Thanks To All My Rich Relatives For Thinking Of Me

I don't know about you, but every couple of days I get one of these emails from Africa saying I am the long lost something of somebody unfortunate enough to share the same last name. I don't get it. I thought my ancestors came from Ireland, not Africa, and no one has accused me yet of being black Irish.

Let me know if you too are getting these things--and what you've been doing about it. God knows we could all use the money.

Dear Conniff,

I am writing to inform you, that you happen to be the next of kin
to my late client Mr. Micheal Conniff who died in a bomb blast 1998 where
he was assigned for a maintenance culture of the shell out reach in
Nigeria and the money for the contract was paid into his account before his
death and only his kin that bears the same surname can come for the claim
and for the past 6 years nobody has come,i am contacting you to come forward
for the claim of the funds so the money can be paid to you after which you
would pay me 30% of the total amount as my payment for my legal fees and
holding fees for the past 6 years.

The policy of the Bank however stipulates a limited time period for
such inheritance to be made or the fund will be written off going by the
record of the incident, the time limit for the claim is closing up. In this
consideration,I am contacting you to make haste for your
right, remember the total sum the of money is (Ten million,five hundred thousand us
dollars only).

Contact me back for further instructions on how to proceed to claim
these funds, providing me your private telephone numbers for easy
communication.

Yours truly,

Mr. Ademola Philips Esq.
