I received this email 14 hours ago and I wanted to get your opinion:

Dear Peggy Menke,

Thanks for your quick response. Actually I am Joan Lilian Rostron; I worked as an internal auditor with Barclays Bank Pl c Mexico (Mexico Tower Mayor Paseo Reform 505 Floor 41 Cuauhtmoc Mexico D. FCP 06500) from 1999 – 2006 year ending. I was later transferred in 2007 to Greater London EC1A 7AJ United Kingdom, were I am still working till date.

During the course of my auditing some time in 2007 on my resumption at Greater London, I discovered a floating fund in an account opened in our bank since 1982 which has not been operated since 2004. After going through old record files I discovered that a customer by nameEngr. Andre Sulan Menke operated that account.

My further investigation revealed that a Cambrian Coast Line, Penrhyndeudraeth, 2 September 2003. Network Rail locomotive 97303 hit his car on a private level crossing just west of Penrhyndeudraeth station while working an ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System) test, killing the car's occupants, Engr. Andre Sulan Menke, his wife Sophia. Engr. Andre Sulan Menke used to be a private contractor with Belfast Aero Bombardier Transportation, who lived in a house only accessible via the level crossing.

Since then, I have made several inquiries to locate any of his extended relatives, this has also proven unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact you with this business partnership proposal. I contacted you to assist in repatriating the huge amount of money left behind by Engr. Andre Sulan Menke, before they get it confiscated or declared unserviceable by my bank. I came to know about you in my search for a person who shares the same last name with my late client. I employed the service of LinkedIn search solely for this purpose as I feel it would not have been the last wish of my late client for his whole savings to be transferred to a government (Es cheat). He always complained of their unfavorable public monetary policies and taxes while he was alive.

I will meet and discussed with a trusted lawyer as I have already mapped out the modalities for getting the money out of the bank once I have a good and trusted person who can present himself as the next of kin and beneficiary of the funds as all the relevant documents relating to the account is with me. The deceased had a deposit valued presently at 22.7 Million GBP with my branch, Barclays Bank Plc (Greater London EC1A 7AJ United Kingdom) and my Bank has issued a notice to this effect to provide next of kin or beneficiary otherwise have the account confiscated within the next Fourteen (14) official working days. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over four years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin & beneficiary to the deceased, so that the proceeds of this account valued at 22.7 Million GBP can be paid through you.

After a successful transfer of the funds I propose that, we will split the proceeds 50:50 and I have decided to plough my share of the fund immediately it is transferred out into our account into any viable investment project in your economy, what area of investment interest will you advice that will yield a maximum profit over the time?.

I have all the means to provide all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up the claim. All that I required from you is your honest co-operation; confidentiality and trust 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 here in UK or in your country.

Please get in touch with me urgently and provide the following information to enable the lawyer prepare the necessary claim appraisal and file application for the claim of the fund from my Bank. I will attach my ID in my next mail for authenticity so we have equal ground to trust each other. I will send you more information directing you on further procedure on how we can claim the money in the account successfully

Send to me the following information should you be interested, otherwise you should not bother to respond to this email.

1. Name in full-----------------------------

2. Home Address----------------------------------

3. Nationality ------------------------------

4. Age--------------------------------------

5. Occupation/Position-------------------------------

This lady contacted my with a proposal on Linkedin and ask me to email her through a outlook email. I think it's a scam but I just want to know what you think. Any comments will be appreciated.

Thanks! Peggy

Thanks to all that responded, I'm glad I didn't go any further.
