LARRY IFEM CHAMBERS,
LEGAL PRACTITIONER AND PUBLIC NOTARY &
HIGH COURT REPRESENTATIVE
SUITE 101 ALLEN ROAD, APAPA
LAGOS - NIGERIA.


ATTN Sir/Madam,
It is obvious that this proposal will come to you as a suprise.This is
because we have not met before but I am inspired to sending you this
email by the huge fund transfer opportunity that will be of mutual
benefit to the two of us.

However, I am barrister Larry Ifem, Attorney to the late Engr.Steve
Moore a national of Isle of Man in UK, who used to work with Shell
Petroleum Development Company(SPDC) in Nigeria. On the 11th of
November,1997.My client,his wife And their three children were involved in a car
accident along Sagamu/Lagos Express Road. Unfortunately they all lost their
lives in the event of the accident, Since then
I have made several enquiries to several Embassies to locate any of my
clients extended 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 of no
avail, hence I contacted you.
I contacted you to assist in repartrating the money and property left
behind by my client,I can easily convince the bank with my legal
practice that you are the only surviving relation of my client.

Otherwise the Estate he left behind will be confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were
lodged.Particularly,the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about $27
million U.S dollars(twenty seven million U.S.America dollars).Conseqently,The
bank
issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account
confiscated within the next ten official working days.

Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over
several years now.I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to
the deceased,so that the proceeds of this account valued at $27million
U.S dollars can be paid
to your account and then you and me can share the money. 55% to me and
40% to you,while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your government
may require.All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see
this deal through and
forward the following to me

1,Your Full Name
2,House Address
3,Your Contact Number
4,Your Age and Gender
5,Your Account Number
6,Your Occupation

I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law.Please get in touch
with me by my email to enable us discuss further.

Yours Faithfully,
Barrister Larry Ifem(Esq.)

I wouldnt have gotten past the word ' Nigeria'.................lol

"I can't find any next of kin, so I'm going all the way across the ocean and pulling your name out of my azz."

There are plenty of people in Lagos Nigeria living fat from these scams.

Anytime someone says in an email that we've never met, or anything to that effect I automatically delete it.

Dose anybody know how emails like this even came about? Was there ever something like this that was in fact legitimate and then it just spawned a lot of email scams?

Apparently it's been around in one form or another for 50 years. The internet has just made it more impersonal and remote.

I usually reply that I've already done three and I need to lay low for a bit.

By the way, the title to this thread is meant to be sarcastic. I wasn't about to send anything.
