If you are not the intended recipient (or authorised to receive for the recipient), please contact the sender by reply email and delete all copies of this message.
I am Barrister David Kenneth, solicitor and personal attorney to Mrs. Celina Simms, who worked with Shell Petroleum Development Company here in U.K, here in after referred to as my client. My late client died in a fatal accident with her husband and only son who were the only beneficiaries to her estates on the 8Th day of February 2004.Until her death she was consultant to several oil and gas industries. She had a sojourn in the United States and so many other countries before she came to Cairn Energy PLC oil and gas exploration and Production Company based in the United Kingdom and Australia.
She belonged to several non-governmental and scientific organisations. She was also a great philanthropist and a Paul Harris Fellow of the Rotary Club International. Since then, i have made several enquiries to locate any of my client's extended relatives which have also proved abortive. Hence, after these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact you believing that by grace of God you will help me to recover her money and other property which I have all the related document to back-up the claim.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the finance firm in Europe where this huge deposit was lodged. The finance firm, where the deceased had an account valued at about £10.3 million British pounds has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next twenty one official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over two months now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at 10.3 million British pounds can be paid to you and then we both can share the money, 60% to me and 40% to you. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back-up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. I am very grateful and Thankful for your attention to my email.
My regards to you.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr. David Kenneth.

Dear Sir,
I am very much interested in doing business with you.
However, you must understand that I am a member of an organization known as "The Red Hat Brigade". The by-laws and codes of this organization are very strict and I dare not break those laws.
I am speaking of the rule that we as members can only do business while wearing a red hat ( or cap ) and the people we do business with must do so as well.If I am to work with you I must have a photo of you wearing a red hat.
I know you may think this is an odd request but I cannot work with you otherwise.
Best regards and God bless you all. I hope to receive the photo soon.
Fred Sanford-

Subject: Regarding the inheritance of late Mrs. Celina Simms. To: "Fred Sanford" fredsanfordxxxx@yahoo.com
Dear Fred,
Thank you for your urgent response. I contacted you on this matter believing that we could do this transaction together for the benefit of both of us. However,based on your request i have immediately snapped a picture with red hat on me, so that we could proceed very quickly and get t his fund transferred for our collective gains because i know that immediately this fund is transferred our lives must not be the same again, our lives must be changed for batter. Meanwhile, the attachment below is me on red hat as you requested . I know that you may not know or have a direct relationship with late Mrs.Celina Simms, but I am taking advantage that i am his attorney which provides us with the necessary ground to apply for the release of this money to you for our joint benefits.
You have to understand that if this is what I can do without fronting somebody as the next of kin, I wouldn't have contacted you at all. Moreover, if it were possible for me to use any person I lay my hands on, I would have presented somebody here without going through the stress of looking for a foreigner to act as the next of kin to the deceased. The need for a foreigner to act as the next of kin to the deceased is occasioned by the fact that the deceased is an expatriate.
What actually I want you to do is to stand as the relation of the deceased so as to apply officially for the release of the money in his account through the headquarters of the bank. I will prepare and send to you the application letter that you will send to the bank requesting the release of the money. Already I have concluded arrangement for the approval of the application as I have my contacts in all the area that matters within the bank.
The transaction is 100% risk free. The security of all parties involved is adequately guaranteed in as much as it is executed through the appropriate manner and channel as planned. From the arrangements put in place, I expect that this transaction will be completed within two working weeks. However, you have to assure me of the safety of my own share of the money in your hands if you decide to assist until I come over to your country for disbursement.
Meanwhile, I am offering you 40% of the total sum for the assistance you will provide. You should let me know more about yourself.

If I may ask, What is the possibility of investment opportunities in your country? How do your Government Policies encourage foreign investment? All these I would love to know immediately to enable us commence.
Please if you are satisfied with this and know you are capable enough to proceed, kindly let me know right away.Please be informed that the sensitive nature of this project demands that it must be kept absolutely confidential. I await your most urgent response. Lets work with one mind.
My regards to you and your family,
Sincerely,
David Kenneth

Dear Mr Kenneth,
I am pleased that you were willing to abide by the by-laws of the Red Hat Society and I thank you for your photo.
However, I am very upset by that photo as well!!!!
I did not mention this in my first email because I would have believed it was understood. In my country, gentlemen do not conduct business dressed in such a careless manner as you!!!! It is understood that gentlemen wear a proper jacket and tie while engaging in business of any kind.
I am sending a photo of myself to you so as to show you how it's done.
Thank you,
Fred Sanford
Note: Thanks so much to my sister Theresa for putting the red hat on Fred.

Mr Kenneth,
You have given me certain information about yourself and have asked for information about myself.
First of all, you must know that the money you speak of is not of prime inportance to me. Of course it is quite a lot of money but I am very rich in my own right. I want to add to this fortune of mine but things must be done properly.
You wrote "the red hat and picture should not be the based topic here". This tells me that you do not take the vows of the Red Hat Brigade seriously. You send me a photo wearing improper dress then you send a small passport photo that is too small to read..... and still no red hat!!!!!
As I said, I want to add to the millions I already have in my bank account but we must do this PROPERLY!!! If you cannot take my requests seriously then I must reconsider whether I can do business with you. Obviously, you are in greater need of money than I am.
Thank you,
Fred Sanford.
