LOL I just received this today lol. I thought they stopped using this one but oh well... I wonder if I should play along....:D

Hello,

I am, Mr Julius Onyesor a consultant to Mr.Kelvin Winter, a canadian
citizen, who lived here in Port-Harcourt.
On the 4th of August 2002, he was involved in a car accident along
Bonni - Eket Highway. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately
lost there lives as they are on a weekend outing to a nearby city.
I contacted you based on trust to assist me in repatriating his money
and property he left behind, before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the Security Company where his huge deposit was
lodged.

Particularly, the deceased has an Amount of $25.5 million dollars,
after my written notification about the death of the deceased to the
security Company they have issued me a notice to provide the next of
kin or have the Funds confiscated within the next 60 days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives all this
while, that's why I seek your consent to assert you as the next of kin
of the deceased, so that the proceeds of this Amount valued at $25.5m
million dollars can be paid to you as the bonafide approved Next of
Kin by the security Company.
If you agree the money will be shared in a ratio of 75% for me while
20% for you and 5% will set aside for any expenses incured during the
transfer process.I have all necessary documents to back up the facts
and claim on the Fund Release.

All I require is your honest, co-operation and Sincerity to enable us
seeing that this funds is paid to you.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law.
please if you are willing to assist me in this transaction,please do
send to me the following,full names and address telephone and fax
numbers so that i will contact you and notify you on the next steps
towards the actualization of this transaction.
Awaiting your urgent response.

regards,

Mr Julius Onyesor
