E-mail: jcopper73@yahoo.co.uk

This is a personal email directed to you and I request that it be treated as such. I am John Copper, a personal attorney/sole executor to the late Engineer Robert M.Heindafter referred to as " my client" I represent the interest of my client who died with his immediate family in a fatal motor accident in East London on November 5, 2002. And I will like to negotiate the terms of investment of resources available to him.

My late client worked as consulting engineer & sub-comptroller with Genesis Oil and Gas Consultants Ltd here in the United Kingdom and had left behind a deposit of 18million British Pounds Sterling (eighteen Million Pounds) with a finance company.

The funds originated from contract transactions he executed in his registered area of business. Just after his death, I was contacted by the Security Finance Company to provide his next of kin, reasons been that his deposit agreement contains a residuary clause giving his personal attorney express authority to nominate the beneficiary to his funds. Unknown to the Security Finance Company, Robert had left no possible trace of any of his close relative with me, making all efforts in my part to locate his family relative to be unfruitful since his death. In addition, from Robert's own story, he was only adopted and his foster parents whom he lost in 1976, according to him had no possible trace of his real family.

The funds had remained unclaimed since his death, but I had made efforts with intent to locate any of his extended relatives whom shall be claimants/beneficiaries of his abandoned personal estate, and all such efforts have been to no avail. More so, I have received official letters in the last few weeks suggesting a likely proceeding for confiscation of his abandoned personal assets in line with existing laws by the security Finance Company. However, it will interest you to know that I discovered that some directors of this finance company are making plans already to have this fund to themselves only to use the excuse that since I am unable to find a next of kin to my late client then the funds should be confiscated, meanwhile their
intentions is to have the funds retrieved for themselves.

I reasoned very professionally and resolved to use a legal means to retrieve the abandoned funds, and that is to present the next of kin of my deceased client to the Security Company. This is legally possible and would be done in accordance with the laws. On this note, I decided to search for a capable fellow, whom I can present to the Security Company as the next of Kin to my client.

I have all vital documents that would confer you the legal right to lay claim to the funds, and it would back up your claim. I am willing to make these documents available to you so that the proceeds valued at £18million Deposited in the Security Finance Company can be paid to you before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable to the Company where this huge amount is lodged.

I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this proposal is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any fears as the required arrangements have been made for the completion of this transfer.
As I said, I require only a solemn confidentiality on this. Please get in touch via my alternative email: jcopper73@yahoo.co.uk

Thanks for your understanding,

Kind Regards,

John Copper.

This is just a small sampling of the hundreds of scam e-mails received each day here at 419baiter.com headquarters.

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, cheap 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.
