ignore it as not serious or real but i urge you to be open minded and bail
me out before i go any further it is proper that i introduce myself to
you,I am Eric Tan , British and a staff of Natwest Bank plc London.I am in
the accounts department and i to get across to you an urgent and
profitable business proposal , I had done a deep internet search and sent
you my first e-mail after a careful thought that you will be capable of
handling this transaction, carefully explained below :

client who deposited the money had hit the stones.There is this immigrant
Mr. Kurt Kahle who ran a private business school was based in the U.K who

All attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless.My position here at
my office requires me to investigate and I therefore made further
investigations and discovered that Mr. Kurt Kahle did not declare any next
of kin or relation in all his official documents,including his bank
deposit paperwork in my bank.According to the British Law. The money will
revert to the ownership of the British government if nobody applies to
claim the funds.
To avoid this money being sent to the British treasury as unclaimed
funds,I have decided to seek your assistance to have you stand as his next
of kin so that the said funds ( £ 18,500,000.00 million pounds),would be
released in your name as the next of kin and paid into your account.All
documents and proof that will have you claim this fund will be forwarded
to you without any stress upon your response to this mail more soon,i want
to inform you that i have unanimously agreed to offer you ( £7.2M ) of the
total sum for the assistance and role you are going to play in this
transaction,(£2.8 M )will be given to charity organisations in your
country with your supervision while theremaining will be for me.
Please send us your Names,Telephone No,Address and your fax number in your
reply to this business transaction .
I await for your urgent response to this email .(erictan222@hotmail.com)
Best Regards,
Mr. Eric Tan

There is always a temptation to hit the SPAM button when an e-mail starts like this. Bail you out? Why on earth will anyone want to do that? Are you trying to tell us that you are in jail and need someone to bail you out... wait a minute, he just told the reader not to bail him out, so there is no reason to read any further, hit the SPAM button NOW!

Anyone can cite a news article on the website and build a cheesy story around it.
The same old story with a little twist, this scammer is philanthropic, so he will donate some of the money to a charity. Why would you want to do that if you can also split the £2.8M?
The rest of the story is simple, Mr. Eric Tan will ask for some money so that he can transfer the £18,500,000 to you bank account. This will be called a transfer fee and he will ask you to wire the money via Western Union. If you pay the money to Mr Eric Tan you will never hear from him again and you will eventually realise that the £18,500,000 does not exist at all.
