If you receive an unsolicited e-mail seeking you to be presented as the next of kin or heir of a large fortune from someone you never heard of (especially if that person resides overseas), don't believe it. This is almost certainly a scam where you will be asked to pay some type of fee before you can claim the money or you will be presented with a phony check and asked to return a share. Don't be fooled by official looking documents as scammers make a living forging these things. If you get such an e-mail or letter or you get a letter that is similar to one in our database: you should delete the letter. Do not contact the person and especially do not give out personal information such as bank account information. NEVER pay any fees of any kind. You may want to visit other sites to learn more:

RE: NEXT OF KINTuesday, May 22, 2007 11:45 AM From: "Steve Lawley" <Lawleyemail@aim.com>Mr. Steve Lawley. Europe. Email: slawley@claranet.de
RE: NEXT OF KIN Dear Friend,
Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not meet your personal ethics, but let it remains as top secret for only you and I. I will introduce myself as Mr Steve, a staff in the Accounts Management Section of a well-known bank in Europe. One of our accounts with holding balance of US$20,000,000 (Twenty Millions US Dollars) has been Dormant and has not been operated for the past 5 years.
From my investigation and confirmation, the owner of this account a foreigner, died in August 2000 and since his death nobody has done anything as regards the claiming of this money because he has no family members who were aware of the existence of neither the account nor the funds, also, information from the National Immigration stated that he was also single on entry into Europe. I had discussed this matter with some of my bank Top Officials and we have agreed to find a Reliable Partner to deal with. We thus propose to do business with you, standing in as the NEXT OF KIN to the deceased, and funds will be released to you after due processes have been followed and neccessary documentation to back this up will be presented. This transaction is totally free of risk and troubles as the fund is legitimate and does not originate from Drug, Money Laundry, Terrorism or any other illegal act. Also, after a successful completion of this transaction, we intend to give you 30% and 10% for whatever expenses that we both may incur, while 60% of the total amount will be for us which we also intend to invest in your country in any good business venture that you will introduce.
If you are interested, send me the following information via email to me so that we can start processing this transaction: -
1 Complete Names (First and Last Names) 2 Full Address. 3. Phone and Fax numbers (for proper communication.) 4. Occupation, Age and Marital Status.
Thank you for your understanding and reply to slawley@claranet.de Regards, Mr. Steve

International Business Partnership ProposalFriday, May 18, 2007 6:26 AM From: "ibrahim belem" <ibr_be24@hotmail.fr>FROM THE DESK OF IBRAHIM BELEM BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER, AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (ADB), OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO.
My Dear Friend,
How are you doing today? I will explain my self little to you before I continue. I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department of AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (ADB).I am writing to seek your interest over a partnership business transaction.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $15m US dollars (FIFTEEN MILLIONS US DOLLARS). In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in November 2002 in a plane crash. Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately I learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I and one other official in my department have decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don’t want this money to go into the Bank's treasury as unclaimed Bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after seven years, the money will be transferred into the Bank's treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a citizen of our country cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
We agree that 40 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and 50 % would be for me and my colleague.
Thereafter I will visit your country for disbursement of the fund according to the percentages indicated in this proposal. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, You must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in the money will be remitted.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by email the format of the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made by me and my colleague in the bank for the smooth and effective transfer of the money into your designated bank account that you provide.
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately. Time is not a negligible factor in this business because we have limited time at our disposal.
Yours faithfully IBRAHIM BELEM Bill and Exchange Manager, Africa Development Bank (A.D.B)
