Poll question: OMG! I'm gonna be rich! Look at the email I just got!

Dear *****,

I am Barrister ***** *****(Esq),a solicitor at law.personal attorney to late Mr.***** *****,who was a contractor with European Development company.Herein after shall be referred to my client On the 11th of september 2001 my client was involved in world trade center bombing unfortunately lost his live three mounth after the incident due to injuries he substained in the bombing , since then I have made several inquiries to your embassy to locate any of my client extended relatives but this has proved unsuccessful.

After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name to locate any of his relatives hence I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the fund valued at US$10.5 million left behind by my client before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Unitrust Security Company in Lome/Togo where this huge amount was deposited in a trunk box under the coverage of family valuables. The said security company has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have this box confiscated within the next twenty one official working days as they don't know the content of the box.

Since I have been unsuccessfully in locating the relatives for over 2years now,I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased,so that the proceedings of this boxes can be transfer to you.Therefore, on receipt of your positive response,we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for transfers as I have every necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up for 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 from any breach of the law.

Thanks and God bless
***** *****(Esq).

It's legit: he got my name right! I didn't even know I had a relative named Mr.***** *****, but now I'm curious why his name has been left off all the 9/11 victims lists. No, "curious" is the wrong word. I'm outraged!

What shall I do with my windfall?
