I am Peter Choung, an attorney at law. A deceased client of mine, that shares the same last name as yours died as the result of a heart-related condition on March 12th 2005. His heart condition was due to the death of all the members of his family in the tsunami disaster on the 26th December 2004 in Sumatra Indonesia. And in the record there is no known successor to this deposit of the deceased who died without a will.

I have contacted you to assist in distributing the money left behind by my client before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this deposit valued at Eighteen million dollars is (US$18million dollars) lodged. This bank has issued me a notice to contact the next of kin; I can be reached at choungpeter@yahoo.com.hk for more information.

Best regards,
Peter Choung
========================

i think fraud...
His email address is a yahoo not a company.
They aren't supposed to disclose figures.
Why contact me through email and not electoral role.

Use to deal with this all the time when i work in the bank, they will then email you saying that due to the laws in the country where the money is coming from you need to pay the tax before its released. Once you pay the 'tax' all of a sudden the emails stop and disappears. lol.
