I love the commercials where they have a guy in the dinner and some guy come up and offers him a deal like this "if you help me cash check in America you will get a % as a thanks".. .and the voice over says "they just don't sound as good in real life.

[mom_i_am]

I haven't seen that one, but I don't watch alot of tv either. Does the guy in the commercial have an accent?

Hello,



Please do not be surprised on receiving this email. Though we might not have a personal relationship or have met each other, we could work together on this project I am about to introduce to you. First, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Michael Finucane. Certain funds have been left behind by my late client, below are the details.



Being that she was my client, I was her confidant as she shared with me virtually everything about her business and family. I was her lawyer and adviser for 15years and during that period I wrote her WILL and was also named as the executor. I am also aware due to our cordial relationship that she deposited Twenty Two Million Pounds with a bank in England that was not mentioned in her WILL. She told me about it and asked me to prepare a codicil to reflect the money. However before this could be completed, she died.



After her death, funeral and subsequent execution of her WILL, I went into action to establish the information passed unto me by my client. My findings agreed with the information. At that point, I knew I had to do something to move the funds out of the bank. Bearing at the back of my mind that I cannot do this alone, I have decided to contact you and seek your assistance and acceptance to be the next of kin to the estate.



Aside my humble self and you, the relationship manager (Account Officer) of my client knows about this. He was very helpful during my investigation. Through him I was able to see the deposit paper work of the money that confirmed that there is no next of kin to the funds. It is necessary for us to move the money out of the bank on time before it will be regarded as sundry funds, which would give the bank the right to claim the money.



I cannot move the money in my name because she was my client and it could create suspicion. Her account officer also cannot do the same, hence the importance of your assistance. Have my assurance that there is nothing to fear about, as we also need your assurance that you would work with me with a high degree of honesty and sincererity to achieve our desired objective. The legal procedure is no problem for I would be responsible. Since the codicil was not ready before her death, a letter of administration without WILL would be secured from the probate office. With this letter I would personally apply on your behalf to the Bank for the release of the funds to you.



Below is required from you to enable us achieve the above;



Name:

Gender:

Date of Birth:

Address:

Country:

Telephone and Fax Numbers:



Upon receipt of a confirmation of acceptance from you, a sharing ratio would be worked out between the three of us and communicated to you along with my telephone number.



Thanking you in anticipation of your co-operation.



Sincerely,



Michael Finucane

It makes you wonder how many people actually buy into these and get taken for everything. Even 1 a year is way to many.
