I didn't pay much attention. I eraised that mail. Then he answered this: " My daughter,i am writing you with my private email address,you are just of the same age with my daughter and i am also trying to make this claim just to help her educational background,i am a matured man with children and i have worked with the same bank for so many years now,i just got this opportunity when i was given the audit manager of the bank,and i decided to utilize it to help my self and my children after my retirement that is fast approaching.

You are coming into this transaction as the deceased customer business partner and you will be playing the role of next of kin to the bank late customer as his legal next of kin, these gives you the room to inherit his fund without any doubt from the bank management.There is no doubt about your inability as the legal next of kin to the deceased customer and owner of the account number 2637578-2341 with the following reasons: (a) Before the death of the deceased customer, his true next of kin was not indicated to the board of directors of this bank because of the top secrecy and confidentiality of the transactions which the late customer transacted with the various governments in West Africa For the above reasons, the managements of the bank authorized me officially as the executive manager of audit and accounting department of this bank, to verify the next of kin to our deceased customer. Therefore, the bank will always abide by my official directions through the official authorization bestowed on me.And for this reasons you have nothing to fear as your interest and identity will be legally protected.

And I don't think I have given this account to anyone (I made it just to ask in Y!A). I want to know why he may have sent me that message. Is he willing to steal my identity or what???

Answer:
It is a scam to get your personal information and/or money. Do not respond to it. Report it to yahoo, so they are aware. Forward to [email protected] or [email protected] (If it involves a lot of money) And for your E-mail safety, remember: Never open E-mail unless you are absolutely sure of who sent it, treat ALL others as spam. Never give your personal information out to anyone, be it E-mail, snail mail, phone calls or at your front door.

he's trying to get you to hand over your ID information most likely to escape an impoverished country and move to yours (america) pretending to be you so he won't technically be an 'illegal.' You know...because he will be you.
