I got this reply after sending an email to [email protected] from the text message i receive of a local number i dont know.......
( its like a template from the post i read last march )

Greetings to you,

Thank you for finding time to get back to me as I requested. My name is Mr. Jeffrey Anderson and this is my telephone number: +1-424-231-6978. You are free to call me anytime and I will always answer once I am in a comfortable place to talk.. I want to ask for your help in getting back the money left behind by a citizen of your country Mr. Paul Aguinaldo Abaya. If this will endanger your position and reputation, I would not have contacted you. This is safe and beneficial. I am presently the Operations Manager of our bank here in the United States of America and please do not expose this transaction for any reason, I will give you more information of myself, our bank and the transaction itself once you accept to do this with me.

Late Mr. Paul Aguinaldo Abaya lived and worked in Atlanta, Georgia, United States of America as a real estate business man and he deposited in our bank the sum of one million, five hundred thousand US Dollars (US$1,500,000.00) as fixed deposit for a period of two years in 2008. This deposit has long matured and has gone dormant for over seven (7) years. We have tried to reach him and could not. His telephone number cannot be reached, emails sent to him kept bouncing back as undelivered and we never got any response from the letters posted to his residential address. This issue prompted me to carry out an independent investigation about his whereabouts since he did not provide a next of kin or beneficiary at the time he made the deposit with us. I later realized with shock that he died of Heart Failure sometime in October 2009 while on vacation in Los Angeles, California, United States. In order to verify the truth of the matter, I went to California and confirmed he was dead, it is a sad story for a kindhearted and generous person like him. This matter was not reported to our bank and nobody in our bank is aware of this except me.

I have on my own made inquiries at your embassy here in the United States and also visited Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) Manila, Philippines, no information of him was found. I have checked our records, there is no information of him relating to his address in Philippines and he did not put nominee at the time he made the deposit. All these made it impossible for me to locate any of his relatives. For security reasons I sent you the text message through the mobile line I bought when I visited your country. Since this is the issue, I want you to apply as the beneficiary of the deceased to claim the deposit from our bank since it is believed he was from your country according to his name. I know there are a lot of Filipino here in the United States, but it is only someone from outside United States of America can successfully make this claim because of the way our bank works. It does not matter whether you knew him or not, it does not matter if you have any kind of relationship with him or not, I will guide you all the way to make this claim. It is not a matter of being greedy or having bad morals, we are not hurting anyone by making this claim and it is not the best to leave the money to eventually end up in the hands of few corrupt government officials while we have the opportunity to live better with it. This transaction is a risk free transaction and as the Executive Officer of our bank, the final approval of your application will be done by me. Once I approve it, you will have the right to claim the money.

When the claim is made we will share the money into three parts 40% for each of us and the remaining 20% will be donated to charity homes in the Philippines. Everything will be done successfully and legally, have no fear about this. Right now, I have all the copies of documents relating to the deposit he made that you will file to back up this claim. All I require is your sincerity and honest cooperation to enable us make this claim successfully and we have to do this within shortest time possible because the money will be reverted to the Treasury Department's account if not claimed now. If you are willing to do this with me, write back and I shall inform you on what next to do to make sure you receive the money. I am waiting for your consent in order to move to the next step towards getting the money. Thank you.

Your sincerely,
Mr. Jeffrey Anderson.

It's an Advance Fee Fraud Scam - there is no money, the scammer just wants to steal from you.

Just delete the email without replying and block the scammer.
