So I am sure everyone has received one of these in the past. I wasn’t supprised to see that the spammer is starting to personalize the email to catch more unsuspecting victims. If only I had an uncle named Frank.
Dear Clark
I know definitely,this message might have come to you as a surprise butall the same i have longed to getyour email address, but infact, before now i dont know you but probably your brother Mr.Frank Clark who was my client so i dont know if my client clevely informed you about me before his death..
I am Barr. Calvin Stone, the personal attorney to Mr. Frank Clark, an American, who died along with his family on the 28 NOV 1998 in a plane crash, the aircraft name is Boeing 747-200B (Operator) South African Airways, This crash happened in Mauritius, Indian Ocean in Africa, and the registration number of the aircraft is ZS-SAS. My client had deposited about seven million five hundred thousand US. Dollars (7.5 Million USDollars) in finance house some wherein west Africa, while working with a tourism development centre in West Africa as the head. Since then, there had not been any trace of claim from any person as the fund remains dormant in his account with this bank. Although, I kept this information secret within my jurisdiction to enable me put claims and transfer the said amount through a trustworthy friend overseas whom I shall present to the bank as the bonafide next-of-kin to the deceased for a profitable and successful project. Ever since I have been trying to locat e the next of kin or any of the relatives to come forward and make thisclaim, but to no avail. Right now, the bank is experiencing some internal problems which could lead to failure, and total forfeit of my late client’s deposits. Please, if you are related to my client in any way or you know my client’s actual relatives, and then re-contact me, so that I can link them up to make the claim. But if you cannot contact them, you can come up and make the claim, because I do not want the money to be forfeited, as I expect to benefit from the money also. Please contact me via my alternate emailaddress:stonee_ca@uymail.com My gratitude in anticipation of your urgent response.
