Dear Friend, Please Call Me
 
I am Mr. Julius Nado, residence address at BP 15, Abidjan, Ivory Coast. I am the personal lawyer to late Mrs. Tina, a client of mine, whom has a servicing firm affiliated with the Julius Berger road construction in Cote D'Ivoire.
 
Late Mrs. Tina was awarded a contract worth (US$24,000,000.00) when she was alive and Immediately this contract was signed, an initial amount of (US$11.000, 000.00) was paid to her as mobilization fee to kick off the contract. She duly completed this contract pending when her remaining balance of (US$13,000,000.00) will be paid to her. On 2nd of March 2008, my client, her husband and their four children were involved in a car accident at Cocody, capital city of Ivory Coast. Unfortunately, all the occupants lost their lives.
 
Not too long after her untimely death, her outstanding balance of US$13,000,000.00 was approved and deposited in a Bank here. Right now the funds are still floating unclaimed in the suspense account* of the offshore correspondence payment centre here.
 
I have reasoned very professionally and I feel it will be legally proper to present you as one of the relative of my deceased client, so that you can be paid the remaining balance of her contract funds left in the Bank, hence I contacted you. I am offering you this opportunity by contacting you to assist in repatriating the fund left behind by my late client before they get confiscated or unserviceable by the Bank where this huge deposit were lodged. The Julius Berger road construction issued me a notice as the Attorney to the deceased to provide the Next of Kin or have the Account confiscated in a shot period of time and since then I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over a year that I have been searching.
 
I seek your concept to present you as the Next of Kin or family member to the deceased since you are at an advantage, bearing the same surname, so that the proceeds of this remaining balance of her contract funds valued at (US$13,000,000.00) can be paid to you. We shall both share the funds; 60% for me and 40% for you as we proceed.
 
I have all the necessary Legal Documents that will be used to back up our claim. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this project through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law after the transfer is done.
 
Thanks and have a wonderful day with your family.
Please contacts me  for further details.
 
Best personal regards,
Mr. Julius Nado (Esq.
*In accountancy, a suspense account is an account used temporarily to carry doubtful receipts and disbursements or discrepancies pending their brown townysis and permanent classification.

It can be a repository for monetary transactions (cash receipts, cash disbursements & journal entries) entered with invalid account numbers. The account specified may not exist, or it may be deleted/frozen. If one of these conditions exist, the transaction should be directed to a suspense account.

In branchless banking (BB) - banking through mobile for unbanked - these accounts are used for 'money-in-transit'. For example, sender sends payment from US ACH account to a BB mobile number in Japan. The customer receives an alert on their mobile to withdraw this money from any BB agent. Until they withdraw, the remittance stays in the suspense account, earning the financial institute or the BB enabler float/interest on that money. When customer withdrawal completes, the money moves from suspense account to the agent's account who facilitated the cash withdrawal.

A suspense account is an account in the general ledger in which amounts are temporarily recorded. The suspense account is used because the proper account could not be determined at the time that the transaction was recorded. When the proper account is determined, the amount will be moved from the suspense account to the proper account.

With the amount of people on the Internet, you can type in a random email address and you can almost guarantee that a person will get it.

I already claimed it hah. I put my credit card number in a reply and all of the funds were transferred to a bank account. Now I'm just waiting for the account. . .

I don't get spam very often, but I dug through my inbox and found this:

Ironic because Allergic Rhinitis is a chronic problem that starts from birth-on.

Also, antibiotics wouldn't do stuff, as allergies do not fall into the category of bacterial infection.
