Paul Coates: we can make claim of the bank deposit of late Robert

Hello, I am Miss Young. I received the following email. It is a socalled "Advance Fee Fraud" letter, where I am promised millions for my assistance. These stories are all lies, and if I respond, sooner or later I will be asked to pay a fee. If I pay, another fee will quickly come up, and it will continue that way until I give up or run out of money. I will never see the millions, because they never existed.

If you received a similar email, you should go to the homepage to read more about 419 fraud.

Since the death of my client, i have made several inquiries in the United States to locate any of my clients extended relatives, and which efforts have been to no avail, after these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to search-through with his name on the search engine and found you bearing the same last name with my late Client. I have contacted you to solicit your honest assistance in repatriating the deposited fund valued at US$2.4M (Two Million Four hundred thousand US Dollars ) left behind by my client before it gets confiscated or declared U-serviceable by the Birmingham Mid-shires Bank of London where this huge amount were deposited by my Client. The said Bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have his account confiscated within the next twenty one official working days or forfeit the money as abandoned funds since i have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2years. On this note i decided to search for a credible person and finding that you bear a similar last name and i was urged to contact you. I seek the consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased since you have the same last name so as to enable the bank make the payment to you. On receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for transfer. I have all necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up for this claim all i require from you is your honest co-operation to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.

I will appreciate if you are very sure you can assist with this and execute this with the required diligence, take note of the mode of sharing after a second thought, 50% for me and 50% for you. I know there might be other persons out there with the same surname as my late client, but after a little check my instinct tells me to contact you. This is legally possible and would be done in accordance with the laws of the land.If you have gone through this mail and you feel it is acceptable by you, kindly get back to me telling me if you are willing to proceed so that i can provide you with more information and we can go ahead with the claim process.
