Hope you receive this message!!!

On behalf of the Trustees and Executor of the estate of Late Michael Jackson. I once again try to notify you as my earlier letter were returned undelivered. I wish to notify you that late King of Pop. Michael Jackson made you a beneficiary to his WILL. He left the sum of Five Million, Dollars (USD$5,000.000.00) to you in the Codicil and last testament to his WILL. This may sound strange and unbelievable to you, but it is real and true. Being widely entertainer, he must have been in contact with you in the past or simply you were nominated to him by one of his numerous fans abroad who wished you good. Late Michael Joseph Jackson until his death was a member "MJFC" The Michael Jackson Fan Club and the Institute of entertainer. Please if I reach you as I am hopeful, endeavor to get back to me as soon as possible to enable me conclude my job. You are advice to contact me with my personal email: barrjohnbranca (at)live.co.uk

I think this may not be legitimate because it did not originate from Nigeria.

Now that's interesting. Where all does the barrister practice law, last week he sent me an email telling me a good friend of mine in Kenya had passed away and they needed to expedite his estate and transfer funds to me (some absurd amount that I cannot remember). However, my first contact with Mr. Branca was when he was working for the FBI and wanted me to contact him reference a friend who had passed away in Johannesburg before he could make it back to the US and him leaving me a huge sum of money. <sigh> I know, I have a lot of friends with lots of money that have died. But don't weep for me!
