Answer 1

Don't respond! They will try to steal money from you. They are swindlers.

This is similar to the classic Nigerian scam - http://www.snopes.com/crime/fraud/nigeria.asp

By the way, a barrister is a kind of lawyer in the British legal system. Unlike in the U.S., the British system distinguishes between lawyers whose main function is to appear in court (barristers, because they appear before the "bar") and lawyers who primarily do other things (solicitors).

Answer 2

You are a next to kin to a dead person in Nigeria? Is this a new fairy tale for you???This is a common big scam as they want info from you to rob you blind!!

Answer 3

Dont respond they are known as 419 scam i recieved one of those emails and make sure you dont give out your email adressess

Answer 4

I would go for it, whatcha got to lose. Make sure you discuss your precentage and be sure you write everyone's name down. In case he wants to run off with all the money....... I would make it clear that I would report him if that was the case.

Go for it......... and when you get rich...... don't forget your poor sister on the other side of the country ;o)

Love ya sis,
take care,
Barbara

Answer 5
