Dear Friend,
Firstly, not to cause you embarrassment, I am Barrister Walter Blackstock, a
Solicitor at law and the personal attorney to named Gerald Welsh who died in an
air crash along with his wife on the 31st October 1999 in an Egyptian airline
boeing 990 with other passengers on board. You can confirm this fact from the
website which was aired by the BBC WORLD NEWS:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm Since his death, none of
his relations or persons have come forward to lay claims to his this funds as
next-of-kin, and on my own i have made concerted effort to locate any of his
relatives but all prove abortive, which makes me to believe that maybe nobody
of his knows that he was operating this foreign account with and Insurance
broking firm here in the UK. Based on the ethics and policies of the Deposit
holding firm, this funds will be declared unclaimed funds and taken to the
treasury of the bank as capital base of the bank, because already the account
has been tagged dormant because it has exceeded the normal functional number of
years.
Inspite of the above please do bear in mind that l have made several enquiries
with his country's embassies to locate any of my clients extended relatives,
this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I
decided to contact you with this business partnership proposal. I have
contacted you to assist in repatriating a huge amount of money left behind by
my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the
Finance/Security Company where these huge deposit was lodged. The deceased had
a deposit valued presently at $30.5million (Thirty Million, Five Hundred
Thousand United State Dollars) and the Company has issued me a notice to
provide his next of kin or Beneficiary by Will otherwise have the account
confiscated within the next sixty official working day’s. Since I have been
unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3years now, I seek your consent
to present you as the next of kin / Will Beneficiary to the deceased so that
the proceeds of this account valued at $30.5 Million US dollars can be paid to
you. This will be disbursed or shared in these percentages, 60% to me and 40%
to you.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we
may make. All I require is your honest Co-operation, Confidentiality and Trust
to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee you that this will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach
of the law. Please get in touch with me urgently by E-mail:
As I am presently in united kingdom. And please provide me the following: This
is to enable me commence immediate preparation of all legal documents that will
back up our claim.
1. Full Names :
2. Your Telephone Number and Fax Number
3. Your Contact Address.
Your urgent response will be highly anticipated and appreciated.

When will this scam ever die? Do many people actually fall for it
and that's why it keeps going, or do the new variations show that
nobody is falling for the old one anymore? Hmm...

All I can say is that I'm sick to death of seeing them in my spam box.
You'd think that people wouldn't fall for it simply because they'd be
suspicious after recieving the same letter with the same claims from
twenty different individuals.
Of course it's also true that the depths of human stupidity are far
from pumbed.

If anything, christ-insanity is an even more blatant scam.
At least the Nigerians don't say: "we'll deposit millions
in your account, but only after you're dead."

Ha! Barristers and Solicitors are two different things, and it is
illegal to belong to both guilds at the same time...

And for a Barrister, Solicitor, and Personal Attorney, he seems to
have lousy grammar...

You don't need many to fall for it, after all, any more than you
needed "many" to fall for Make.Money.Fast.
