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.

Hello Friend,

I am Barrister Mike Bello, a Solicitor, and the Personal Attorney to GEORGE BRUMLEY Jr,a foreign client who died along with his entire family in a plane crash that happened in Kenya, East Africa. Since I got information about his death, I have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because the bank where his money were lodged cannot release it unless some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines and laws but unfortunately i learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.

Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet, to locate any member of his family but of no avail, hence I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money that belong to my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged.

Please I want you to visit the website below for more information about the Plane Crash:-

Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about 10 million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next ten official working days. Since i have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for almost 2 years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you are a foreigner and bear foreign name, so that the proceeds of this account valued at $10 million dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money. 55% to me and 40% to you,while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your government may require,I have the certificate of deposit that can be used to back up any claim we 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 discuss further. I WILL OBTAIN AFFIDAVIT FROM COURT WHEN YOU RESPOND TO ME. MEANWHILE RESPOND TO ME THROUGH MY ALTERNATIVE E/MAIL ADDRESS BELOW:-

Best regards,

Mike Bello (Esq.)
