What's behind this $10M+ offer

TULSA - Evelyn wanted our help getting a warning out to others.

She sent a letter she recently received along with a note saying    "I'm 92 years of age and receive many scam letters but this one is so bizarre I had to share it."
    
The letter claims to be from an attorney trying to re-home more than $10 million of his deceased client's money.

The reason given for contacting Evelyn? She shares the same last name as the supposedly recently deceased.

After explaining how the attorney will bend the law to be sure he and Evelyn can split the cash the letter reads   "If this business proposition offends your moral ethics, do accept my sincere apology."

Apologizing for offending someone by soliciting them to commit fraud is only one of the strange things in the letter.

The address claims to be in Canada but the internet country code is for Moldova.

It also states Evelyn must keep the transaction "utterly confidential and top secret".   Evelyn had no problem sharing the letter with 2NEWS in hopes of keeping someone else from getting involved in the scheme.

Remember if you get any letter or email promising you money that leads to asking for personal information such as social security or bank account numbers don't hand them over and stop any communication immediately.
