Malaysia.
Dear James Levsey,
Bearing in mind the nature of the content of this letter coming from a person without any referral, I apologize for any inconvenience, but please read and objectively consider if we can work together.
I am Mrs. Hayati Yusoff , a legal practitioner with Hayati Yusoff & Co. This involves a foreign client of mine Late Mr. Adams H. Levsey; who died along with his wife and two children on December 2004, in Malaysia . The cause of his death was due to the unfortunate Tsunamis attack which occurred on the 27th December 2004 which took the lives of thousands of every Nationalities, as being documented first page on: http://news.adventist.org/data/2004/11/1104252432/index.html.en
I am contacting you because you have the same surname as my deceased client and I felt that you could help me in the distribution of funding that were left in my deceased client's bank account. This funding is closed to be declared un-serviceable by the bank as there were no indicated next of kin or next of beneficiary of the funding in the bank account.
My client had an investment on fixed deposit of value $12.5USD (Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand (United States Dollars) deposited in a private bank here with no nominated successor in title over this investment. This bank has issued me a notice to contact the next of Kin, or the account will be confiscated and I want you to assist in distributing the money left behind, otherwise it will be sent to the treasury by the bank.
I have already developed a full proof, legal and totally risk free means through which the fund can be released to you within a very short time after due documentation and authentication process. The strategy is to use my position and influence as the lawyer of the deceased to present you as the next of Kin and beneficiary of the deposit so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you.
I want to assure you that I have concluded all local modalities for the successful completion of this within 10 banking days of your agreement to proceed with me as the required assistance are perfected to be safe and without any breach of law.
Please contact me at once to indicate your interest. I will like you to acknowledge the receipt of this e-mail as soon as possible via my private EMAIL: ([email protected]) and treat with absolute confidentiality and sincerity. I look forward to your quick reply.
Best regards,
Barrister Hayati Yusoff Esq.

I have recently received an email reffering to a dead relative who has left me several million dollars. the person who contacted me stated that this connection was made simply based on a similarity of last names. i was of curse highly insulted by this. i am a minor, but i dont need my intelligence tested.
2007-09-10 06:16:43 - anonymous
last week sometime i received an e-mail from a man name "Honourable" geoffrey okoro, saying that he was the solicitor or something like that. He claims that one of relative, or so he says, died in the tsunami at one of the islands, and has left $17000000 (seventeen million dollars) which is still not claimed by the next of kin. he said that seeing that i have the samr last name as the deceased, i'm eligible to claim the money. he said that he only needed my details so that he could forward the details of the transaction. i was a bit suspecious, because i was born and live in south africa, and never ever have i heard of someone in my family named peter mokwatsi, and besides, this sounded too good to be true, so i did not e-mail him any details.
