I got this by email:



Dear Friend
I am Barr James Mughal,a solicitor atlaw,personal
Lawyer to Mr J.P [ my last name ] a National of your country.
who used to work with Shell Development Company in
Lome as a contractor,herein after shall be
referred to as my client. On the 21st of April 2003,
my client was involved in a car accident along
Nouvissi express Road.All occupantsof the vehicle
including his wife and only child unfortunately lost
their lives.

Since then i have made several enquiries to your
embassy here to locate any of my clients extended
relatives in his home country, this has also proved unsuccessful.

After these several unsuccessful attempts,I decided to
track his last name overthe Internet,to locate any
member of his family hence I contacted you.I have
contacted you to assist in claiming andrepartriating
the fund valued at (US$20.5 M) twenty million
five hundred thousand dollars left behind by my
client before it gets confiscated or declared
unserviceable where this huge amount was deposited.The
said Btci Togolaise has for sometime now
issued me a notice to provide the next of kin of my
client or his account shall be declared dormant or
possibly confiscated.

Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the
relatives for over 2years now, I seek the consent to
present you as the next of kin to the deceased since
you have the same last names,so that the proceeds of
this account can be paid to you.

Therefore, on receipt of your positive response,we
shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities
for transfer.I have all necessary information and
legal documents needed to back you up for claim.

All I require from you is your honest cooperation to
enable us see this transaction through.I guarantee
that this will be executed under legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of
the law. Please get in touch with me through the above
e-mail for more details.

Best Regards.
James Mughal (Esq).

Dutch. -- The Iroquoian tribes of New York called a Dutchman aseronni, a term identical with onseronni, by which the Mohawk of Lake of Two Mountains, Quebec, designate a Frenchman to-day. Its literal signification seems to be 'maker of hatchets.' The Iroquois used the word as an adjective to designate several things, as ooskah asseroni 'flax,' in Onondaga, literally, 'Dutchman's thread'; ossaheta asseroni, 'peas,' literally, 'Dutch beans' (Beauchamp in Jour. Am. Folk-lore, xv, 96, 98, 1902). The Delawares of New Jersey called the Dutch by a name spelled by the early writers swannekins. Without the English s this is evidently identical with the Delaware schwonnachquin, 'white people,' literally, 'people from the salt sea (schwon),' a term used to designate Europeans in general.

Lenape and New Netherland: Prehistory:1613-1664
Main article: History of New York City (prehistory-1664)
Prehistory in the area began with the geological formation of the peculiar territory of what is today New York City. The area was long inhabited by the Lenape; Lenape in canoes met Giovanni da Verrazzano, the first European explorer to enter New York Harbor, in 1524. Giovanni da Verrazzano named this place New Angoulême in the honor of the French king Francis I. European settlement began with the founding of the Dutch fur trading settlement in Lower Manhattan in 1613 later called New Amsterdam (Nieuw Amsterdam) in the southern tip of Manhattan in 1624. Later in 1626, Peter Minuit established a long tradition of shrewd real estate investing when he purchased Manhattan Island and Staten Island from native people in exchange for trade goods. (Legend, now long disproved, has it that the island was purchased for $24 worth of glass beads.) Minuit's settlement was also a haven for Huguenots seeking religious liberty.

In 1640, Peter Stuyvesant was appointed governor, and ruled as a member of the Dutch Reformed Church. He curtailed the city's religious freedoms and closed all of the city's taverns. The colony was granted self-government in 1652. In 1664, the British conquered the area and renamed it New York. The Dutch regained it in August 1673, renaming the city "New Orange", before ceding New Netherland permanently to the English for what is now Surinam in November 1674.

I had forgotton about the Dutch in North America was all.

Your post reminded me of all the surnames in "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" as well as "Rip van Winkle" is all. The Dutch Influence in New York.

Hudson was working for the East Indian Company, I thought it was he who legend says paid 24 for manhatten, but I was wrong
