After years of heavily using the internet and emails, today was the first prank email that I receive.
It goes like this:
FOR YOUR KIND ATTENTION.
I work with a Corporate Financial Service Provider in Europe. We had a
customer who deposited some money with us and eventually died without
any reference to a next of kin.
In accordance with the EU Trust and Federal Laws, at the expiration of
6 (six) years, his investments with our Financial Trust shall revert
to ownership of the government of the country of the said investments
if nobody applies as the next of kin to claim the investments.
Since you share the same surname with my client. I want to present you
to stand in as the next of kin so that you and I can benefit from this
investment equally. I guarantee that this will be executed under
legitimate arrangement that will protect us from any breach of the law.
If this proposal is acceptable to you, kindly indicate your telephone,
fax numbers and location where the money will be remitted.
I will instruct you on the next step to take.
With friendly greetings,
Richard Coulson
Now, I will post the guy's email address so we can launch an attack on him but first I need some ideas for a top-notch reply.
Show me your best
