Dear Friend,
I know we have not met in person but I have a very profiting proposal which I am sure you can handle. My name is Tony Smith QC. I am a Barrister and a member of the Queen's Council (QC) working with the reputable legal firm - Crown Office Chambers in London-UK and I am only contacting you to help claim deposited funds made by one of our clients who was involved in a fatal auto crash which killed him and his entire family in 2003.
Late Mr. Mark Ravi was a personal client of mine and I managed all his legal affairs. Today, I stand as the only custodian to the deposit he made in a finance company and now I am faced with the task of providing a beneficiary for the fund. The amount in the deposit is $12,000,000 (Twelve Million United States Dollars Only) and the finance house is ready to release the money to whoever I present as the true fund beneficiary and next-of-kin to my late client because my late client issued me a Power of Attorney duly endorsed in the British High Courts of Justice when he made the deposit and I was his legal advising counselor on the deposit and other issues.

Now the finance house where my client deposited the fund demands that I quickly provide a claimant for the fund because the deposit duration has expired and needs a renewal or withdrawal from their company otherwise it will be handed over to the government. Because I have not been able to provide anyone due to my fears of releasing the money to someone who might run away with it, I am being very careful about this. I have however decided to try and do this deal with you whether you are truly related to my client or not and I pray you will not run away with the money when they release it to you. I will arrange to formalize your papers so that you can be approved as next-of-kin to my late client and the fund can be released to you immediately. The courier/security company has agreed to release the fund in cash to the next-of-kin to my late client through their liaison office depending on the area he/she may base. They can pay in these countries;

Europe:-Spain,Holand,France and London etc,Asia:Dubai,Thailand,Taiwan,India,Indonesia and Singapore ,African:-South-Africa,Ghana and Togo,America:-USA,Canada,Brazil,Peru and Mexico etc.
We shall draw an agreement between you and me for security of the fund sharing when it is released to you. I agree to a fifty-fifty sharing but we must bear serious responsibilities on both sides to ensure the release of the fund to you. I want you to note that this is a very serious deal and not a child's play and this time the money must be released because it truly exists in the finance company. If you feel we can sign out the funds together, quickly send me your address, phone and fax and I will call to give you the details of the deal and send you the relevant transaction documents. You may get back to me via my direct email address: barr_tonysmith13@yahoo.com,
Regards,
Tony Smith QC

Now I know this is fake but,where do I send this so I won't be getting more of these stubid e mails they proably think Americans are pretty stubid if we fall for this stuff. Anyelse being botherd by this spam,or e mail from where ever. I remember when these first came out and I dod not no anything about these letters I almost fell for it untill I wacthed dateline about these.

I have gmail and it usually filters out a lot of that stuff. But maybe your email has a way to filter out junk as well. I would just delete it if you recognize the email address. One thing you SHOULDN'T do is reply to it, because apparently when you do that, it tells the sender that your email address is valid. Just delete it as soon as you see it. Better yet, don't even open it; especially if it's always sent with the same address.

This is one of the longest running scams on the internet, I've been online almost 7 years and it probably started before then. The e-mails may vary as far as details are concerned but the motive is always the same and that is to get some poor unsuspecting sucker to follow through with this and hand over vital info which I'm sad to say that many have done and that includes people from all walks of life, young, old, rich, poor etc... so yes, It's always best to delete this crap, mark it as spam or better yet block the sender.

As Charles said, this has been going on now for years. You'll get them from Ethopia and other African countries also. A lot of the scam comes out of Montreal believe it or not.

You just have to ignore them or as he suggested, block if you can, or mark them as spam.

When I was on aol, they got pretty good at eliminating the spam. I'm using another provider now though and my mail all comes in to Outlook. On Outlook, I have to mark each new piece of spam as "junk" mail. Unfortunately, these creeps constantly morph and change the sender info, so you can mark it as junk, but you'll still keep getting others.

It's the prescription drug and hot Russian girls ones that I'm getting fed up with!

Oh, and btw, you'd be smart to put a mail preview on so you can see the junk without having to open it. A lot of them can spread viruses once you even just open the email so avoid that at all cost. Hope this helps.

Thanks

I have three e mail addresses and i get about three or four of those scams a day.

i occasionally get these sent to my email address as well but i just delete it. besides, how do these people find out what our email addresses are?
