Good day.
My email may sound astonishing to you but please, this is for real.

There is this floating fund which is to the tune of Fourteen Million Seven Hundred Thousand United States Dollars ($14,700,000.00USD) which has been floating in this A/C nє 5005874SB1000 with Chipps Investment National Bank Group London, since 2005, after the death of the true owner of the funds, who bears the same last name with you.

During the bank private search for the relative recently, your name and email contact was among the findings that match. I found out that nobody has ever come on behalf of the late deceased as his next of kin to claim the funds and I have been monitoring this account since I discovered this information.

If you are reliable to execute this transaction with me, then I will instruct you on how to claim as the next of kin to the deceased, so that the funds could be transferred to your overseas A/C, if only you will co-operate with me and not betray me at the end of this transaction.

After the transaction is being successful, I will apply for a visa to your country to collect my own share which is 50% for me and 50% for you. If you are interested in this transaction, please reply me urgently.

I await your soonest response to this matter.
Wilfrid Azor.

i am amazed at some of the comments here..... you dont win anything from a competition to dont enter yourself in too!!!!!

Old saying you must listen too

"if it seems too good to be true, it probaly wont be"

NEVER EVER send you personal infomation to somebody you dont know.

These scams mostly origiante from nigeria and parts of africa. I get at least three a week...
If you really cant help yourself you can always reply with fake infomation and see how far it goes, or tell them your police, they will soon stop bothering you!
