Government Dirt

I received an email a few days ago from "Mr. Stephen Webster." It actually went to my spam box, but I dutifully fished it out and decided to read it.

Good thing I did because the death of a "great industrialist," Mr. Kurt Kahle, his wife and son in 200 will be Stephen and my gain! He left "No beneficiary to the account," and getting the money will be "100% risk free."

I am posting the emails that I send and receive from "Mr. Stephen Webster" online in the hopes that others will enjoy and might avoid this Stephen in the future.

By the way, if you have suggestions of things I can ask him that would be great - just add them to the comments!

I will continue posting as we continue conversing.

Stephen,

Thanks for the info.

I am married as well and with one daughter. My wife and I are very excited with the possibility of helping you and earning some money as well!

I have attached a picture of me and my family. It is always good to know who you are doing business with. I am on the left and my wife is in the burgundy dress and our daughter Peggy Sue is in pig tails. My parents, uncle and his wife are also in the picture.

Do you have a picture of yourself with your family?

You have been working with he bank for so long! I run my own business an oil drilling firm.

So the money has just been sitting in the account? Is it 15 or 20 million pounds? Sounds like a real tragedy how they died. Does the money just stay in the account? There is no one who can claim it?

I will mail you the information you requested. Should I send it to your office or home address? I don't want to send it via email because you never know who might see it. But by mail I know that it will be safe in your hands.

Please send me more information about you so I can feel more comfortable. By the way, do you want to move to the United States when we are done with this transaction? Here, in Texas, you can get a great piece of land for a small piece of your share!

Steve
