Free Money, I don't think so

I received an e-mail today (see below) and i thought i would share it with you. I wrote back to this guy and told him i didn't want the money and to donate it all to charity (I'm all heart). I also said that if it would save time would it be easier if i just sent him my bank details and pin number. Suprisingly he answered almost immediately .... strange that.

From The Desk Of:
The Auditor General:
Korea Exchange Bank,
30 Old Jewry
London
EC2R 8EB.

ATTN:Martin Wilmott,

I am Dr Edward Organ. The Auditor General Korea Exchange Bank London. In the course of our auditing I discovered a floating fund in an account in the Bank company which was opened in 1990 belonging to a dead foreigner late Mr. Mark -Wilmott(untill his death),used to be a private contractor with the Shell Petroleum Development Company in Saudi Arabia. He was involved in an auto crash, unfortunately led to his demise.

Since then, I have made several enquiries with his country embassies to locate any of his extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.I decided to track his last name
over the Internet, to locate any member of his family
hence I got in contact with you. I have contacted you to Quietly assist me in repatriating this huge amount of money left behind by the deceased in my Bank before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the BANK/INSTITUTION. The deceased had a deposit presently valued at USD25.2 million.

After going through the company records and files, I
discovered that :
(1) No one has operated this account since 1993; (2)
The owner of the account died without a heir, hence
the money has been floating. (3) No other person knows
about this account and there was no known beneficiary.
AND IF I DO NOT REMIT THIS MONEY URGENTLY, IT WOULD BE
FORFEITED FOR NOTHING.
This money can only be approved to a foreign
beneficiary with a valid international passport or
driver's license and an account, hence I am contacting
you. I will require your urgent reply so that I give
you the next step
I am willing to give you 15% of the entire funds.

All I require 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 from any breach of the law.
All I ask from you is the following:
1. Your full name
2. your telephone/mobile and fax numbers
3. your physical Address.
Your urgent response will be highly anticipated and appreciated.
Best regard.
Dr Edward Organ.

    Hi there, I actually just stumbled across your blog after Googling that "Auditor General: Korea Exchange Bank" guy, because I just received the same e-mail. (BTW, my last name, of course, isn't even close to yours). Fun world huh? I wonder how many people actually sent back their info...

    Cheers.
