I am blessed with this email scam. I actually received an offer from the Human Resources Executive from Atlantic Oil. This must be legit because an HR Exec from Atlantic Oil wouldn’t lie. I’m not quite sure where Atlantic Oil matches up to the other big oil companies but I’m certain it’s right up there with Shell and BP. This scammer tells me that poor old Philips Lob died in a plane crash and his only relative died of cancer a couple of months before, so out of the kindness of their hearts they decided to give me his inheritance of $12 million dollars. What a tragic story.
I am totally touched by the generosity of these fine executives of a major oil company. At the end of the email is my reply.

Dear Sir/Madam, I am Fredrick Ola, the Human Resources Executive of Atlantic Oil & Gas Corporation. On the 15th of May 2003, Philips lob, an expatriate, who was a consultant/contractor with the Corporation, was found to have died in a plane crash along the Lekki Peninsula while on inspection tour of offshore oil facilities belonging to the Corporation.As the Welfare Director of the corporation, I contacted Philips bankers and briefed them of this development. The bankers informed me that since their client is dead, it is only the next of kin to the deceased with the proper legal documents that can compel them to pay his fixed deposit as an inherited estate. With the position of the financial outfit, I mandated the legal department of our firm to search for a relative of the deceased so that he can be presented as the next of kin to the bank.
But the only relative of the deceased, one Mr. Sam Leonard who was also the next of kin to the deceased according to his bank documents and who was last known to have lived in Latvia Eastern Europe, died as cancer patient some two months before his death. All efforts to trace other relatives of the deceased proved abortive, as all available links were exhusted. Three years after his death, with no news from any relative living anywhere and no one coming forward, we decided to seek a foreigner so that the fund can be transferred out of its present account to yours.
The account deposit contains US$12 million United States Dollars and it is important that a probable next of kin claims this fund within the next fourteen official working days. If no one comes for the claim before the stipulated time frame, the account would be closed as inactive and dormant and funds sent to the coffers of the government. This is in consonance with the stipulations of the enabling laws governing foreign inherited estates. I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased.This would facilitate the payment of the proceeds of the said account to you. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect all the parties involved from any breach of the law.
Please let me know what you intend to have as your commission if you agree to embark on this venture.
Please reply me via my private email address

Best Regards,
Fredrick Ola.
My reply:
Dear Fred,
My name is Philips lob I am the expatriate, who was a consultant/contractor. What are you trying to do by giving away my money? You have your facts all wrong. I survived the plane crash on Lekki Peninsula and lived the last 6 years on a deserted island eating coconuts and sea snakes. Just as my food was running out, Tom Hanks came drifting by on a raft and saved me.
I believe you are also mistaken about Sam’s passing. It was his son who died while in prison. We all knew him as the Son of Sam.
Freddy, keep your filthy hands off of my cash. It’s apparent that just like Enron, you oil executives are doing your best to screw the company’s hard workers out of their retirement. I almost gave up my life while working for the Atlantic Oil & Gas Corporation and this is the thanks I get?
If you are set on helping someone recoup an inheritance, I’m sure Michael Jackson’s kids could use your services.
I am heading to the bank right now to withdraw my $12 million and will be moving to Rio so I can get good seats for the 2016 Olympics. Hope to see you there!
Phil
