If you have seen the Khodorkovsky e-mails, then you know what this one is about. Platon Lebedev is another billionaire put in jail in Russia.
I found the last sentence sounds like a James Bond movie:

The Africans have obviously recognised that trust, especially online, is necessary to enable them to get people to contact them.
What they have not recognised, is the fact that you can’t tell someone you are trustworthy, but you also have to prove it. Not only in word, but also in your deeds and how you treat people.
Of course, that is something the Africans don’t have the need or time for.

RE:TEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS INHERITANCE CLAIM (US$10,500,000,00
—-
Attn 20-Feb-09
Michael Holdcroft
Please do not be offended if this message comes to you as I ought to have sought your consent and approval before e-mailing this proposal to you but I acted as I did due to the importance and urgency of this business. Which ever way you may look at it, let it please you to respond quickly either negatively or positively.
My name is Barrister Fedrick Obutu,I am a Legal representative, and Attorney to Late Mr Phillip Cornell. In the Year 2004, my client by name Mr.Phillip Cornell passed away,leaving behind a cash inheritance of Ten million Five hundred thousand United States Dollars ($10,500,000,00).My late client and bosom friend grew up in a “Motherless Babies Home”. He had no family, no beneficiary nor next of kin to the inheritance consignment left behind at the finance security company batch no xx2604AF. The Financial law of inheritance clearly allows for the deceased security company to use deceased consignment as deemed fit, should the inheritance consignment be left unclaimed after the death of the consignment owner.
As you may know,next of kinship is not limited to relation of the deceased,nor is it confided to the circuit of parental relationship,rather it is by choice of the benefactor as regards to whom he wish to make his WILL to(beneficiary) either formally by write up,or informally by secret information disclosure to beneficiary be him/her business partner,relations, Kinsmen,Or Friends or Well Wishers.and whereby the deceased did not mention anybody as the next of kin as in this case, then whoever that comes up with concrete information as contained in his account establishment file/record is assumed to be the next Of kin automatically, because you wouldn’t Have any knowledge of these secret information of the deceased if you are not his next of Kin Or close to him either by relationship or friendship as in private disclosure and i have all this informations and will forward it to you at the appropriate time.
I have contacted you to assist me in repartriating this fund left behind by my client before it gets confisicated or declared unserviceable by the Bank where this huge amount was deposited. The Bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have his account confisicated within the next twenty one official working days as the policy of the bank is to overrun over four years of unserviceable and dormant accounts.They have a veritable excuse as they knew that my client was dead.
Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relations all this while, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased. This is to enable us salvage the proceeds of his account and get it paid to you instead. I have this obssession that if the directors of the Bank confiscated the money, it might not be put into proper and useful ventures to benefit the poor masses of this world. I was contacted and all necessary burial arrangements were made and the remains of the family buried in the public cementary. Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients either blood families or the extended relations. My concerted search proved abbortive. Perhaps, you may not be related to him but it behoves on us to seize this golden opportunity to salvage his savings since I could not locate any relation of his either dead or alive..
The Inheritance Law clearly leaves the proof of who is or is not the next of kin, to the deceased Lawyer to prove. As the deceased Lawyer,the Law says l have the final say of who is the beneficiary of the deceased consighnment.
This is 100% percent legal. As a lawyer I know this.As this will be a testimony for you and me if you make up your mind,for the claim.
All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you and me from any breach of the law. Therefore, should this proposal appeal to you and on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for transfer.
This one was sent in by one of my Swiss readers today. The reader’s surname was .…
Yes, you guessed right. The reader’s surname was Noll.
So you do see that these crooks, research and target names which fit in with any tragedy they can find to use as a 419 type of story.
The most well know name used for this type of fraud, is Andreas Schranner, who died in the Concorde plane crash in Paris.

36TH FLOOR DAH SING BANK
FINANCIAL CENTRE LTD.
108 GLOUCESTER ROAD,
HONG KONG
Dear Friend,
I am Mr. Hon-Hing Wong , Managing Director Dah Sing Bank Ltd, Hong Kong.
I am contacting you with respect to a portfolio amounting to $35,520,000 USD (Thirty Five Million, Five Hundred and Twenty Thousand United States Dollar) deposited by a German Merchant named Mr. Mathew Schneider.
On the 18th of November 2002 Mr. Mathew Schneider deposited $12,000,000 USD (Twelve Million United States Dollars) under our portfolio management department for four years and the deposit matured on the 18th of November 2006 with over 196% growth which
amounted to a total of $35,520,000 USD (Thirty Five Million, Five Hundred and Twenty Thousand United States Dollar).
Mr. Mathew Schneider, has since passed away without stating his next of kin because he deposited the funds in our establishment at a point he was finalizing divorcing his wife and had no kids coupled with the fact that he was an orphan, this funds has since
mature and the roll-over on the funds has also expired.
This sum of $35,520,000 USD (Thirty Five Million, Five Hundred and Twenty Thousand United States Dollar) is still in my possession in my Bank lifeless and unnoticed because there will never be a claim on the funds and all material and immaterial documents and
certificates relating to the funds is also in my possession.
According to the Hong Kong Law regulating cases of this nature which is also typical to other Asian countries, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, such funds will revert to the ownership of the Government for financing military operations, such as purchasing
of arms and ammunitions for the military.
In order to avert this negative development, I will like to seek for your permission as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Mr. Mathew Schneider so that the fruits of this old man’s labor will not be use for financing weapons which will further enhance the courses of war in the world in general.
The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 35% for you and the balance of 5% will be responsible for the major/trivial expenses incurred in the course of the transaction. There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this project will be done by my attorney and with my position as the credit officer guarantees
the successful execution of this project. If you are interested, please reply immediately.
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with further information and modalities that will help you understand the transaction.
You should observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this project would be most profitable for both parties because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply.
