Here’s a good phishing email. One of the things you will learn that when they start of with “Hello Friend”, “Dear Sir”, they don’t have a clue who you are, but are hoping that you will answer them.
*********************************************
Hello Friend,
Hope you are doing great and sound? I am Dr. Norman
Kenneth de Andrade Barrister at law and attorney to
late Goethem Haemer, a Greek Merchant otherwise known
as my client who was based in the United Kingdom and
died of complications from injuries sustained after a
ghastly motor accident.
As the attorney to Sir Goethem Haemer I was his
confidant as he shared with me virtually everything
about himself, his business and family. I was his
attorney for 15 years and during that period I wrote
his WILL and was also named as the executor, which has
since been fulfilled. I am also aware due to my
closeness to him that the amount of 22 Million Euros
he deposited with a bank in Europe was not willed out.
He told me about this on his sick bed and even instructed
that I should prepare a codicil to that effect,
however before I could finish my work he had died.
After his death, funeral and subsequent execution of
his will I went into action to ascertain the
information passed unto me by my client. My
investigation conformed to the information; at that
point I knew I had to do something to move the funds
out of the bank and knowing that I cannot do this
alone I have decided to contact you and seek your
assistance and acceptance to be the next of kin to the
estate. It is necessary for us to move the money out
of the bank now because if we do not do this within
the next two years the bank would regard the money as
sundry funds, which becomes as good as their own
money.
I cannot move the money in my name because he was my
client, for it could arouse suspicion thus the
importance of your assistance. Have my assurance that
there is nothing to fear about, as I also need your
assurance that you would work with me without fear or
favour to achieve our desired objective. The legal
back up is no problem for I would be responsible.
Since the codicil was not ready before his death,
Letters of Administration without Will, would be
secured from the probate office, with this document
granting probate rights in your favour I would
personally apply on your behalf to the bank for the
release of the funds to you.
What I require from you to enable us achieve the above
are your:
Full and Official Names
Address
Date of Birth
Telephone and Fax numbers
Upon receipt of a confirmation of acceptance from you,
a sharing ratio would be worked out between us on the
most liberal terms magnanimous terms.
Take care and have a nice day.
Sincerely,
Norman Kenneth de Andrade
Norman + Associates

Boy, what a shame. I am sure his family will have no problem with the extra money. For someone who is calling you their friend, sure seems strange that they now need your full name??? Giving him this information, will surely start to lead to some sort of identity theft.
Be smart to these phishing emails and don’t become a victim to identity theft.
