Peter Van Smith wants to share some loot with you

Peter is openly asking you to commit fraud. He wants you to act as next of kin to a stranger. The only problem is, the money he's talking about does not exist.

As usual he is only interested in getting "your" money.

Be informed that there is no risk involved as all necessary legaldocument which will be used to back you up as the legal beneficiary andnext of kin of my late client will be procured.

All I require is your sincerity, honesty, co-operation and utmost goodfaiths to enable us see this deal through.
