Sample e-mail from Andrew Pick

This is an example of a fraudulent e-mail re promising a huge inheritance through an African bank, on the condition that some steep administrative fees are paid upfront. Naturally, as soon as the victim pays such fees, this is the end of the inheritance scheme.

Dear sir,
