Default What credit crunch ?

I've made £12.4 M already today and I've not even left my desk.....Just replied to an email I was lucky enough to be sent. Think I'll tell the boss where he can stick his job, although I'm a little concerned that all this money will be going into Lloyds Bank - not sure they are really in a strong position at the moment - hate them to collapse just as all that money goes into my account - how ironic would that be?

Dear Friend,

Thank you for your response. As stated in my initial mail, this is our fortune and to share, if you give me your full cooperation, we shall be very wealthy in the next 4-5 days. I want you to act as the beneficiary to my late client's funds(£12.4m about $24mUSD) that he left behind.

The Bank does not know that he died along with his next-of-kin, hence I want us to claim the funds before the Bank knows about it. Quickly, I shall amend the WILL documents in your favour as the next-of-kin and beneficiary. I will go to the probate court and obtain a probate letter to back up the will according to the bank requirements. Thereafter, I shall forward it to the Bank(Lloyds TSB Bank Plc) here in Birmingham for the funds to be approved in your favour as the beneficiary.

I have all necessary documents as the Attorney/executor, sealed at the Magistrate Court of West Bromwish here in Birmingham so there is no risk involved. It is very legal, infact there is absolutely nothing to worry about. Recently, the bank has been badgering me to present his next-of-kin. I am glad that I have you. For me to proceed, the following information are required,

1, your full name
2, your age
3, your residential address
4, your direct phone and fax number
5,your ocpution

Without delay, please send me these information to enable the transfer commence immediately. At this point, it is pertinent to let you know clearly that your cooperation and understanding acting as the beneficiary is what is only required from you in this transaction.
I shall handle all it will take to ensure its success in my capacity as the Attorney.

Also, do try and uphold the confidentiality this transaction demands to ensure great success. Once again, I implore you to let us quickly take advantage of this rare opportunity. This is our fortune, we shall be wealthy*in the next few days.

Yours truly

Barr. Phil Haywood

I'm sure if you post the guy your bank details, name, age, address and photographic ID, he'd be only too willing to share his finances with you

That's the sort of greed i've come to expect from the proletariat

You might have £12 million, but you'll never have class.

My brother got one of these scams through the post. He rang me to say that our troubles were over. He didn't talk to me for a while after I told him what the letter said without even seeing it.
