We received this in email just this morning. We thought we would pass it along. There is no way we would respond to it. But we thought that if someone else that comes to this site gets it, they won't respond either.

DEAR FRIEND,

I AM MR.GODSON DIKE,THE DIRECTOR IN CHARGE OF AUDITING
AND ACCOUNTING SECTION OF (FINANCIAL BANK LOME-TOGO)
IN WEST AFRICA. WITH DUE RESPECT AND REGARDS.I HAVE
DECIDED TO CONTACT YOU ON A BUSINESS TRANSACTION THAT
WILL BE VERY BENEFICIAL TO BOTH OF US AT THE END OF
THE TRANSACTION. DURING MY AUDTING IN THIS BANK,I CAME
ACROSS A SUM OF SIXTEEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS
($16.MILLION) BELONGING TO A DECEASED COSTOMER OF
THIS BANK late (Effat Mansour, of Irvine
California-USA) WHO DIED ALONG WITH HIS WIFE AND OTHER
PASSENGERS ABOARD IN THE PLANE CRASH OF 31 OCTOBER
1999[WITH THE EGYPTIAN AIRLINE 990] AS YOU CAN COMFIRM
THROUGH THIS WED SITE:
http://www.greatdreams.com/PassEAir990.htm
SINCE THE DEATH OF EFFAT MANSOUR AND HIS WIFE,I
PERSONALLY CONCLUDED A SUCCESSFUL INVESTIGATION ABOUT
THIS COUPLE AND FIND OUT THAT THEY HAD NO CHILD BEFORE
THEY DIED AND THERE IS NO OTHER PERSON LEFT TO INHERIT
THIS FUND.ON THIS NOTE I DECIDED TO SEEK FOR WHOM HIS
NAME SHALL BE USED AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO THE
DECEASED.PLEASE I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT THIS AND GET
BACK TO ME WITHOUT WASTING MUCH OF MY TIME BECAUSE THE
BANKING LAWS HERE DOES NOT ALLOW SUCH MONEY TO STAY
MORE THAN SIX YEARS WITHOUT THE NEXT OF KIN PUTING
CLAIMS OVER THE FUND,SO IF THE FUND REMAINS IN THIS
BANK AFTER SIX YEARS WITHOUT THE NEXT OF KIN PUTING
CLAIMS OVER IT,THEN THE MONEY WILL BE PAID TO THE
GOVERNMENT TREASUREY AS UNCLAIMED BILL.IN VIEW OF THIS
I DECIDED TO CONTACT YOU TO SEE IF YOU COULD ACCEPT TO
ACT AS THE NEXT OF KIN OF THE DECEASED CUSTOMER SO
THAT THE FUNDS WILL BE LEGALY TRANSFERRED TO YOUR BANK
ACCOUNT WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM.I GOT YOUR CONTACT THROUGH
A WEB DIRECTORY AND DECIDED TO REACH YOU TO SEE IF YOU
COULD BE INTERESTED.THE REQUEST OF A FOREIGNER TO
STAND AS THE NEXT OF KIN IN THIS TRANACTION IS
OCCASIONED BY THE FACT THAT THE DECEASED CUSTOMER WAS
A FOREIGNER SO THE NEXT OF KIN MUST BE A FOREIGNER
TOO.I AGREED THAT 30%(PERCENT) OF THIS FUND WILL BE
FOR YOU IN RESPECT OF ACTING AS THE NEXT OF KIN,WHILE
5% (PERCENT)WILL BE MAPED OUT FOR ANY EXPENSES THAT
MAY ARRIVE IN THE PROCEES OF SUCCEEDING THE
TRANSFER,AND 65%(PERCENT) WILL BE FOR ME.SO WHEN THE
FUND IS TRANSFERRED TO YOUR ACCOUNT I WILL VISIT YOUR
COUNTRY FOR THE SHARING OF THE MONEY ACCORDING TO THE
AGREED PERCENTAGES AS I AM ALMOST DUE FOR
RETIREMENT.THEREFORE TO ENDEAVOUR AN IMMEDIATE
TRANSFER OF THIS FUNDS TO YOUR ACCOUNT,YOU HAVE TO
APPLY TO THE BANK AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO THE DISEASED
CUSTOLER SO THAT THE BANK WILL PROCESS THE TRANSFER TO
YOUR BANK ACCOUNT.UPON RECEIPT OF A POSITIVE RESPONSE
FROM YOU,I WILL SEND TO YOU BY E-MAIL THE EXAMPLE OF
THE APPLICATION CLAIMS WHICH YOU WILL PREPARE AND SEND
TO THE FOREIGN REMITTANCE DIRECTOR OF OUR BANK FOR
APPROVALS. I WILL NOT FAIL TO ASSURE YOU THAT THIS
TRANSACTION IS HITCH FREE AND YOU SHOULD NOT ENTERTAIN
ANY FEAR AS THE WHOLE REQUIRED ARRANGEMENTS HAS BEEN
PERFECTED FOR THE TRANSFER.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOUR WISH AS SOON AS YOU RECEIVE
THIS MAIL.

Thanks B&S, you are quite correct, it's 110% Scam. This is called a "Next of Kin" scam, and actually asks that you pretend to be the next of kin to the dead person.

"Oh look, I'm a really clever banker and I've found all this money which just happens to be laying around unnoticed. Instead of being a good employee I'm going to get a foreigner to help me steal the money from the bank."

People do fall for these scams, so thanks for sharing.
