Re: Let me know pls.

This is concrete proof as to why you should never respond to a spammer. This Spammy Sammy, in his bad grammar/pidgin English was begging his "undisclosed recipients" to let him know if "his mail came through to us." I replied, out of curiosity, and asked him who he was and why he sent the e-mail. This was my answer. Please pay close attention, and learn from this--good ecample of what not to do.

Please pay attention and this is confidential, on the 6th of May 2002, my client, his wife and their three children were all involved in a car accident along Sagamu Express Road and all occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several inquiries to locate any of my clients extended relatives,this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts to locate any member of his family but of no avail,hence I have contacted you since you are a foreigner and you bear the same last name with my client. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money that belong to my client before they get confiscated or declared un-serviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged. The deceased had an account valued at about eight million four hundred thousand united states dollars. The bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next 14 official working days, also this transaction is between you and me know one must know about it and i repeat no one must know about it till funds gets to you, so you must keep it to your self. Let me get the following information now so that I will start the process of claim in your name and favor. I will also send you a scan copy of the deposit certificate and my own picture once I get your reply but remember that this whole transaction must be treated as a confidential transaction till funds gets to you so as to avoid sabotage of any kind. 1).

Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3 years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you are a foreigner, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money. 50% to me and 50% to you .Let us do this.
