Copy of Nigerian Email Scam

I was going through my alternate email account and came across this email from a Mr. Jeffery Ekwome. "Ekwome" is probably Nigerian for "stupid f***ing American".

Here goes:

Subject:
Next Of Kin To Late Michael Wilson

Greetings,
I am Mr. Jeffrey Ekwome, an Accountant Manager with
INTERCONTINENTAL BANK PLC (ICB) Lagos, Nigeria; I am
the personal Account Manager to Engr. Michael Wilson, a
Citizen of your country and a Contractor with Texaco
Petroleum Company in my country.
On the 19th of April 2002, Engr. Michael Wilson, his
wife and their three children were involved in a car
accident Along Lagos/Ibadan Express Road.
Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event
of the accident, since then I have made several
enquiries to your Embassy to locate any of His
extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several Unsuccessful attempts, I decided
to trace his relatives over the Internet, to locate
any member of His family but of no avail, hence I
contacted you. I got your contact from a Web directory
I got from your embassy.
I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money in
addition to the property left behind by the late Engr.
Michael before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the bank where these huge deposits
were lodged. Particularly, INTERCONTINENTAL BANK PLC,
where the deceased had an account valued at about
US$11 Million Dollars.
Consequently, the bank issued me a notice to provide
the Next Of Kin or have the account confiscated within
the next twenty official working days. Since I have
been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3
years now I seek your consent to present you as the
next of kin of the deceased since you are from the
same country and you share the same last name so that
the proceeds of this account valued at US$11 million
dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can
share the money. 50% to me and 40% to you, while 10%
should be for expenses or tax as your government may
require.
An attorney will be contracted to help revalidated and
notarize all the 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 see this deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under
a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from
any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me by
my email to Enable us discuss further and also send
your telephone and fax numbers for easy communication.
Send your reply to my private email address:

Best regards,
Mr. Jeffrey Ekwome.
