So, would you believe, a couple of hours after the funeral the same chap called back. I think that this time he got the message! It was - almost - laughable.

You're absolutely right Hell's Cat - Do not respond! A lot of people get these emails from time to time. The consequences of being taken in by the con has been known to drive people to bankruptcy.

"From the desk of
Bill and exchange manager
BANK OF AFRICA(BOA)
xxxxx.
xxxxxxxx,
xxxxxxx
Dear Friend,
I am the manager, incharge of bill and exchange of the Bank Of Africa
(BOA)
foreign remittance department.There is a business l would want you to
champion for me.In my department l discovered an abandoned sum of US
$30m
(Thirty million united states dollars)In an account that belongs to
one of
our foreign customer mr xxxxxxxx from Brunei.who died along with
his
entire family in Novmber 1999 in an Aeroplane crash in Abidjan coast in
Cote
D'Ivoire. (for more information about this crash and the person,please
visit
this website: http://www.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Since we got information about his death,we have been expecting his
next of
kin to come over and claim his money because we can not release it
unless
somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidelines,but unfortunately we learnt that
all
his supposed next of kin or relation died along side with him in the
plane
crash leaving noone as the right beneficairy to his balance with our
bank.
It is therefore upon this discovery that l decided to make this
business
proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or
relation
to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is
coming for it and we don’t want this money to go into the bank
treasury as
unclaimed fund.
The request of a foreigner as next of kin in this business is
occasioned by
the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe can not
stand as
next of kin to him.l have agreed, that after the smooth conclusion of
the
transaction,that l will make it 60-40 for you considering you as a
foreign
partner,in respect to the provision of a foreign account,There after l
will
visit your country for disbursement according to the percentage
agreed.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you account
as
arranged,you will apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin
of
the deceased,indicating your full name,your private telephone and fax
numbers for easy and effective communication and the location where in
the
money will be remitted.Upon the receipt of your reply, l will send to
you
by EMAIL OR FAX the text of the application.
Be you informed that this transaction is hitch free both now and in the
future you should not entertain any fear whatsoever,as all required
arrangements have been perfected for the transfer.Trusting to hear from
you
immediately.
Yours faithfully
AMUDA LORGU
Bill and exchange manager(BOA).
