This may be the best Nigerian scam e-mail I've ever received.

Good day,
My name is Melissa Farrell, I am a senior partner in the Technical Advisory Board of Allied Irish Bank Group
(Senior Security Specialist). We are conducting a standard process investigation on behalf of "AIB Group&,
the International Banking conglomerate.
This investigation involves a client who shares the same surname with you and also the circumstances
surrounding investments made by this client at "AIB Group&, the Private Banking arm of Allied Irish Bank.
The client died in testate and nominated no successor in title over the investments made with the bank. l
Would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail private and respect the integrity of the
information you come by as a result of this mail.
I contact you independently of our investigation and no one is informed of this communication. I would like
to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you. You share similar details to the
late fellow; I am prepared to place you in a position to instruct the firm to release the deposit to you as the
closest surviving relation. Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the money with you, that is, I
will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you.I would have gone
ahead to ask the funds be released to me, but that would have drawn a straight line to me and my
involvement in claiming the deposit. But on the other hand, you with the same very name as the depositor's
would easily pass as the beneficiary with right to claim. I assure you that I could have the deposit released
to you within few working days.
I am aware of the consequences of this proposal. I ask that if you find no interest in this project that you
should discard this mail. I ask that you do not be vindictive and destructive. If my offer is of no appeal to
you, delete this message and forget I ever contacted you. Do not destroy my career because you do not
approve of my proposal. You may not know this but people like myself who have made tidy sums out of
comparable situations run the whole private banking sector.
I am not a criminal and what I do, I do not find against good conscience, this may be hard for you to
understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move. Such opportunities only come
ones in a lifetime. I cannot let this chance pass me by, for once, I have found myself in total control of my
destiny. These chances won't pass me by. I ask that you do not destroy my chance, if you will not work with
me let me know and let me move on with my life but do not destroy me.
I have family and this is an opportunity to provide them with new opportunities. There is a reward for this
project and it is a task well worth undertaking. I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is
from you refusing to work with me. I am the only one who knows of this situation, good fortune has blessed
you with a name that has planted you into the center of relevance in my life.
Lets share the blessing. If you find yourself able to work with me,contact me.If you give me positive signals,
I will initiate this process towards a conclusion.
I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences, but I know within me that
nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold.
This is the one truth I have learned from my private banking clients. Do not betray my confidence. If we can
be of one accord, we should plan a meeting soon.
Kind regards,
Mrs. Melissa Farrell
