Dear Beloved Attention

From:  MR. GREG BERMAN webtrust@zmail.com via yahoo.com
Reply to:  gregberman232@gmail.com


Good Day,

I am sending you this mail in good faith. I'm Mr. Greg Berman, a British citizen currently undergoing medical treatment for cancer. I want to donate the sum of £10 Million Pounds to you for the good work of god, I have an account with a financial institution in Europe where i deposited my assets worth £10 Million for a fixed period, i have just been informed by my doctor that I only have few months to live due to cancer illness and i am about to end the race like this without a child. Having known my condition I have decided to nominate you as my beneficiary. My desire and purpose is for you to promote humanitarian works. I.e. assisting the less privileged.Please contact me for more details on this noble project of mine.

Regards,
Mr. Greg Berman

This scammer's  noble project isn't helping the underprivileged.  It's stealing hard-earned money from people who truly want to help.  If you want to help the underprivileged, volunteer at a local shelter or food bank, or donate goods to a local charity.  There IS no $10M, and there is NO Greg Berman.  Besides...it really irks me when they try to use cancer as a help in this.  I'm the offspring of a 3-time cancer survivor.  Bite me, you idiot.  ~BlueDragonfly

Kindly Contact my lawyer

Greetings

My name is Mrs. Yani Ajita Tan. C.E.O of OceanYaniSeafood LTD. I am a dying woman who had decided to donate what I have to you. I am 62 years old and was diagnosed for cancer about 2 years ago, immediately after the death of my Husband, who left me everything he worked for. I have been touched to donate from what I have inherited from my late husband to you for the good work of Humanity, rather than allowing my relatives to use my Husband's hard earned funds recklessly.

I will be going in for an operation, and I pray that I survive. I have decided to Will/donate the sum of $10,500,000.00. (Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars) to you for the good work of Humanity, and to help the motherless, Less Privileged and also for the assistance of the widows. At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls, due to the fact that my relatives are around me and I have been restricted by my doctor from taking telephone calls because I deserve all the rest I can get. Presently, I have informed my lawyer about my decision in WILLING these funds to you. I wish you all the best and May you be blessed abundantly and please use the funds well and always extend the good work to others.

Kindly Contact my lawyer through his email address or you can call his private Lin: +855 1171 8053 (barristerrichardvanlee@mail.
mn). If you are interested in carrying out this task, so that he can arrange the release of the funds ($10,500,000.00) to you. My lawyer's name is Barrister Richard Van Lee. I know I have never met you but my mind tells me to do this, and I hope you act sincerely.

NB: I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the task is accomplished, as I don't want anything that will jeopardize my last wish, due to the fact that I do not want relatives or family members standing in the way of my last wish.

Thank you and remain Blessed.
 
Mrs. Yani Ajita Tan
 
Another classic scam here...dying woman wants to will millions to me so that I can do charity work with it...and of course, keep some.  And, imagine that, she's going to have an operation (and I'll wager she dies), and I can only contact her lawyer.  There is NO sick woman, no millions of dollars, and in typical scam fashion, I'll have to pay the lawyer thousands to get "my money," which doesn't exist.  A stranger isn't going to will you millions of dollars, no matter how sincere the email seems.  Look for the signs - mismatched email addresses, why you can't ever contact her directly, and poorly written pleas like this one.  Remember...if it sounds too good to be true...

Dear Beneficiary,

This is a personal email directed to you and I request that it be treated as such. I am Brian Walker, a personal attorney/sole executor to the late Engineer Robert here in after referred to as" my client" I represent the interest of my client killed with his immediate family in a fatal motor accident in East London on November 5, 2002. and I will like to negotiate the terms of investment of resources available to him.  (You will like to, huh?)

My late client worked as consulting engineer & sub-controller with Genesis Oil and Gas Consultants Ltd here in the United Kingdom and had left behind a deposit of Six Million Eight Hundred Thousand British Pounds Sterling only (6.8million Great British Pounds) GBP with a finance company. The funds originated from contract transactions he executed in his registered area of business. Just after his death, I was contacted by the finance house to provide his next of kin, reasons been that his deposit agreement contains a residuary clause giving his personal attorney express authority to nominate the beneficiary to his funds. Unknown to the bank, Robert had left no possible trace of any of his close relative with me, making all efforts in my part to locate his family relative to be unfruitful since his death. In addition, from Roberts own story, he was only adopted and his foster parents whom he lost in 1976, according to him had no possible trace of his relatives  (So, you're British, and you can't write using proper English?  I'm convinced...NOT.)

The funds had remained unclaimed since his death, but I had made efforts with intent to locate any of his extended relatives whom shall be claimants/beneficiaries of his abandoned personal estate, and all such efforts have been to no avail. More so, I have received official letters in the last few weeks suggesting a likely proceeding for confiscation of his abandoned personal assets in line with existing laws by the bank However, it will interest you to know that I discovered that some directors of this finance company are making plans already to have this fund to themselves only to use the excuse that since I am unable to find a next of kin to my late client then the funds should be confiscated, meanwhile their intentions is to have the funds retrieved for themselves.

I reasoned very professionally and resolved to use a legal means to retrieve the abandoned funds, and that is to present the next of kin of my deceased client to the bank. This is legally possible and would be done in accordance with the laws. On this note, I decided to search for a credible person and finding that you bear a similar last name, I was urged to contact you, that I may, with your consent, present you to the "trustee" bank as my late client's surviving family member so as to enable you put up a claim to the bank in that capacity as a next of kin of my client. I find this to be possible for the fuller reasons that you are of the same nationality and you bear a similar last name with my late client making it a lot easier for you to put up a claim in that capacity. I have all vital documents that would confer you the legal right to lay claim to the funds, and it would back up your claim. I am willing to make these documents available to you so  I do sincerely sympathize the death of my client.

I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this proposal is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any fears as the required arrangements have been made for the completion of this transfer. As I said, I require only a solemn confidentiality on this. Please get in touch via my email: walkerbesq@fromru.com  for more detail, my Contact number is +44-702-405-0389 (Calling me should not be any problem all you need to do is to dial your country code before dialling my number Tel: +44-702-405-0389, If this proposal is acceptable by you and do not take undue advantage of the trust I bestowed on you.  (Sure...because you sound so honest, and so very British?)

For better confidentiality and if okay then you can send to me your Details to enable us proceed for the claim, Your details required as follows:

Name:
Address:
Age:
Occupation:
Phone:
Email:

Once more, all this vital information will enable us proceed without any further doubt and do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you,

Kind Regards.

Soliciting Your Concern(Next Of Kin) 

Another classic example of the "my client died and I want you to have his money so I can have some of it too" scam.  I've said it before, and I'll say it again...if it sounds too good to be true...
