Opportunity to become a Milionaire

Good day all. Received the following email. Thought of sharing the "secret and opportunity" with you. Millions of Dollars are waiting for you. LOL

From: Mark Welling (Welling & Associates, Fulham, London SW6 1RP, United Kingdom). Dear Friend, Good day and happy day to you and your family today. With due respect and humility, I am Mark Welling, an attorney here in the United Kingdom. I am writing following an opportunity in my office that will be of immense benefit to both of us. I was legal counsel to the late Mr. Rudolf Haeussler, a German who unfortunately lost his life in the 24 November 2001 Crossair aircraft crash of the 97-seat Jumbolino Avero RJ-100 aircraft en route from Berlin, Germany to Zurich, Switzerland, killing also his wife and only daughter. The aircraft crashed in poor weather conditions as it approached Zurich airport.Before his death, I assisted him deposit a consignment containing the sum of US$19.1M (Nineteen Million One Hundred Thousand US Dollars) with a financial institution in one of the major cities here in Europe. Since I got information about his death, I have been expecting his next of kin or relatives to come over and claim his money. Unfortunately I learnt that his supposed next of kin being his only daughter died along with him in the plane crash leaving nobody with the knowledge of this fund behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to do business with you and release the money to you as the next of kin or beneficiary of the funds for safe keeping and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it. I would need you as a Foreigner acting as the next of kin and sole benefactor to the inheritance of late Mr. Rudolf Haeussler to claim the funds for us to share. There is no risk involved at all in the matter as I am going to adopt a legalized method and prepare all the necessary documents. Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue. Once the funds have been transferred, we shall share in the ratio of 60% for me, 35% for you and 5% for any expenses incurred during the course of this operation. Should you be interested, please reply by sending me your telephone and fax numbers via email address ([email protected]) for easy communication.Take note. In the event you are not interested, I sincerely ask that you disregard this email and tell no one about it. I am very careful not to truncate my legal career should you mention this to someone else. I hope you can be trusted in this regard. Please note that all necessary arrangement for the smooth release of these funds to you have been finalised. We will discuss more in details when I do receive your response. Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated. Best regards, Mark Welling esq.

I know a person who was fooled by similar scam. Got a message that he won something around 1 million dollars in a lottery. Cut a long story short, he was requested to remit 800$ to process the transaction. He did and still waiting to become a millionaire.

The weird thing is that the victim is highly educated and holding a senior position in a huge international firm.

when the 'lawyer' says that the bloke died with no next of kin, so the money deposited in Trust (or whatever) could be shifted to:

".... you as a Foreigner acting as the next of kin and sole benefactor to the inheritance of late Mr. Rudolf Haeussler to claim the funds for us to share." and

"...Once the funds have been transferred, we shall share in the ratio of 60% for me, 35% for you ..."

EEEEK

A fraud within a scam within a fraud lol

I received one of these not too long ago. I was bored, so i sent him a fake name,email,telephone number and fax. He then thanked me and replied that he needed my visa number so he ould tranfer the money to it. I knew it weas a fraud, but I told him that he ould send me a check or cash. He said it was unseure and thatg he needed my visa number. I said it was unsecure to send visa numbers over the internet. He said that hotmail was really secure. Then i sent him a email telling him that i knew he was a fraud and i included a bunch of swear words.

How on EARTH could anyone POSSIBLY think a person receiving an e-mail like that would actually be taken in? Mind boggling.

Oh! I think I got my first 'scam' like this the other day but it came through my PM system here on QL, not by e-mail. Big sob letter etc etc.
