From: Barrister Walter Ashdown 

Hello ,

     How are you doing today,i do regret to tell you that Mrs Maria Johnson
is late and she did not survive the operation last night so sad,but i know
wherever she is she would be glad that she contacted a trusted person like
you and also the good news is  to inform you that
i have presented the documents along side your identity to the bank for
authorization of the transfer,but we need to get something done ASAP which
is necessary for the transaction which is the affidavits of next of kin.on
late Maria Johnson behalf the affidavits need to be
sworn and presented to the bank as part document and transfer authorization.

    This document has to be sworn in the court of justice state Birmingham
and it would cost $380 USD,at this present stage everything has been going
on smoothly and the transaction. as soon as we can get this Affidavits to
the bank then they can authorize to us the mode of transfer of funds to
you.this has to be done fast because i found out that Mrs Maria Johnson
funds is in a Dormant/Es-crew account and without things done fast the
British government will seize the funds and all our efforts will be put to
waste.

   I need to hear from you urgently so we can proceed on the matter
at hand.hope your day has been going well.

Regards

Barr.Walter Ash-down.

The above is the actual scammer email received. It has been scrubbed of recipient information.
If you received an email like this you have several choices.

Ignore the scammer. Do not respond to emails. Just delete them.
Respond, but only to lead the scammer on--to get a counterfeit check, to report stolen credit card numbers, and to waste the scammer's time. Time spent trying to scam you is time not spent scamming someone else.
Report the scammer to us and we'll post their emails so others will know about that scammer.

Whichever option you choose make sure you do the following:

DO NOT educate the scammer in any way. Educating a scammer makes them better at scamming the next person.
DO NOT let the scammer know that YOU KNOW they are a scammer. The scammer will always be nice to you if they think there's a chance they may still be able to scam you. If they know they've been discovered they will often threaten you. Their threats are empty, but are scary to some people.
DO NOT give the scammer any personal information that they cannot find in a phone book (name, address, and phone.) Feel free to give them lots of incorrect information.

For more information you may contact us by email, or by email form.
