Dear Friend,

I am Mr. T. smith , deputy senior regional

manager at Lloyds TSB Commercial Finance in Yorkshire.I have urgent and

very confidential business proposition for you.

On June 6, 2000, Mr.

Barry Kelly made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for forty-eight

months, (being four years) valued at US$40,000,000.00, (forty Million,

Dollars) in my branch.

Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to

his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a

reminder and finally we discovered from his employers, that Mr. Barry

Kelly died from tsunami on his holidays in Thailand 26 December 2004.

On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a

WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.

I

therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Barry

Kelly did not declare any kin or relations in all his official

documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of

US$40,000,000 has carefully been moved out of my bank to a security

company for safekeeping.

No one will ever come forward to claim it.

According to British Law, at the expiration of (three) years, the money

will revert to the ownership of the British Government if nobody

applies to claim the fund.

Consequently, my proposal is that I will

like you to stand in as the owner of the money I deposited it in a

security company in two trunk boxes though the security company does

not know the contents of the boxes as I tagged them to be photographic

materials for export. I am writing you because I as a public servant

(Manager with the bank), I cannot operate a foreign account or have an

account that is more than $1m.

I want to present you as the owner of

the boxes in the security company so you can be able to claim them with

the help of my attorney. This is simple. I will like you to provide

immediately your full names and address so that the Attorney will

prepare the necessary documents which will put you in place as the as

the owner of the boxes.

The money will be moved out for us to share in

the ratio of 70% for me and 30% for you. There is no risk at all as all

the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the Attorney and

this will guarantees the successful execution of this transaction.

If

you are interested, please reply immediately via my email address upon

your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant

documents that will help you understand the transaction.

Please observe

upmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be

most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance

to invest my share in (Buying of properties like houses, hotels and

doing charity works etc)

Please do send me your private/mobile

telephone fax number so that we can have a smooth communication.

Awaiting your urgent reply ONLY via my email( tsmith752006@yahoo.com.hk )

Thanks and regards.

TONY SMITH

Hi cavanami,

Looks genuine to me.

Especially the bit about moving the money, in cash, to a security company and of course it is a well known fact that the US Dollar is the most commonly used currency in Yorkshire.

I used to have a friend called Tony Smith, but he wasn't a banker.

Last year I mortagaed the farm, 13 goats, and 156 heffers, and sent all the money to a fella in Nigera. He promised me that in return, I would get US 4 million dollars.

 

He stills emails me with promises. The bank took the farm, 12 goats, and the 156 heffers. I ended up with just one goat.

 

But the promises keep coming. I am waiting.
