Who is this?
-Hello Megan
Thank you for your response. We contacted you via text message because we have been in search for a relative of our late client . We have been very unsuccessful so far as we have searched Facebook, online telephone directories and other resources.
We cannot ascertain if you are directly related to the late Andrew Hughson but we are taking a chance to contact you because you bear the same last names with him. He has roots from Ontario, Canada and lived in Thailand for well over 12 years.
Until his death, he had vast investments in the Oil sector in Qatar.He was aged 59, never married and had no kids. He died in the 2011 earthquake in Japan. His financial investments in one of the banks are on the verge of being declared non-transferable.
We are in dire need to file for the release of this inheritance funds in value of US$10.5 Million. In the event that you are not in any way related to him, we humbly ask for your assistance in partnering with us to get the funds released in your name. We had a legal tussle with the financial institution where the funds were invested and the recent court ruling swung in our favor. The bank has been mandated to release the funds to anyone we bring forward. Because you bear the same last
names as Andrew, it becomes easy to present you as his next of kin for this inheritance. As executors of his estate, we are poised to see that the funds are not held back by the bank.
I'm proposing 40% of the funds to you when we get it out. I sincerely hope this is something you can partner with us on. We do not have time on our hands as we need to file a claim immediately.
To enable us take action on this, we need to verify the following information:
1. FULL NAMES
2. CONTACT MAILING ADDRESS
3. OCCUPATION.
4. CONFIRMATION OF YOUR MOBILE NUMBER
Hoping to hear back from you soon.

my reply:
You should probably get a real job.
If you want Canadian money I bet you could get one of those migrant worker jobs in the Alberta oilsands! Actually if you send me your name and where you are really from I can try and help you get one! I know people up there! Just think about it. I would even try and make sure they gave you the same wages and benefits as a Canadian because I think that's only fair. Let me know what you think.
His reply:
Hi Megan,
My sincere apologies for attempting fraud. I know it is a shameful thing to do and I'm not one bit proud of myself.
I'm truly touched that you intend to give me a chance to get a real job. To be honest, I definitely would love to make a decent living. It is just a deplorable the situation I find myself. I'm a graduate with a good university degree and yet it hasn't be easy getting a job. I have tried for many years and it comes down to nothing.
I can go on to share my rather pitiful story but I guess I shouldn't bore you with all of that. Yes, I googled the Alberta Oil Sands Inc. They have a large drilling project going on. I have always been fascinated by the prospects the oil and gas/energy sector have in the offering. I even started a training course in Project Management ( sometime ago) with the intention of being a certified Project Management Professional with the PMI.
I consider myself very ambitious, smart and intelligent. Sadly, where I'm from, there isn't the enabling environment to propel me to great heights .
If you are really serious you of your good intentions to assist me get a migrant job in Alberta, Canada, then you have no idea how forever grateful I will be.
Please write me back. Again, thank you so much for the kind thoughts.
 didn't see that one coming.. lol
