Dear Friend,

I am Mohamed Hazol,an attorney at law. A deceased client of mine, by name Mr
Adams,who here in after shall be referred to as my client, died as the result
of a heart-related condition on the 11th of November 2004. His heart condition
was due to the death of all the members of his family in the gulf air flight
crashes in Persian gulf near Bahrain aired august 23, 2000 - 2:50 p.m.
I have contacted you to assist in distributing the money left behind by my
client before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank when this
deposit valued at $15.5million dollars is lodged.This bank has issued me a
notice to contact the next of kin, or the fund will be transferred into the
federal government reserve.
My proposition to you is to seek your consent to present you as the next-of-kin
and beneficiary of my late client,so that the proceeds of this account can be
paid to you.Then we can share the amount on a mutually agreed-upon
percentage.All legal documents to back up your claim as my client's next-of-kin
will be provided.All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see the
transaction through.
This will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from
many breach of the law If this business proposition offends your moral values,do
accept my apology.I must use this opportunity to implore you to exercise the
utmost indulgence to keep this matter extraordinary confidential, whatever your
decision,while I await your prompt response.Please contact me at once to
indicate your interest.I will like you to acknowledge the receipt of this e-mail
as soon as possible via email this transaction will be treated private with
absolute confidentiality and sincerity.I look forward to your quick reply.

Best Regards,

Yes, this is a definite scam.

This is basic Advance Fee Fraud--which means that the scammer is promising you a large sum of money--but you will be required to pay fees or bribes to get this money. The "inheritance" doesn't actually exist--in the end the only money to change hands would be yours.

thankyou, i didnt like the idea of being posted has a next of kin of someone i dont even know thought it sounded illegal thankyou
