I love getting these almost as much as I love getting the “Increase by Inches Today” and “Amazing Growth of your Stick” emails. As you all know, I am concerned about the size of my stick. 
What kills me is how people are actually taken advantage by these scams. And I’m sure it’s perfectly legal for the attorney to choose someone to inherit someone’s money if they didn’t state a next-of-kin. Like an inheritance lottery.
“FROM THE OFFICE OF ROBERT CLARKSON.
128 DESTMOND AVENUE KENT LONDON.
I am Barrister Robert Clarkson,a solicitor at law.I have contacted you on a matter of urgent importance,this is after a careful thought that you might be capable of handling this profitable business proposal.On the 24th of April 2004,just a few months after he contracted me as his attorney here in London, My client was involved in a car accident.Unfortunately he lost his life.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money he left behind before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Barclays Bank.The bank where the deceased had an account valued at $10,000,000.00 usd has issued me with a notice to provide the next-of-kin or have the account confiscated soon.My client did not state any next-of-kin in all his official documents with the bank,and I am seeking to present you to the bank as his next-of-kin,your choice is very appropriate because you are a foreigner so it will be easy for me to get the necessary legal documents in your name and present to the bank for the transfer of this deposit to you.
I also want to assure you that this transaction is absolutely risk free as everything will be handled legally by myself as the executor of the Will which also gives me the final authority to present you as the next-of-kin and legal beneficiary to the funds for onward transfer of the funds to you, subsequently to be shared between both of us.
