The fellow who wrote this post has a good command of the English language. At least he has written it in a semi-official tone to give the impression he really is an attorney at law.

To create urgency, he is using the argument often used saying the account will be confiscated.

By whom? For what?

It’s not that easy to confiscate an account. It would only occur when the account was used for illegal purposes and then only with a court issues a writ to do so.

I am Henry Adams, an attorney at law. A deceased client of mine, Mr. Seith G.Daniel has bequeathed you as His Heir, who died as a result of Heart-Related problem due to the death of all the members of his family in the Gulf Air Flight Crashes in Persian Gulf near Bahrain Aired August 23, 2000 - 2:50 p.m. ET as reported on: http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0008/23/bn.08.html

I’m contacting you as the Next of kin (Heir) to approve the release of the money left behind by my client before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this deposit valued at thirty two million dollars (US$32 million dollars) is lodged. This bank has issued me a notice to contact you (Next of Kin), or the account will be confiscated.

My proposition to you is to seek your consent and approval as the Next-of-kin and beneficiary of my late client, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you as His Heir. All legal documents to back up your claim as my client’s next-of-kin will be provided. All I require is your approval about this and your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through.

This will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. If this mail proposition offends your moral values, do accept my apology. I must use this opportunity to implore you to exercise the utmost indulgence to keep this matter extraordinary confidential, whatever your decision, while I await your prompt response. Please contact me at once to indicate your approval. I will like you to acknowledge the receipt of this e-mail as soon as possible via my private EMAIL:(adamschamber@hotmail.com) and treat with absolute confidentiality and sincerity.

It’s a combination of the foundation and inheritance type of message.
It goes to show that anything goes for these African crooks.

Subject: I write you most humbly
To: undisclosed-recipients

Dear friend,
I write you most humbly, keenly and above all with a high sense of
confidentiality !I consider you as one bestowed with a great love and
compassion for the downtrodden, the less-privileged as well as those
who are passing through the ugly side of life. In respect of my friend
of the blessed memory who was the pioneer founder and president of
Child Hope Foundation (CHF) whose demise took on in the year 2000. He
was also a Managing Director of an investment firm here in Ghana.
Child Hope Foundation (CHF) is a non-profit making, non-religious,
charitable, non governmental organization (NGO) dedicated to the
welfare and care of all children especially orphans, children with
single parents, children living with various forms of disabilities and
impairments.

Vis a vis the late pioneer founder and president of Child Hope
Foundation (CHF) whose surname eventually is same with yours, it is
therefore of germane necessity that I intimate you of the sum of
Eighty two million US dollars ($82M USD) belonging to him and
deposited with International Commercial Bank (ICB) Ltd. Ghana.

The ICB Ltd. of Ghana contacted me as the Director and at same time a
Trustee of the Foundation to recommend a next of kin who can have
access and control over these funds. By this means, I may wish that
you act as the legitimate next of kin so as to receive the said amount
into your account with the pledge that you will also remit back 60 %
of the total amount for the Child Hope Foundation (CHF) and have 40%
for yourself. However, you may feel free to extend to me any token
from your offer as an expression of goodwill and appreciation.

Besides there is a recurring grant in the amount of USD 500,000.00
yearly that has accrued to the Child Hope Foundation (CHF) that has
not been paid since the year 2001 and which is due for payment by the
18th December, 2008.This has been in effect since the year 2001 and
has amounted to the sum of US $4,000,000.00 to be cashed on the above
dated day this December, 2008.

Without further delay, indicate your disposition in this my
confidential appeal to enable us sustain our charity work for these
needy children around the world.
With your notification of interest on this development, few
requirements shall be made from you that will be sent to the bank to
enable them facilitate disbursement of the funds in to your account.

With the assurances of my regards and confidence!

Sincerely,
Rev. Nicole Hills

NB: Kindly reply me through my personal email address at
rv.nicolehills@gmail.com it is very important to reply only on this
email. Thanks for your cooperation

It’s surprising, but there are a lot of cancer e-mails posted here with one thing in common. And that is, the first name is Jennifer.

Just do a search on “Jennifer” and you will see how many have been posted in the past.

Remarkable……

Now this one is really interesting. Why would would anyone want to cash in a bank draft and deposit the money with a parcel express company?

(Does he mean UPS?)

At the best, this is a very dubious story.
