Your Inheritance Dr. Bamboo
I am***, a legal practitioner and the personal Lawyer to engineer Bamboo who died with his wife and only daughter in a car accident here in Lome-Togo.
Engineer Bamboo died and left the sum of Seven Million two Hundred and forty Five Thousand US dollars (US$7,245,000.00) with bank here in Lome-Togo. After his burial,I went to his bank account officer and after my discussion with him concerning the Fund, he then advised me to contact any of his family members to receive the money since their bank law stipulates in times of death,that the depositor's family relatives is entitled to receive the money as family inheritance, but the truth is that,engineer Bamboo nationalised here in Togo,
and he has no other relative to receive the money apart from his wife and daughter who has died with him in the accident.
Now I contacting you to present your name and contacts to the bank as one of his family relatives / next of kin since you have the same surname with him and the bank will transfer the money to you,then both of us will share it 50%-50%.
Reply back to my e-mail ( ***@yahoo.fr) for full details concerning this inheritance Fund.
Thanks,
Barrister ***.
要約すると、アフリカのトーゴの首都ロメで、Bamboo技師が家族もろとも交通事故で亡くなった。遺産が US$7,245,000 あるのだが、親類がいない。同じ Bamboo なので、私が親類になって遺産を相続できるようにするから折半しないか、ということ。
連絡先がヤフーメールというのが少し気にかかるが、なんと言っても7百万ドルだ。折半してもかなりの大金だもの、些細なことは気にしない。こうなったら南太平洋に別荘を買って、悠々自適の人生だな。
ところで、この日記は
『夏休みの妄想日記大募集』への応募なんだけど、締め切りは二日になっている。でも、お知らせが来たのは本日の四日。まあ、大金が入るのだから細かいことは気にしない、気にしない。
