    Hi there I have just got the same type of letter wanting me to use my surname so that they can have a "diplomatic consignment" released valued at $us 8.7 million.
    The person who left it was drowned along with his wife and all members of his family in the Boxing Day Tsunami. If it is not claimed then the whole amount is confisicated.
    The letter came from CBL LAWYERS & PARTNERS Madrid Spain and Don Bufete Leon is the "Lawyer" handling the case.
    I was first suspicious even before I opened it as there was no return address on either the front or reverse of the envelope.

    @post204: I'll take both of the letters to the local police station, but I doubt there will be much action taken... It would be nice to be able warn other people about it, as there is bound to be people taking up on the scammers' offer. I wonder go they go about reactions to their extensive mailings?

    Angry SANTIAGO LAW CHAMBERS $ 8,650, 000.00 (Eight Million, Six Hundred & Fifty Thousand US

    Attn: ____ Rosen,

    Before I proceed, I must first apologize for this unsolicited mail to you. I am aware that this is certainly not a conventional way of approach to establish a relationship of trust, but you will realize the need for my action. My name is Barrister Louis P. Petrich of Santiago Law Chambers. Actually, I got your contact information through your consulate while searching for a last name similar to my late client Eng. Palmer Rosen an expatriate engineer who worked with the Construction & Civil Engineering Company (Mota-Engil) in Portugal for thirteen years. He died along with his family during a car Accident, which occurred on Sunday 21st November 2004.

    Before his death, he deposited $ 8,650, 000.00 (Eight Million, Six Hundred & Fifty Thousand US Dollar Only) with one of the bank here in Portugal & the Bank has issued me a notice to present the next of kin or any of the relatives, or the account will be declared unserviceable and the fund diverted to the Bank treasury. So far all my efforts to get a hold of someone related to my client have proved abortive. The bank has mandated me to present any family heir/inheritor for claim before the fund gets confiscated or reverts to the Government Recovery Fund, as unclaimed money. So I decided to search for any of my late client's relative which has been very difficult for me, as he did not declare any other person, address, partner or relatives in the official paper works of his deposit.

    Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Eng. Palmer Rosen since you both share the same last name so that the fund will be transfer to you. With my position as his lawyer, I will now place your name ____ Rosen as the next of kin/distance relative to my late client. I will prepare every relevant document that will assist your claims, and facilitate the release of the fund.

    Note that this transaction is 100% risk free. There is no atom of risk in connection to this business as I have worked out all modalities to complete the transaction successfully. Once the fund is transferred into your account, we shall share in the ratio of 50% for me, 50% for you as your benefit. Reply with your phone number via my fax/email address stated above or you can call me for further clarification. Please be kind to get back to me if you are not interested so that I can further my search for another partner.



    At Your Service,

    Default Geraldo Balfour Asociado S.A.

    Received a letter today from Spain for €4,500,000.00 from a late relative in Spain.
    10% to be shared among charity organizations, 90% to be split between him an myself.

    Letterhead and logo are printed on the paper, so no good quality company paper, stamp on the envelop is from Spain.

    So be warned, they are also sending them out in the Netherlands. Though I'm slightly worried I'm receiving letters at my home address.

    my mother received the same letter today supposedly from a lawyer from Sevilla, Spain(with a sevilla stamp and everything). We also live in Sweden with Chilean family but Spanish heritage. The letter said that a late relative died and she was the only one with the same last name he could find. Our last name is actually really common in spain and in most spanish speaking countries, so just writing that made us suspicious.
    The biggest mistake was that we know our family tree very well and there was no one whit that particular name.

    The supposedly name of the lawyer was "Barrister Mr. Geraldo Balfour", and the company he worked in was "Geraldo Balfour Asociados".

    So just to warn others of the same thing as the rest here. Don't fall for the scams of big heritage before you look up the name of the lawyer on google.
