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.

> I want you to know that there is no risk involved  I have had everything

> approval and letter of probate in your favour for the move of the funds
> to an account that will be provided by you. All that is required from
> you, at this stage is for you to provide me with your Full Names and
> Address, so that the attorney can commence his job.
