Need help to scam this scammer

I am Barrister Uche Wilson, a solicitor at law. I am
the Personal Attorney to Mr. K Byrd, a National of
your country, who used to work with Shell Petroleum
Development Company in Nigeria. Here in after shall be
referred to as my client.

On the 21st April 2000, my client, his wife And their
three children were involved in a car accident along sagamu
express road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there
lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to your
embassy to locate any of his 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 it get
confisicated or declared unservicable by the Eco Bank Nigeria Ltd.,
where he deposited the sum of ($13,700,000,00
u.s.dollars). The said Bank has now issued me a notice
to provide the next of kin or have the account
confisicated within the next fourteen official working
days. For the fact that i have been unsuccessfull in locating
the relatives for over 2 years now, i seek your consent
to present you as the next of kin to the deceased,
since you have the same last name with with him so that
the proceeds of this account can be paid to you,then me
and you can share this money.

I have all necessary information and legal strenght
needed to back you up for 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.Please
get in touch with me by this email
<sharps@mail8.com> to enable us discuss further.

FAITHFULLY YOURS,

BARRISTER UCHE WILSON(ESQ)

You know, these Nigerians *might* be a bit more believable if they learned the correct usage of "their" as opposed to "there", and also learned how to properly spell "repatriate". ;)

all they do is tell you they want your bank account and routing numbers then take any money you have in there.

doubt you will get anything from them.

there is a scan where people have stuff sent to you and your supposed to re-package it and send it to them. i wanna do that one except they aint getting anything that gets sent to me. i just think you can still get in trouble doing that.

Tell him that since its your last name (or better yet, tell him since hes your relative), you deserve 80% of the sum!!! See what he says then!

edit:\ "he" as in "the client" is your relative....

There was a similar thread to this couple of months ago where an ATOT member's coworker was the recipient of one of these emails. The ATOT member posted his coworker's hilarious dialogue with the guy. He got him good :D

I am going to try to negotiate for a better split.

Also, I will generate a bank account with a bogus number.

I will need from him the bank numbers that the funds will be coming from. :evil:

I will provide some information to him tommorrow, all valid, but nothing that he can use for destructive purposes.
