Good day.

I am Advocate Loyen Van Smith,A senior legal practitioner and partner with the Loyens and Smith law Chambers in Leiden Netherland.

I wish to know if we can work together on a very important proposal I am about to introduce to you.

I would like you to stand as the beneficiary to my deceased client Mrs. Rachel Janosik, who made some deposit of Ђ19.700, 000 (Ninety Million Seven Hundred Thousand Euros} with the ING BANK [http://www.ingbank.nl]here in Amsterdam Netherland,Before her demise.

You can visit this web site to confirm my information's to you at ALASKA AIRLINE FLIGHT 261. http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/

She died without any registered next of kin, Because she moved to the
United States Of America years back before this accident,and as such the funds now have an open beneficiary mandate. And the bank has being writing me all this while,Because they recognize me as her lawyer back here, And they have requested I try and locate any of her beneficiary to come for this funds.As that is the policy here in the Netherlands.

For years now I have been unsuccessful in locating any of her relatives and so have decided to seek other means to transfer this fund. I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased. I agree to pay you 30% of the fund as the account owner, 60% would be for me.While we would set aside 10% for settling any expenses we make during this transaction.

I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make at the bank,And with my status covers every other aspect.

So please if you are interested in doing this with me, Do respond to me via my personal Email:barrloyensmith@aim.com,So that I can give you more comprehensive details on what we are to do, And discuss further modalities, On how we can have this funds released and wired into your designated bank account, before my meeting with you for the disbursement of the fund .

Please you need to keep this transaction confidential, Until we have successfully transferred this funds into your designated bank account.

Awaiting your urgent and positive response.

Yours Sincerely.
Advocate Loyen Van Smith

Dear Douchebag,

I followed the link you sent to confirm the identity of your deceased client and I am curious how "Rachel Janosik, 20, of
Enumclaw, Washington. Horizon Air food and beverage agent, based in Seattle" would have made a deposit of Ninety Million Seven Hundred Thousand Euros with the ING BANK.

In addition, you claim that your client has no registered next of kin, when a quick search of her name comes up with the following quote from her grieving brother, "'She was really getting into traveling,' said her brother, Matt, 18. 'We just got her a set of luggage for Christmas.'"
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2000/02/01/national/main155348.shtml

I am pretty sure he would be interested hearing about his sister's will, considering she must have been living a secret double life. It's amazing that she worked as an air and food agent in
Seattle and also lived in the Netherlands with 97,700,000EU in the bank. Quite a life for a 20-year old. She was probably super spy for the government and the airline job was just a cover.


C’mon, do you really think I’m stupid enough to believe that?! Why don’t you just go pack another bowl of hash and leave the email scams to the professionals. At least the Nigerians have the courtesy to do their research. I mean on the same list of the deceased where you found Rachel Janosik you can find: “Larry Baldridge Jr. of Novato, California, was a savvy businessman taking advantage of the Internet boom. He began to set up a venture capital business with Michael Schwab, the son of legendary brokerage leader Charles Schwab.” Now that is someone who might have deposited a large sum of money in a foreign bank. Sloppy, sloppy work. You’re never going to make it in the scamming industry unless you start to take pride in what you do.


That being said, it is a lot of money, and just in case it’s all true I would be interested in discussing further modalities. Please let me know.


Thanks,

Scamtastic
