Dear Friend

Notification of Bequest
On behalf of the Trustes and Executor of the estate of Late Engr. Willy
Bubenik, I once again try to notify you as my earlier letter to you through
the Post Office was returned undelivered. I hereby attempt to reach you
via your e-mail address .

I wish to notify you that late Engr.Willy Bubenik made you a beneficiary
to his will. He left the sum of Seven Million Five Hundred and Fifty Thousand
Dollars (US$7,550, 000)to you in the codicil and last testament to his will.

Being a widely travelled man, he must have been in contact with you in the
past or simply you were nominated to him by one of his numerous friends
abroad who wished you good. Engr.Willy Bubenik until his death was a former
managing director and pioneer staff of a giant construction company. He
was a very dedicated Christian who loved to give out.His great philanthropy
earned him numerous awards during his life time. Late Engr. Willy Bubenik
died on the 9th day of February 2002 at the age of 82 years, and his Will
is now ready for execution.

According to him this money is to support your Christian activities and
to help the poor and the needy. Please If I reach you as I am hopeful, endeavour
to get back to me as soon as possible to enable the immediate execution
of your portion of the bequest to enable earlier disbursment by the Paying
Bank.

You should foward along your telephone and fax numbers,including a proof
to confirm your identity as the beneficiary in question and your current
mailing address if different from the above.Proof of Identity should be
either clergy ID or International passport or drivers License or dentity
proof by attachment via E-mail .On demand I would send you the Obituary
notice of Late Willy Bubenik for your perusal and maybe you would recognise
him .
I hope to hear from you in no distant time.
Yours in His service,
Rev Fr. Allwell Wetaego (esq.)
Parish Priest

That scam is really common from Africa, I don't know why.
The ones I'm getting lately say things like, "Your Credit Card Has Been Cancelled", (please follow this link to verify details, etc.). Lots and lots of viruses from people I know well with bland subject lines "How are things?" & contents "Thinking of you..."
I hate virus writers, spammers, con artists. String 'em up by toenails, methinks!!

Titania - this is called a 419 scam email.

BUT - someone is fighting back!!!

Have a look at 419Eater . There's a guy who plays them at their own game. Some of it's quite funny, but some gets downright cruel - worth a read though.
