never seen a scam letter like this before


this made me laugh the whole way through, its not really anything to warn you about, just to have a good laugh at the way these people must think,


Quote:
Dear Customer, TRANSFER OF US$1,500,000.00 TO A DIFFERENT BANK ACCOUNT. CLAIM NOTIFICATION: On behalf of the entire staff and management of this bank, this email is coming to you as a confirmation to know if you are DEAD or still ALIVE. We received a notification message and phone call from one Mr. STEVEN STERCHO of USA stating that you are DEAD and that you have given him the right and authority to claim your funds. Due to the fact that this man is not your legal next of kin, the board of directors has instructed me to confirm if you are trully DEAD or ALIVE because this man came with a DEATH CERTIFICATE which shows that you are trully dead. He stated you died in a CAR accident. He has been calling us regarding this issue, but we cannot proceed with him until we confirm this by not hearing from you after 3days. If you are still alive, it is important for you to know that we have made all arrangements for you to receive and confirm your funds without any stress, and without any further delays. All Legal documents backing up your funds has been prepared and will be sent to your mailing address via DHL which sending it to you will cost you nothing. All we need to confirm now is your been DEAD or STILL ALIVE. Because this man's message brought shock to our minds and all the staff of this bank is planning to send a condolence gift to your family. If you are alive, you are adviced to respond to this email as soon as possible so we can instruct the proper authorities to get hold of this man the next time we will be hearing from him. But if it happened we did not hear from you after 3days, then we say: MAY YOUR SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE" YOUR JOY AND SUCCESS REMAINS OUR GOAL. May the peace of the Lord be with you wherever you may be now. Your Faitfully, Mr. Mark Brown Operations ManagerSkye Bank plc.Tel: +234 813 799 1259
