I got one of those to my private URL, twice. The last was slightly more aggressive. I was thinking of posting the text as an article titled Not Nigerian?. Then it occured to me that US "liberals" might be offended. Worse, ICE might knock on my door. Well, here ya go.

Dear Friend,

I hope my e-mail meets you well. I am in need of your assistance. My name
is xxxxxx of the Contract Unit of US Military here in
Baghdad in Iraq; we have about $10.2 Million US dollars that we want to move out of the country. My partners and I need a good partner out there, someone we can trust to receive the funds on our behalf. It is oil money and legal.

We have made arrangements with a Diplomatic Courier Service that will move the funds out of Iraq as a Family Treasures, also we have made arrangement to transfer the said fund through Bank of Baghdad depending on what you want, The most important thing is; "Can We Trust you"? Once the funds get to you, simply take out 20% as your share and keep the remaining 80% for us. Your own part of this deal is to find a safe place where the funds can be sent to, ours is sending it to you safely.

Also you can view the Link http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm
If you are interested I will furnish you with more details upon receipt of your response and contact details. But I can assure you the whole process is simple and we must keep a low profile at all times.

I look forward to your reply and co-operation.

Regards,
xxxxx

Ha since I left my last job, I no longer get about 800 of them a week.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Another sort of email altogether.

We hope you will be able to join us for what promises to be a probing and insightful session.
