Another scam from a "Nigerian"

I know damn well it's a scam, but part of my wants to contact this guy and try to get those three million dollars. That's why it works, I'm sure. Somebody out there doesn't know better and that impulse will overwhelm any suspicions.

I put the message in italics to distinguish it from text I wrote.

Dear Blanchard,

I am Barrister micheal morgan, a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to late Mr. Pitt Blanchard, a national of your country, who used to work with one of the oil servicing Company in Nigeria. Here in after shall be referred to as my client.

On the 21st of April 2001, my client, his wife and their only daughter were involved in a car accident along sagbama express road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy here to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.

I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the fund valued at US$3.5million left behind by my client before it gets confisicated or declared unserviceable by the AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK OF NIGERIA (ADB), where this huge amount were deposited. The said BANK has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confisicated within the next fourteen official working days.

For the fact that I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 2 years now, I seek the consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased,since you have the same last name with my client, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you. Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for transfer.

I have all necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up for claim. All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through.

I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.Please get in touch with me through this email address:michealmorganchamber@excite.com

Best regards,

Barrister Micheal Morgan.
