a beneficiary to the total sum of US$18,500,000.00 Dollars in the intent of the deceased (name now withheld since this is our second letter to you). We contacted you because you bear the surname identity and therefore can present you as the beneficiary to the inheritance since there is no written will. Our legal services aim to provide our private clients with a complete service. We are happy to prepare Wills, set-up and administer Trusts, carry out the Administration Of Estates and prepare and administer Powers Of Attorney. All the papers will be processed in your acceptance. In your acceptance of this deal, we request that you kindly forward to us your letter of acceptance, your current telephone and fax numbers and a forwarding address to enable us file necessary documents at our high court probate division for the release of this sum of money in your favour. Yours faithfully, Brian Anderson
Methinks Brian Anderson would be a richer fraudster if he could write a bit better.

About Me
- substuff
- Why did I turn out such a pedant? Well you'd have to ask my TV-banning, lentil-baking, library-enforcing, doctor-eschewing, beanbag-sitting, grammar-correcting, homeopathic, 2nd dan black belt, all-round no-nonsense mother. 'Cos me, I got no idea.
I received a similar letter last year supposedly from Singapore but for $30m. There is a lot of this fraud around. I often wonder if anyone falls for it. Needless to say I ignored the letter.
ReplyDeleteI like the bit where they withhold from me the name of the person who has left me all the money. Bless.
ReplyDeleteAmazingly people do fall for this kind of scam. At my place of work it is a frequent occurrence to recieve emails from individuals giving their personal information in response to an email supposedly sent from the firm's address. Someone does a bit of homework though and actually uses the identity of one of my legal 'guvs' and the firm's name which seems to give authentication - the only change is that they use a mobile number. Desperation to make a quick buck appears to cloud good judgment.
