On the 16st of August 2002, my client, his wife And their three children were involved in a car accident along Sagbama express road.

All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since then
I have made several enquiries to his country's embassy to locate any of
my clients extended relatives,this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the money and property left behind by my client before they get confisicated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this! huge deposits were lodged.Particularly,the finance company where the deceased had an account with $10,586,068.00 has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confisicated within the next ten official working days.Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 2 years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this account valued at $10,586,068.00 can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money.70% to me and 30% to you I have made all necessary legal arrangements 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.:

Dear Gini (Cuz)


I would not answer, as it encourages them to then tag you with spy ware et. But, if I was going to reply, this is how I would do it...

Dear Sir's or madam:
I regret to inform you that you have been duped. Every member of our family is a con-artist, without exemption. If the late Heroth Otway, is in fact the Heroth Otway I presume he is (or was) stick a pin in him for me to be sure he is dead. I doubt they were his kids, he often borrowed children for his con games, often resulting in death or disfigurement to said children, and the woman with him was likely his sister not his wife, and stick a pin in her as well. If she yelps, her name is Pinga, (pronounced (ping - ga or some times Ethel-twart-bea-eff-nee-waite) and she is a wonderful canasta player. Ask her if she has my pinkie ring, and tell her if she does not return it, I will kill her dog, Fargo.
If in fact, Heroth is in fact dead, you must bury him very deep, as we Otways smell TERRIBLE after death, due to all the cheep booze we guzzle in life, and our graves are often infested with all sorts of vermin, insects, and huxters trying to make one last dime on our poor assed lives.
Thank you for your misplaced concern,
Avoid us in future
Osckrump and Fyebold Otway (Roisterers and Thieves Inc.)
