Default I'm Rich!

Don't know where I'm going to spend all the cash!

I am Johnson Tang, an attorney at law. A deceased client of mine has bequeathed you as His Heir, who died as a result of Heart-Related problem due to the

death of all the members of his family in the Gulf Air Flight Crashes in Persian Gulf near Bahrain Aired August 23, 2000 - 2:50 p.m. ET as reported on:
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIP.../23/bn.08.html.


I understand that through Internet is not the best way to link up with you because of the confidentiality which my proposal demands.

However, I have already sent you this same letter one month ago, but I am not sure if it did get to you since I have not heard from you, hence i am constrain

to reach you through the Internet which has been abused over the years.


I'm contacting you as the Heir to approve the release of the money left behind by my client before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank

where this deposit valued at Eighteen million dollars (US$18 million dollars)is lodged. This bank has issued me a notice to contact you (Heir), or the

account will be confiscated.

My proposition to you is to seek your consent and approval as the Heir and beneficiary of my late client, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to

you as His Heir. All legal documents to back up your claim as my client's Heir will be provided. All I require is your approval about this and your honest

cooperation to enable us see this transaction through.

This will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. If this mail proposition offends your moral values, do

accept my apology. I must use this opportunity to implore you to exercise the utmost indulgence to keep this matter extraordinary confidential, whatever your

decision is, while I await your prompt response. Please contact me at once to indicate your approval. I will like you to acknowledge the receipt of this e-

mail as soon as possible via my private EMAILbarr.johnsontang@yahoo.com.hk) and treat with absolute confidentiality and sincerity.

I look forward to your quick reply.


Best regards,
Barrister Johnson Tang.

It's bad enough that my spam box is filled with this crap. Do we have to repost it here.

I have maybe 30 unique ones. Should I post those?

I wouldn't post them because then all of you guys would be trying to claim my fabulous prizes and inheritances.

Default Re: I'm Rich!

Funny thing is I'm the lawyers secretary, and he informed me to contact you here. As the deceased party was a huge Cigar aficionado. Not only will you be compensated with $18 million but also with his collection of cigars. Some of the finest CC's and NC's available dating back to as far as the early 1900's. The total value of all cigars are estimated to be around $10 million. As I'm sure you can understand time is of the essence so please just forward all information to me here. You don't even have to PM it just post in this thread. Name, Address, SSN, Medical Records, Dental Records, Carfax history report, 3rd grade report card, and the names of all the women you dated since you were 7.

But do you know how many idiots actually believe this crap. Mostly the elderly which I don't think George is quite yet. I feel bad for the ones that get scammed but c'mon people free money = scam. I usually see something like this once a week or more.
