i have had a similar email as shown below tell me what do they get out of this junkin up peoples emails all the while

From : Mr . ROBINSON COOPER
Tele/Fax: +447031894421
E-mail:( urgtcon@gmail.com )

Attention : The CEO,

RE: TRANSFER OF [£36,759,000.00 MILLION POUNDS TO YOUR ACCOUNT].

My name is Mr . ROBINSON COOPER , and I work in the International Operation Department in a Bank here in London. I feel quite safe dealing with you in this important business. Though, this medium (Internet) has been greatly abused; I choose to reach you through it because it still remains the fastest medium of communication. However, this correspondence is unofficial and private, and it should be treated as such.

At first I will like to assure you that this transaction is 100% risk and trouble free to both parties. We want to transfer out money from our bank here in London. The fund for transfer is of clean origin.

The owner of this account is a foreigner, a program leader. Until his death, he was the Prime Minister of Lebanon, Mr. Rafik Bahaa Edine Hariri has a huge investment here in the United Kingdom and all over the world, as a matter of fact he has the sum of (Thirty Six Million Seven Hundred and Fifty Nine Thousand Pounds Sterlings Only) in his account here in London which he deposited as a family valuables. His family does not know about this deposit.

I was on a routine inspection that I discovered a dormant domiciliary account with a bal of (Thirty Six Million Seven Hundred and Fifty Nine Thousand Pounds Sterlings Only) on further discreet investigation, I also discovered that the account holder has passed away (dead) leaving no beneficiary to the account. The bank will approve this money to any foreigner because the former operator of the a/c is a foreigner. I am certainly sure that nobody will come again for the claim of this money. A foreigner can only claim this money with legal claims to the account holder; therefore I need your cooperation in this transaction. I will provide all necessary information needed in order to claim this money, hoping in God that you will never let me down now and in the future.

Rafik Bahaa Edine Hariri (November 1, 1944 - February 14,05), married to Nazek Audi Hariri, was a Lebanese self- made millionaire and business tycoon, and was five times Prime Minister of Lebanon (1992-1998 and 00-2004) before his last resignation from office on October, 2004. The late Mr. Rafik Bahaa Edine Hariri died on the 14th day of February, 2005 when explosives equivalent to around 300 kg of C4 were detonated as his motorcade drove past the Saint George Hotel in the Lebanese capital, for more information please log on to (http://www.hariri.info).

I want to transfer this money into a safe foreign account abroad but I dont know any foreigner whom I can trust, I know that this message will come to you as a surprise, as we dont know each other before, but be sure that it is real and genuine business.

I am contacting you as a foreigner without knowing your business integrity believing in God that you will never let me down in the future once the fund goes into your account.

Let me hear from you urgently.


Yours Faithfully,

Mr . ROBINSON COOPER.
