You've got mail!
Received the following e-mail in my inbox this morning:
Hello,
Due to the death of my Father General Abacha the former head of state of Nigeria in June 1998, I have been thrown into a state of hopelessness by the present administration. I have lost confidence with anybody within my country.
I got your contacts through personal research, and had to reach you through this medium.
I will give you more details when you reply. Due to security network placed on my daily affairs I cant visit the embassy so that is why I have contacted you. My Father deposited $12.6million dollars with a security firm abroad whose name is witheld for now till we communicate.
I will be happy if you can receive this funds and keep it safe I assure you 20% of this fund. I will need your telephone/mobile numbers so that we can commence communication. I await your urgent response.
Yours truly,
Mustapha
Well, for once I was lucky enough to have my e-mail address choosen from millions and billions of e-mails. As if I, a Maltese, am gonna trust someone called 'Mustapha'! This time he happened to be from Nigeria, the previous one was a female from South Africa.

I received a similar email lately. They are all spam emails wasting your time, email space allocation and unfortunately some get trapped in believing them and geting themselves robbed.

I once recieved a very respecatable looking letter by post all 'legally' signed by a lawyer from somewhere in Spain, stating that I had won quite a large sum of money. All they wanted was for me to return the letter with my bank account number....The Maghtab rubbish dump had an extra paper added to it.

But you have to respect the guy for his originality and resemblance to authenticity.
