FROM THE DESK OF
BARRISTER FRANK ROBERTSON
SOLICITORS & ADVOCATES
LONDON, U.K.
E-mail: fk.robsn33@rocketmail.com
Attn: Friend,
I write you in good faith, hoping that you will treat this letter as a
desperate search for assistance in a matter that shall benefit both of us.
A random search based on your locality from the Internet produced your
name and address and that of two others in your country.
I am FRANK ROBERTSON an Attorney to a deceased Immigrant property magnate
who was based in the U.K., also referred to as my client. On the 31st of
July 2000, my client, his wife, daughter/husband and their two Children
died in the Air France concord plane crash bound for New York in their
plan for a world cruise, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
Since then I have been managing his properties here in the U.K. and some
others which he put out for sale. The properties which have long been put
out on sale have now been paid for and now the money paid has long been
deposited into his local bank account here. I have contacted you to assist
in repatriating the money and estate left behind by my client before they
get confiscated or declared unserviceable by his bank. Particularly, the
bank has issued me with a notice to provide any of his next of kin or have
the account confiscated within a short period of time. My late client has
an account valued at GBP£21 MILLION POUNDS Only. Since I have been
unsuccessful in locating any of my clients relatives for some time now and
with no one coming forward since my clients passing on, and with the bank
now giving me a deadline, I now seek your consent to present you as the
next of kin to my deceased client, so that the proceeds of his account
valued at GBP£21 MILLION POUNDS can be paid to you. This I intend we share
I have all the necessary information that can be used to back up any Claim
that we may make and I can assure you that you shall be paid this amount
as the next of kin to my late client. All I require is your honest
co-operation to enable us seeing this deal through. I guarantee that this
will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from
any breach of the law.
Trust me as his attorney; this is a risk-free relationship. Please get in
touch with me via email: fk.robsn33@rocketmail.com to enable us discuss
further about this transaction.
Best regards,
Frank Robertson.

Scam Email From Patrick K W Chan Using Gen. Abbas Radhi Ismail Fake Inheritance
Good Day,
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr. Patrick K.W. Chan (Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer) of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have an obscured business suggestion for you.
Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Gen. Abbas Radhi Ismail who was with the Iraqi forces and also businessman made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of (Twenty Four million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only) in my branch. Upon maturity several notices was sent to him, even during the war which began in 2003. Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later find out that the General along with his wife and only daughter had been killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit their home.
After further investigation it was also discovered that Gen. Abbas Radhi Ismail did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, Twenty Four million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration of 5 years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Gen. Abbas Radhi Ismail so that you will be able to receive his funds.
MODALITIES:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall come out successful. I have an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to Gen. Abbas Radhi Ismail, 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. After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also fill in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your favor for the move of the funds to an account that will be provided by you.
There is no risk involved at all in this matter, as we are going adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents. Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue.
Once the funds have been transferred to a nominated bank account we shall then share in the ratio of 70% for me, 30% for you. Should you be interested please send me the following:
1. Full names
2. Private phone/fax
3. Current residential address
and I will prefer you reach me on my private email address below and finally after that I shall provide you with more details of this operation. Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards
Mr. Patrick Chan.

Dear Sir,
My name is Mr. Robert Moore, head of foreign operations of a bank in Europe. A certain client of my bank made a deposit for 12 months valued at $10.2Million and died without a will. All efforts to trace his next of kin has proved abortive, and his funds may soon revert to the government.
My proposition is for you to stand in as the next of kin to the depositor. As stated earlier, he died without making a "WILL" We shall be able to employ the services of an attorney to arrange the transfer of rights and privileges of the deceased to you.
If you are interested, kindly reply immediatelly with the underlisted details:
1. Name and address.
2. Direct Telephone and fax numbers.
3. Age and occupation.
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details.
Best regards,
Barrister Pablo Nimmo Using Filipino Missionary in Fake Email
From email address: "Barrister Pablo Nimmo": barr.nimmo@yahoo.com
Hello Dear Friend ,
I know this may sound ridiculous and unreal, but you must understand that life is all about chance and utilization of opportunities that comes our way. PLEASE DONT BE EMBARASSED NOR OFFENDED BY MY E-MAIL TO YOU. I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT OUT OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE OUT THERE I CHOOSE TO CONTACT YOU. Is obvious we don’t know each other yet, but we don’t know why nature is crossing our path today. Meeting new people in our lives is a never-ending circle. You are like God sent to me today as I type this email for you. You may think this is too good to be real, but I am telling you today that as God lives, this is as real as the air both of us breathe.
Let me start by Formally introducing myself to you. I am Barrister Pablo Nimmo a Legal Practitioner. I am the Attorney representing Rev. Fr. Rufino O. Rufino, My late client was a 78 years Old Filipino Catholic Holy Ghost Reverend Father posted here in Nigeria in the 50's on a Missionary Work; he lived all his life here and owned an NGO which receives Financial Aid (Grant) from the United Nation and other conglomates. He died of Asthma, and since then no one has come forward to claim this fund he deposited in a Bank here, which he intend to use in establishing a foundation for Charity homes and orphanage centers in third world countries as he has been doing secretly.
Also to the issue-Based on my relationship with my client, he informed me of some wonderful ideas he wants to embark on which was to build one or two churches around the third wave countries and Asia and also donate monies to churches, and also to less privilege homes around the globe too with this deposit of US$2.800.000.00m he made through a CODED account in his local bank here in Africa which he gave me the CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT to keep as his lawyer.
THE BANK Chairman and Members of the Board of Directors, started arrangement for the fund to be declared "Unclaimed" and subsequently be donated as trust fund for arms/ ammunition to further enhance the course of War in Africa for their selfish political interest/investment. In order to avert this negative development, I hereby need your cooperation in order to see that the Will of my late client is actualized. I can never achieve this objective without a trustworthy foreigner and this is where you come in.
However, I want to seek your consent to present you as a relative to My deceased client by virtue of Power of attorney. As attorney to the deceased the responsibility to establish your relationship with my client rest on me and to achieve this objective, there are judicial processes involved, which I will brief you on subsequent correspondence if you indicate interest. Also take note that this is 100% risk free and legal.
I am not pursuing this claim for the financial gain. It is a duty I owe to my late client who unfortunately was an orphan with no existing relatives and even as I intend to use part of the funds to establish a foundation in his name; notwithstanding you will be adequately rewarded for your assistance in this endeavor I have decided to offer you 30% of the said funds. Expecting to hear from you as soon as possible, while replying include your direct mobile phone so I can give you a call immediately for further details. Respond to me through my direct priviate email: pn_chambers2005@yahoo.com

I am convinced that it was the grace of God that made me to locate you. my client was a successful and accomplished family man, who made enough fortune before his intimely death. Since then I had made several inquiries through your Embassy to locate any of my clients extended relative but this exercise has proved unsuccessful.
After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives through the Internet, to locate any member of his family not much progress was recorded. My late client was an influential wealthy businessman, an Gold magnet here in South Africa and he left behind a deposit of US$22.5 MILLION (TWENTY TWO MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THUOSAND US DOLLARS). After the death of my client his bankers contacted me, as his Attorney to provide his next of kin who should inherit his fortune.
The board of directors of his bank adopted a resolution and I was mandated to provide his next of kin for the payment of this money within 28 working days or forfeit the money to the bank as an abandoned property. The bankers had planned to invoke the abandoned property decree of 1996 to confiscate the funds after the expiration of the period given to me.
Despairing at the point of exhaustiveness, fortunately, I came across your name, to my utmost amazement , you are nationals of the same country. Convinced that you may be linked with my late client or that you might provide clue to my search, I therefore,decided to contact you with these facts before me because of the situation now . By virtue of my closeness to the deceased and his immediate
family, I am very much aware of my client financial standing and the bank account he operates.
I have reasoned very professionally and I feel it will be legally proper to present you as the next of kin of my deceased client,so that you can be paid the funds left in his bank account, hence I contacted you. I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the Deceased since you are at an advantage as nationals from the same country, so that the proceeds of this Bank Account valued at US$22.5 MILLION (TWENTY TWO MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THUOSAND US DOLLARS), can be paid to you.
We shall both share the funds. 55% to me and 40% to you, while 5% should be for Expenses or Tax as your Government may require, I shall assemble all the necessary Legal Documents that will be used to back up our claim. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us to see this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law.
Please get in touch with me by email to enable us discuss further.
Best Regards
