HOLY CRAP! I'M RICH!! I WILL SHARE WITH YOU ALL!!!

Post by JPlush76 »

I just got this email, my fortune is as good as gold!
Dear Plush,

I am Barr.Isreal Omovhigo, a solicitor at law. I amthe personal attorney to Mr. Mark Plush,a national of your country, who used to work with shell development company in Nigeria. Here in after shall be referred to as my client. On the 21st of April 1999, my client, his wife And their three children were involved in a car accident along sagbama express road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives.

Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives this hasalso proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the money and property left behind by my client before they get confisicated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged.

Particularly, the STANDARD TRUST BANK PLC where the deceased had an account valued at about 15million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confisicated within the next twenty official working days. since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 2 years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$15m. can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money. 60% to me and 40% to you I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claimwe may make. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through.

I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. please get in touch with me by my email to enable us discussfurther.

Best regards,

Barr.Isreal Omovhigo

And I always thought your lastename was Plush76. I think this must be a mistake. But don't tell him, after all, he might give you the money anyway!

Top-drawer research methods this guy is employing! Why, who'd have thought to just find someone on the internet with the same last name to share $15 mill. with? Kudos, my good man. KUDOS! :wink:

Personally, and maybe I'm just lazy, but I probably would've contacted "shell development company"'s HR dept. But, I'm SURE he thought of that!
