It may surprise you by receiving this letter from me,since there was no previous
correspondence between us.My name is Barr.Lai Tuck Yew a Malaysian
national and personal Attorney to Late Mr Martins [COLOR=#434343]Chnaider[/COLOR], who was hereinafter
called my client.
My purpose of contacting you is for you to help secure the funds left behind by
my late client, to avoid it being confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Bank.
Where this fund valued ($US 3,600,000.00) Three Million Six Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars deposited by my client before his death.
This Bank has issued me a notice to contact the next of kin or the account will
be declared unserviceable and the fund diverted to the Bank treasury,So far all my
efforts to get a hold of someone related to this man has proved abortive.Hence,I
have contacted you.
I am actually asking for your consent to present you to the Bank as the Next of Kin/
beneficiary of my late client's fund, since you have the same last name,so that the
proceeds of this account can be paid to your account,then we can share the fund on
a mutually agreed,based on percentage.
All the legal documentations to back up your claim as my client's Next of Kin I
shall provide them. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us achieve this
transaction.
The intended transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any infraction of the law.However,if this business proposition offends
your moral ethics,do accept my sincere apology.If on the contrary you wish to achieve
this goal with me kindly get back to me with your interest via this email address for further explanation.
Kindest Regards,
Barr.Lai Tuck Yew
(LLB Hons.)

its a scam, bin it. They are just after your details. As soon as they get hold of your details they can either empty your bank account or will ask you for an administration fee. If they are legitimate, then why all the jargon, why the ifs and buts? No, someone somewhere is wanting to make money and using you
blessed be
take care

I was watching the news last night and there was a sweepstake scam. In order to receive your "winnings" all you have to do is pay the tax. I would think that if you do win something that they subtract the tax from your winnings.

hey there, afraid to say it's a scam, they just want to get your contact details and may ask for your credit card details to do the transaction or even send you a fake cheque in the mail and get you to cash it at your bank, you send the money over to them via western union or moneygram and then the cheque will come back as fake after a few weeks and there never to be seen again, they do it to hundreds if not thousands of people all the time! just don't respiond and delete it because after all it's better to be safe than sorry! i get them all the time, every single day in my email and they actually bore me! stay safe and don't have any contact with them! :)
