Here is a new one I recieved the other day...
Dear wolf,
I am Barrister Solomon Ezeego, a Solicitor and the Personal Attorney to Mr Robert wolf,a national of your country, who used to work with shell Development Company here in Nigeria.
On the 6th of May, 2002 it was reported to us that my Client, his wife and their only daughter were involved in a Local Plane Crash at Kano State,enroute Abuja (The Capital City) all occupants in the Plane lost their lives,unfortunately on this same flight were other dignitaries like the Sports Minister and a host of others.

Since then, I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name over the Internet hence i contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money that belong to my client before they get confiscated or declared as unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposit were lodged.
Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about $47.4Million Dollars, has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next ten official working days.
Therefore, I have decided to seek your consent to present you as the'Next Kin' of the deceased since you bear the same last name, so that the proceeds of this account valued at $47.4 Million Dollars can be paid to you.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please get in touch with me strictly via this email:(solomonezeego@myway.com)to enable us discuss further.
Best Regards,
Solomon Ezeego Esq.
(BTW My name is not wolf, its missing a letter.)
