As you probably know, a bunch of us have put together a "Celebration of Life," that life belonging to our friend, the late Michael Schlesinger. To that end, we are accepting RSVPs at celebrateschlesinger@gmail.com. At that address, we recently received the following e-mail…
Dear celebrateschlesinger,
I am Barrister William Douglas, I contacted you over the claim of deposit made by my deceased client who shares the same last name with you as enshrined in his deposit agreement, I want you to assist me in receiving this amount of US$12.5 million in your designated bank account as beneficiary to my deceased client who died in a ghastly accident with his wife and only child, I have been searching for his close relative's over the years but all my attempts proved futile, Presently the bank has issued urgent notice to me as the deceased Attorney to present a beneficiary with the same last name, or they will go ahead in confiscating his account as unclaimed assets, I will provide all the relevant documents and information relating to the deposit that will enable the bank to release and transfer the funds to you without lapses, I will offer you 50% of the total amount, confidential and 100% risk-free. reply immediately.
Yours Sincerely,
Barrister William Douglas.
Sounds legit to me. I mean, the guy's a barrister, right?
