Please
I am sorry for contacting you unexpectedly without your consent again.I
have emailed you earlier without a response. In my first email I
mentioned about my late client whose relatives I cannot get in touch
with. I am compelled to do this because I would not want the bank to
push my client`s funds into the bank treasury as unclaimed inheritance.
The
Governing Body of the Bank has contacted me on this matter and I am yet
to provide the Next of Kin to lay claims to the Fund.Under a clear
and legitimate agreement with you, I shall seek your consent to
be presented as the next of Kin so that my late Clients\' Fund
will not be
Confiscated by the Bank and pushed into the bank treasury as unclaimed bills.
For
the sake of Transparency on this matter, you are free to make immediate
contact for further clarification and explanation on this matter.I will
need you also to reconfirm your full name and contact telephone number
to ascertain the fact that I am dealing with the right person.
Upon
receipt of your response i will give you the details of this
transaction.Note that this claim is legitimate.You can email me on
brodpeters@hotmail.com
I await your prompt response.
Best Regards,
Broderick Peters (Esq).

It's important to note that
any real people and / or legitimate
organizations whose actual names or other details appear in
these scam e-mails have absolutely no
connection
with this scam!
Scammers never use their real
names.
They frequently take on the identity of real people to help make themselves and their scam appear legitimate.

This is just a small sampling of the
many hundreds of advance fee fraud e-mails received each day here at
419BAITER
headquarters. It is 100% pure B.S. Purity Guaranteed!
There are many different types of 419 scam (examples)
but they all promise you something (fortune, job with salary /
commision,
low-interest loan, lottery prize,
bargain gold dust / diamonds,
work visa, etc.) in return
for a small 'fee' or some kind of remittance. Of course, there is no
fortune, no job, no loan, no prize to be had. It's just a ploy to get
you to
willingly send them money.
If you receive one of these scam mails, simply delete it as you would any other spam mails.
