Group Finance Director of Allied Irish Bank Group,

This one was quite interesting, it was addressed to many recipients, the silly scammer forgot to "B" CC yet it is apparently very confidential, so confidential they will CC it to 50 strangers at a time.

This email came to me from Mr John ([email protected]) a few days ago

Hello,

My name is John O'Donnell, I am the Group Finance Director of Allied Irish Bank Group, recently we are conducting a standard process investigation on behalf of "AIB Group", the International Banking conglomerate. I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail private, and respect the integrity of the information you come by as a result of this mail. This investigation involves a business man, who happens to be a native of your country,and also the circumstances surrounding investments made by this client at "AIB Group", the Private Banking arm of Allied Irish Bank.


The client died in testate and nominated no successor in title over the investments made with the bank. I contact you independently of our investigation and no one is informed of this communication. I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you. Since you share similar surname with the late fellow, I am prepared to place you in a position to instruct the firm to release the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation. That is, I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you. I would have gone ahead and transfer the funds secretly to my private offshore account, but that would have drawn a straight line to me and my involvement in claiming the deposit. But on the other hand, you as a foreigner stand a better chance to easily surpass, as the beneficiary with right to claim. I assure you that I could have the deposit released to you within few working days. Upon receipt of the deposit, we shall share the proceeds 50-50 if you sincerely want to be my partner. I will use my position in the bank to back you legally for the claim.


There is a reward for this project and it is a task well worth undertaking. I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is from you refusing to work with me. If my offer is of no appeal to you, delete this message and forget I ever contacted you. Do not destroy my career because you do not approve of my proposal. I am a family man and this is an opportunity to provide them with new opportunities. If you find yourself able to work with me let me know and I will initiate this process towards a swift conclusion. Do not betray my confidence. If we can be of one accord, we should plan a meeting soon.

Kind regards,
John O'Donnell
