Found this in my in box, just had to share....................


RE: NEXT OF KIN

I am MR.SCOTT ADAMS, a Manager of the (name removed)London.

On June 6, 2000, a Consultant with the Exxon Mobil oil company in Malaysia, Mr. Alfred Carlson made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, to the tune of £14,000,000.00(Fourteen Million, Pounds Sterling) in my Branch.

Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, I wrote a reminder and finally I discovered from his employers, Exxon Mobil Corporation that Mr. Alfred Carlson died in an explosion while working on one of their Oil Rigs in Malaysia.


On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL. I therefore made additional investigation and discovered that Mr. Alfred Carlson did not declare an next of kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit papers in our possession.

The sum of £15,000,000.00, which represents Capital and Interest on the
deposit, has been carefully moved out of my bank to a security company for safekeeping. No one will ever come forward to claim it.

According to our Banking Act of 1990, at the expiration of 6 (Six) years, the
money will revert to the ownership of the Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.

I would want you, as a person to stand in as his Next of Kin. You will then be entitled to the deposit. I will prepare all the paper work and necessary
documents involved and as the manager of the branch and custodian of the
deposit. I will ensure that all the documents regarding this Money reflect your name as the next of Kin to Late Mr. Alfred Carlson.

I will share the money with you in the ratio 35:5:60. 35% for your effort 5% for logistics and 60% for me.

I want to assure you that there is virtually no risk involve on you as you will not be made to appear in person and all the paper work will be prepared in your name by me.

TO ACHEIVE THIS:
You will first of all, assure me that you will maintain strict confidentiality on this information and must assure me that you will not make away with the money when it gets into your possession and that no harm will befall me when I join you to invest my share of the money.

Your reply is urgently needed. Upon your response, I shall then furnish you
with more details.
Reply to my confidential email address:xxxxxxxx@yahoo.co.uk

Await your urgent reply.

Best regards

Scott Adams
The red highlighted part could explain the rising oil prices!!

I received them also, Its funny how they say I have the same last name as the person who has passed away and he has MIllions and no Will, Then they say all they want to do is give the money away and they will get thier cut. You know what I say.
