Since then I have made several inquiries 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 have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money that belong to my client before they get 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 $30million dollars has 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 unsuccessful in locating the the relatives, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased,so that the proceeds of this account valued at $30 million dollars can be paid to you 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, I have the certificate of deposit that can be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this dealt through.

I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.

Do send me the details below to proceed with this partnership:

Maybe we ought to send them an email back toying with them? Or renegotiate a different term to split the money and stuff like that.

I got one of those from a Barrister ???/about a supposed relative that had passed away.

I answered back telling him to bring all the money in cash with him and fly into Dulles Airport.

Send me another e-mail letting me know he was there and I would meet him. I told him all that money is mine and I would give him a $50,000 finders fee for expenses and I expected to have all the rest of the millions he mentioned that belonged to my dear uncle or whatever the relationship was. No response.

About a year later I got an urgent -email from him stating he needed to get in contact with me for the original stated transaction of him keeping over 1/2 of the funds. I answered HELL NO, It's mine, I want it all, and my previous message still stood. No response.

I think I got another from him a few months later, but I ignored it that time.

The story is always the same, died in a plane crash.  Can't they get more creative, like eaten by a shark while scuba diving, or parachute failed to open while skydiving?  Maybe it would hold my interest more.

[bigfruits]

dont reply at all even with a stupid reply

phishing attempt. they want that inital contact from you.

[Redlinerobert]

Those letters arent even funny any more.

[zero]

i had scammed a guy who was scammer

it was ugly after i did it

[Fishing Rhino]

Geeze, I forgot about those.  Used to get them in flurries all the time and clicked on the "Report Spam" button without opening them.  The frequency of them appearing in the Email list slowed, then stopped altogether.

Can't remember the last time I got one. 

I may be a hard hearted son of a gun, but someone who jumps at every obvious scam like these should not be in the gene pool.

[SDoolittle]

Maybe we ought to send them an email back toying with them?

Maybe we should send them a virus.

[Raul]

You should not hate them, you should be sorry for them and thank the AllMaighty stupidity causes no pain, if it were so those guys would be in a scream every second of their life.
