This morning in my in box I received the following message:

Dear Mr. Jeckles,

I am Barrister Nelson Wear, a solicitor at law,and the Personal Attorney to Mr.Roland Jeckles, a National of your country, who used to work with Strabag construction Company in Nigeria. On the 21st of April 2002 my client, his wife and their two children’s were involved in a car accident along Sagbama Express Road Lagos, Nigeria. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.

consequently, I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my client’s relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.

I have contacted you to assist in repatrating the money and property left behind by my client before they get confisicated or declared unserviceable by the Citi Bank Plc where the deceased has an account valued at about[18 million Dollars]and the bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin to my late client or have the account confisicated.

Since then I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives of my clients for over 2 years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this account valued at [18 Million Dollars] can be paid to you and then you and l can share the money. 50% for me and 40% for you and 10% will be used for any expenses that this might cost on the process of the transfer. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make.

All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. It is 100% risk-free. Please get in touch with me by my private Email;nelson_chembers2000@yahoo.com

Awaiting to hear from you soon.

Best regards,
Barr Nelson Wear

The thing that really cracks me up is that people fall for this. That’s natural selection at work right there. If your bored today why not send Mr. Nelson an email. Just drop him a line to say and thanks for being such a filthy weasel.
