    Have you guys gotten this before that is tied to your last name? I am 95% sure this is spam but I wanted to check with the smartest BBS on the planet.

    From don williames [don_williames09@hotmail.com]

    Dear LastName,

    I do not know you personally but I am writing you this email base on trust and sincerity of my heart and absolute trust that you will understand this matter and the need of assisting me over this issue As I am a British citizen with a god fearing looking for an honest Person to move along in this matter with all the diligence.

    My name is Mr.Don Williams I was a good friend to Late Mr. Roy J. LastName, a national of your country, who until his death has no wife nor son or daughter to claim his funds hence he died here.

    He was a Contractor and has spent most of his life in my country United Kingdom. Mr.Roy J. LastName were involved in the recent terrorist Bomb blast in London on July 7,2005 and unfortunately he lost his life on the 8th day of July, 2005 at St. George Hospital, London Atlantic Highland, Since then I have made several enquiries to your country Embassy to locate any of my friends extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful hence: he Has no next-of-kin at the time of his death.

    After these several unsuccessful attempts to trace any Member of his immediate family hence I contact you. I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the assets and Capital valued at US$5.5million left behind by my friend before it gets confiscated by the Finance Company where these huge deposits are.

    The said Finance Company in United Kingdom has issued me a notice to provide the next of Kin or have the Treasury bill confiscated since I was the only known and close associate they know.

    Since I have been unsuccessful in my efforts locating any of my friend's relatives for few Months now, I seek your consent to present you as the Next of kin to the deceased since you have a similar name ,so that the proceeds of this treasury bill can be paid to you rather than been confiscated by the Finance Company as the maturity of payment of this fixed amount have come and gone living the money in the custody of the Finance Company without any direction of use this have caused the Finance Company to have an eyebrow since they found out the my late friend is among the victim of the bomb blast that lost his life, I having been living under anxiety and pressure as I know this fund can turn my life around if I can find a sincere partner to team with and have our mind focused in this cause so that have this fund secured and transferred out to your account fast to avoid confiscation by the Finance Company or declaring the money dormant and unserviceable.

    Therefore, on receipt of your positive response and full indication vividly to work with me to actualize this issue, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for claim.

    I have all the necessary information as what to do in this regards for proper commencement of this claim. All I require from you is your honest cooperation to stand firmly and proper confidentiality of this issue to you only to avoid security lapses which can be very anti to this very issue, maturity of the mind is what matters in this case to take your decision like a man whether to embark or not in this than consultation of parties into this issue is not welcomed as I explained thank you.

    I guarantee and vow that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you and me from any breach of the law.Respond through my alternative email address:Don_Williames01@myway.com

    I wait to hear from you soon.

    Best regards,

    Mr. Don Williams

    My advice...you get an e-mail from someone you don't know...hit the delete key. Don't even read it if you don't recognize the sender.

    Travel and banking in West Africa are fatal to imaginary people. Airplane crashes most fatalities overall; Sagbama Express most dangerous road. :D

    Basically any email or letter that offers you money of any kind is a scam. There's just no such thing as free money.
