To the list:
The rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated.
How often do you get a chance to use that line?
They say if you wait long enough you'll see everything. The following is an
e-mail sent to my father. The great Nigerian fraud strikes again! (But this
time they need partners.)

P.S. I find the last line of the message particularly amusing. Help stop
spam indeed!

You will be sorry to hear of your own sad demise. My guess is that this is
the usual bunch of con artists in Nigeria.

ATTN:.MR.PETER-H,
Grant me the indulgence of this unsolicited mail to you. I am CHRIS KRUGER a
Attorney-at-aw.I am the personal attorney to Late Mr. MARK-HOOPER,
hereinafter called my client who died intestate(Without A WIll) on 21 st of
March 1998 through an unfortunate car accident involving him , his Wife and
Two Daughters. In virtue of my Office and relationship with my late client,
I am aware that he maintained a special deposit account With a Finance
Company here as front and trustee for a certain senior government official
of one Sister African Country, as I was involved in the syndication of the
Account.
As the last time I was privileged to know, the amount standing to the credit
of the Account is $9.450.000.00(Nine million four hundred and fifty thousand
USD) The Finance company ,Where my client maintained the said special
deposit Account has issued the last forfeiture notice to my office to
produce the Next of Kin to my late Client for purposes of claming the Funds
and servicing the account, otherwise, they will forfeit the money ,since the
Account has remained dormant and unserviceable for 5years.
The essence of contacting you is for you to assist me in claiming the Funds
from the finance company by consenting to my presenting you as the Next of
Kin to my late Client ,since both of you Share the same surname,instead of
forfeiting the money to the capitalist Finance Company. WE shall share the
funds afterwards at an agreed ratio.
My client has no other surving relative as my 4 years investigation has
revealed It will be my responsibility and cost to apply and obtain Letters
Of Administration in your Name From the Probate Registry Appointing you as
The Administrator of the Estate of my late client,Which is the Legal
Authority needed to apply to the Finance company to transfer the account
balance to any other account to be nominated by the Next of Kin where he
decides not to operate the Account. In event you decide to cooperate with me
,please reply me with this private e-mail: (a yahoo address) proposing
terms your cooperation and indicating your private telephone and fax number
for me to contact you.
All I need is your full maximum support and cooperation to enable us achieve
this transaction within 20 working days and I guarantee that this will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of the law. Note this offer is only valid for 5 days from date.If did
not receive your reply within five days, the offer lapses.

CHRIS-KRUGER Esq.
