I was cleaning out the spam in the VRCC staff email account when I came across this quite interesting proposal from barrister Wong You Fong who, according to the email address from which it was sent, hails from Poland. You don't need to read the entire explanation and proposal to get the humor of it, but one question kept gnawing at me. Who in Sumatra had a last name of Vrccstaff?
I didn't reply because the proposal offends my moral values. Dear Friend,
I am Barrister Wong You Fong, an attorney at law. A deceased client of
mine, that shares the same last name as yours, died as a result of His heart
condition, due to the death of all the members of his family in the tsunami
disaster on the 26th December 2004 in Sumatra Indonesia. As reported by
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Indian_Ocean_earthquake.I have contacted you to assist in distributing the money left behind by my
client before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this
deposit valued at Five Million, One Hundred Thousand United States Dollars
(US$5.1 Million). This bank has issued me a notice to contact the next of kin,
or the account will be confiscated.
My proposition to you is to seek your consent to present you as the next-of-kin
and beneficiary of my named client, since you have the same last name, so that
the proceeds of this account can be paid to you. Then we can share the amount
on a mutually agreed-upon percentage. All legal documents to back up your claim
as my client's next-of-kin will be provided. All I require is your honest
cooperation to enable us see this transaction through.
This will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from
many breach of the law. If this business proposition offends your moral values,
do accept my apology. I must use this opportunity to implore you to exercise the
utmost indulgence to keep this matter extraordinary confidential, whatever your
decision, while I await your prompt response. Please contact me at once to
indicate your interest. I will like you to acknowledge the receipt of this
e-mail as soon as possible via my private Email:
wongfong2011@live.comAnd treats with absolute confidentiality and sincerity. I look forward to your
quick reply.
Best regards,
Wong You Fong
Attorney at Law
