      Another SCAM ALERT - thankfully from an IDIOT! 
  Interesting to know that the scammers are targeting people's names now - I recieved the beauty below directly addressed to me.
 
 But the idiot got the surnames mixed up anyways.
 
 FROM THE DESK OF BARRISTER FRANK SMITH
 PRINCIPAL ATTORNEY OF GARRY CHAMBERS 
 35 EWU AVENUE,OSHODI-APAPA EXPRESSWAY 
 LAGOS NIGERIA. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Dear , 
 
 
 I am Barrister Frank Smith, a solicitor at law. The personal attorney 
 to a late Fredrick  Gbenga, foreign expatriate who hails from your 
 country and shares the same last name with you.I wish to bring to 
 your hearing a business proposition, which is by nature strictly 
 confidential, and I beg your pardon to accept my unsolicited email to 
 you, I will like to seek your help in which I know that a deal of 
 this magnitude will make anyone worried and apprehensive but I am 
 assuring you not to be afraid, as all will be well at the end of this 
 endeavor. 
 
 This is a genuine transaction and is 100% risk free. All I'm 
 demanding from you is your honest co-operation to enable us achieve 
 our goal, and not a perfidious person. On the 21st of April 2001 it 
 was reported to us that my Client, his wife and their only daughter 
 were involved in a Local Plane Crash at Kano State, enroute Abuja 
 (The Capital City) all occupants in the Plane lost their lives, 
 unfortunately on this same flight were other dignitaries like the 
 Sports Minister and a host of others. 
 
 Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate 
 any of my clients extended relatives this has also proved 
 unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to 
 track his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his 
 family hence I contacted you. I contacted you to assist in claiming 
 this fund from the finance house where he deposited it before his 
 untimely death. 
 
 The finance company where the deceased had an account valued at about 
 USD$7.3 million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of 
 kin or have the account confiscated within the next ten official 
 working days.Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives 
 for over 2 years now I seek your consent to present you as the next 
 of kin of the deceased since you have the same last name so that the 
 proceeds of this account valued at USD$7.3 million dollars can be 
 paid to you as the next of kin. AllI need is your full maximum 
 support and cooperation to enable us achieve this transaction within 
 10 working days and I guarantee that this will be executed under a 
 legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the 
 law. And i will also like you to indicate your interest by sending 
 your: 
 
 (a) Full name and address. 
 (b) Your private telephone and fax number. 
 (c) Age and sex. 
 
 With these information.s from you, we will proceed with this 
 transaction as the next of kin to late Mr. Fredrick. To enable us 
 commence all the legal documents immediately. 
 
 Best regards, 
 Barr Frank Smith
