I am Leslie Douglas, a lawyer by profession. I am soliciting your involvement in a deal that will be of great mutual benefits between both of us.

On the 21st of April 2009, my client, his wife and their only child were involved in a car accident and later died of internal bleeding. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their live, (may their gentle souls rest in peace) Amen. Since then, I have made several inquiries to locate any of my client抯 extended family relatives but have proved unsuccessful. I came to know about you through an inquiry I was making in the Internet, and I found out that you shared the same surname with my late (dead) client.

Therefore, I am contacting you in order to assist in transferring the money and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank.Your assistance is important and urgent because of the commercial banks where my late client had a domiciliary account valued for Nine Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only (US$9,500,000.00) has already issued me a notice to provide his Next of Kin or have the account confiscated within the next 30 days.

Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relative for over 2 years now, I hereby seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to my late client since you have the same family (last name), so that the US$9,500,000.00 can be paid to you for onward investment into any areas of business you deem viable for a minimum period of 2 years to enable me continue my search for his Next of Kin. Note that I shall prepare legal documentations that will enable you have 40% of the total sum, which amount to US$3,800,000.00; be also assured that this deal is 100% risk free.

I guarantee that this transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. All I required is your honest co-operation and utmost CONFIDENTIALITY to enable us sees this business through.Please, get in touch with me by telephone or fax to enable us discuss further about the details of this transaction.Send your response to my most private email address; [email protected]

If this business proposition offends your moral values, do accept my apology.

Yours truly,
Barr. Leslie Douglas

I don't think its all that believable, as others have said, the email address @AOL stands out like a sore thumb and some of the wording is just bad english IMO

"specially instructed by the Office of the new Prime Minister( David Cameron) to embark on a personal review"

Nobody says "specially instructed" or "embark" anymore, regardless of how official they're trying to be

I've been having a few from 'PayPal' asking me to check my online balance. It looks fairly legitemate but then at the bottom says 'you know this is not a scam as we have used your real name' which just reeks of fishiness to me.
