Subject: INHERITANCE of $23.5 Million Dollars
Dear Friend,
It is with trust and sincerity that I approach you for assistance to transfer some funds into your bank account. Please do accept my apology if my mail infringes on your personal ethics. My name is Greg Osborn , a Private attorney based here in Johannesburg, Republic of South Africa. Honestly it will be my humble pleasure if we can work together.
I would like you to act as the next of kin to my deceased client Mr. Glenn Warrington, a US citizen who made a deposit of $23,500,000.00 ($23.5 Million Dollars) with a Bank here in Johannesburg. He died in car accident on the 20th of November 2009 without any registered next of kin. Several efforts were made to find his extended family through their embassy without success.
I have received official letter from the bank suggesting a likely proceeding for confiscation of the Fund in line with existing laws by the bank in which my client deposited the sum of $23.5 Million Dollars. According to the Government Law here, at the expiration of 10 years the fund will revert to the ownership of the South African Government, if nobody applies to claim the fund.
My proposition to you is to present you to the bank as the Next of kin to my late client so that the bank will pay this $23.5 Million Dollars to you as his beneficiary so that we can share the amount on a mutually agreed percentage of 60% for me 40% for you.
All legal documents to back up your claim will be provided by me. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through. I will also guarantee you that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law here or in your country.
If you are interested in this transactions, Please do contact me so that I can give you comprehensive details on how to proceed. Your immediate response will be highly appreciated.
Regards

Similar email message above was received on my email on the 09th of June. I don’t know whether to trust or not but did not respond to date
The above Email was sent to thousands of people using addresses that were scraped from the net by a rogue bot. Do not trust it.
Similar Emails will be scams – If you are fooled, you will find yourself paying out a few hundred dollars “advance fees” to cover admin costs etc. But you will never get any money.
