[codhead]

This came from "annwilliams055@hotmail.com" (if anyone wants to have

some fun):

From:Ms.Ann Williams

575 Finchley Road

London Nw3 7BJ,U.K.

United Kingdom.

PROPOSITION:

My name is Ann Williamsr.I am a friend and a personal councellor to a former

credit manager and then the account officer of a foreigner named Gerard

St.Germain who died in an air crash along with his wife on the 31st October

2001 in an Egyptian airline 990,with other passengers on board.You can

confirm this from the website below.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm

My friend resigned from the bank months ago because of internal family

problems,but before his resignaton he was managing the deposit account of

the late Gerard St Germain were he had access to some vital information as

to how the funds will be paid to the next of kin.Since his death, none of

his next-of-kin is alive to make claims for this money as his heir,because

they all died in the same accident, him and the wife,Yvette St.Germain (May

their soul rest in peace).The bank cannot release the funds from his account

unless someone applies for the claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as

indicated in their banking guidelines.

Upon this discovery, my friend asked me to look for a reliable person to

stand as the next of kin because he can not handle this directly since he

has worked in the bank, I now seek your permission to have you stand as a

next of kin to the deceased,as all documentations will be carefully worked

out by me and my friend for the funds valued (US$15,000,000.00)to be

released in your favour as the beneficiary's next of kin. After four years

the bank is permitted by law of UK to send the money to the treasury as

unclaimed bills and the money shared amongst the directors of the bank.

It is on this basis,that my friend asked me to seek for whom shall be used

as the next of kin/beneficiary to this funds rather than allow the bank

directors to share this money amongst themselves at the end of the year.

Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance to this noble offer

by furnishing me with the following information if you are interested.

1.Beneficiary name and address in order for me to to get a probate for the

transfer of the funds in your name.

2. Direct Telephone and fax numbers.For our personal contact and mutual

discussion.

Upon your acceptance, I shall give you my direct telephone number so that we

can discuss freely.We shall be compensating you with four million

dollars(US$4Million Dollars) on final conclusion of this project for your

assistance,US$1Million Dollars shall be for any unforssen expenses,while the

remaining US$10 Million will be shared between me and my friend.

If this proposal is acceptable by you, please endeavor to contact me

immediately,if not please disregard this email.

Regards,

Ms.Ann Williams

Never ever Ever respond to these guys with an email address you want to keep. They swap email addresses with their scumbag friends and there is a very real possibility that you will be swamped with this junk in short order! A guy here at work replied from his work email and we had to do away with his email account and assign him a new one!

Install a spam filter. I get several of these scams every single day, out of perhaps 100 spam messages per day.
