John Cole Esq
HEAR IS THE INTIAL EMAIL THAT WAS SENT TO HER. THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL EMAILS BACK AND FORTH.
Hello, Please, kindly take your time to understand the content of this email. I wish to introduce you to a project that would be of immense benefit to both of us. Being an executor of wills, it is possible that we may be tempted to make fortune out of our client's situations, when we cannot help it, or left with no better option. The issue I am presenting to you is a case of my client who willed a fortune to his next-of-kin. It was most unfortunate that he and his next-of-kin died on the same day in an auto-crash. I am now faced with indecision about who to pass the fortune to. According to the English law, the fortune is supposed to be queathed to the government. However, I don't belong to that school of thought which proposes that the fortune of unlucky people be given to the government. I therefore seek for your assistance in presenting you as next of Kin to the deceaced being that you share the same last name with the deceased. Please give your response to this email via return email. I will reveal other details upon your response to this email and as soon as we establish correspondance. Reward is negotiable. Yours in Service JOHN COLE Esq. Financial Attorney john.cole01a@yahoo.fr

Here is a list of scam emails similar to hers that can show her how widespread this is LINK
As you have noticed...the email was not addressed to anybody in paticular.This is because it was sent to thousands of people.Your Mother in law is not alone in this "plea for help" Also,the "lawyers' address is yahoo.com NO reputable law firm would use a free throwaway email address.Instead they would use something like Lawyername@lawyerswebsite.com There is no inheritance,there is no lawyer,there is just a scammer posing as a lawyer trying to get people to pay for administration to move large amounts of money The scammer will have an answer to every question before you ask it so do not try and play him at his own game. If she was to open up another free email address and mail the scammer under a different name...he would send her the same responses I hope this helps persuade her...just shout if you need anything else
