Please kindly accept my apology for sending unsolicited mail to you I believe you are a highly respected personality considering the fact that I sourced your profile from a human resource profile database of your country.

Well, I am Barrister Mike Billy, a Solicitor. I am the Personal Attorney to Mr ANDREAS SCHRANNER Who Died With his Family in a Plane Crash in the month of July 2000.

See the Weblink for details: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm

Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my client's relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet to locate any member of his family but to no avail, hence, I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my client in a security company in bangkok thailand, Particularly, the Security company where the deceased deposited the sum of US$ 25,000,000.00 ( twenty five million united state dollars only).

Consequently, this security company issued me a notice to provide the Next of Kin to claim the US$ 25,000,000.00 ( twenty five million united state dollars only in their custody within the next twenty official working days. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 7 years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased to claim the fund as the Next of Kin to him so that the fund will be released to you by the security company.

Upon receipt of the fund, I will come over to your country to meet with you for the disbursement of the fund and then you and I will share the money in this order: 60% will be for me, 40% will be for you. I have all the necessary legal documents that can back our claim we will make with the security company.

All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.

kindly send me the following information

1) Your full name
2) Address
3) Telephone number
4) Occupation
5) Age

upon receipt of this requested information, i will file an applicaton of claim on your name to the security company presenting you as the next of kin to the deceased and as such the beneficiary of the fund.

You are needed as a next of kin to inherit the late deceased left fund.

For more information, please kindly contact me through my email barrister_mike_billy@myway.com above to enables us discuss further.

Best regards .

This is just a small sampling of the many 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.
