Anyone else gotten an email like this? I've not seen anything quite so funny in a long time.
"Dear friend,
I came to know about you in my private search for a
reliable person capable to handle a confidential
matter like this,meanwhile I will not fail to state
that I am sorry for encroaching in your privacy.
I am Barrister Tony Chuck the Head of Trustee and Depository
Institutional Fund Services of My Bank . I am
writing following an Opportunity in my office that
will be of immense benefit to both of us. In my
department we discovered an abandoned sum of
6.5million British Pounds Sterling
(Six Million Five hundred thousand British Pounds) in an
account that belongs to one of our foreign customers
Late Mr. Morris Thompson an American who unfortunately
lost his life in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines
Flight 261 which crashed on January 31 2000, including
his wife and only daughter. You shall read more about
the crash on visiting this site.

and

Since we got information about his death, we have been
expecting his next of kin or relatives to come over
and claim his money because we cannot release it
unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or
relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking
guidelines. Unfortunately, I learnt that his supposed
next of kin being his only daughter died along with
him in the plane crash leaving nobody with the
knowledge of this fund behind for the claim. It is
therefore upon this discovery that I and two other
officials in this department now decided to do
business with you and release the money to you as the
next of kin or beneficiary of the funds for safety
keeping and subsequent disbursement since nobody is
coming for it and we don't want this money to go back
into Government treasury as unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that
such money remained after six years the money will be
transferred into banking treasury as unclaimed funds.
We agreed that 30% of this money will be for you as
foreign partner,while the balance will be for me and
my colleagues.
I will visit your country for the disbursement
according to the percentages indicated above once this
money gets into your account.
Please be honest to me and trust is our watchword in
this transaction.
Note this transaction is confidential and risk free.
As soon as you receive this mail you should contact
me.
Please all necessary arrangement for the smooth
release of these funds to you has been finalized. We
will discuss much in details when I do receive your
response.
Thanks,
Barrister Tony Chuck."
