I recently received an email containing a proposal to get the money, of a person who has died, transferred in my account and share it with the person who sent me the email. The contents of the email are ------ FROM MR.MOHAMMED YAYA AUDITING DEPARTMENT AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK ECOWAS BUILDING BOULEVARD POMPIDO BIGHETT LOME TOGO. Dear Friend, I have a proposal for you - this however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will. I am 50 year old, and work with a bank (one of the African leading banks in the West Coast). Here in this bank existed a dormant account for the past 8 years which belong to a American national who is now late Gerard St. Germain who died on Egypt Air flight 990. http://www.s-t.com/daily/11-99/11-02-99/d08ho174.htm When I discovered that there had been no deposits nor withdrawals from this account for this long period, I decided to carry out a system investigation and discovered that non of the family member nor relations of the late person is aware of this account. This is the story in a nutshell. Now I want an account overseas where the bank will transfer this funds.Thereafter, I had planned to destroy all related documents for this account. It is a careful network and for the past eleven months I have worked out everything to ensure a hitch-free operation. The amount is not so much at the moment and plus all the accumulated interest the balance in this account stands at-(US$ 9.5 million US dollars). Now my questions are:- 1. Can you handle this project? 2. Can I give you this trust? 3. can you sponsor this transfer. If you can what will be your commission? Consider this and get back at us as soon as possible. Finally, it is our humble prayer that the information as contained herein be accorded the necessary attention, urgency as well as the secrecy it deserves. I Expect your urgent response if you can handle this project. please sent me mail to my privert Email address: (yayamohammedyaya@excite.com) OR (yayamohammedyaya@myway.com) Respectfully yours, Mr.Mohammed Yaya -------------- It is quite a tempting email but I have already read many cases of cheating like this before so I didnot fall in the trap. What they do is once a person show interest in it then after few emails they will ask for some $1000 to carry out certain formalities and once the money is paid to them they will just vanish. Has anyone received a mail like this or is cheated in a similar way?What do you think of these people?

Well, I have many times such mail. I think before sending the mail somebody really checks the profile of the person to whom the mail is being sent. I do have such mails and I just try to delete it rather to contact because I feel this a scam and a fraud. I would like to suggest that please do not adhere to them at all and try to delete these scam! Take care, Bye!

That is fraud plain and simple. I have had several of those and only opened the first one. After reading it I deleted it. The other ones that I have received after that I just automatically delete them. My husband also has gotten some like that. It is the same with him he deletes them.
