Dear Friend Inheritance.
I am highly delighted to be in contact with you and sorry for the embarrassment
this mail might be to you as we have not met or known each other before. My name
is Attorney Mr.Jonathan Small I was the Personal Attorney to Late Mr. Roy Hall a
National of Your country and a contractor who spend most of his life in my
country England, UK.He and his Family were involved in a car accident along
Manchester Stretch and unfortunately lost their lives on the 27th day of
September 2003 in London.
Since then I have made several inquiries to your country’s embassy to
locate any of my Client’s extended relatives but this has proved
unsuccessful hence, he has no next-of-kin at the time of his death. After these
several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact you since all my effort
to trace or locate any member of his family failed me so that you as a foreigner
will assist me as my late Client’s Next-of-kin in repatriating the assets
and Capital valued at US$22, Million left behind by my late Client Before it
gets confiscated by the bank where this huge deposit was lodged.
The said Bank in London has issued me a notice to provide the Next of Kin or
have the deposit confiscated. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating any of
my Client’s relatives for over four years and two months now, I seek your
consent to present you as the Next-of-kin to the deceased, so that the deposit
can be paid to you therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall
then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for claim.
I have all the necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up
for the claim. All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us
see this transaction through. I guarantee you that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law both in
UK, your Country and internationally.
I will be very happy to hear from you, I have agreed to part with 50%
percentage of the total amount as your own share of the money for assisting me
in this deal.We shall also map out percentage of this money to take care of
incidental expenses that may arise in the course of this transaction.
Immediately this fund is being remitted into your account, note that high degree
of trust is required from you
Thank you in anticipation of your co-operation.
Awaiting your response urgently.
Best regards,
Att Jonathan Small

I have about eight emails like this they are from the uk and nigeria i have the contacts saved on my email how do i report them and give then to the proper authorities. one of them even said they were with the FBI and the nigerian government.
I know someone who is falling for one of these scams. They have sent over 100k already and thinks she will need to send more. Are there any authorities that can help as she is not willing to believe this is fraud? There may be a way to catch these SOBs since she is still in process with them. Please help!
