Tell me about the strangest spam mail you've received lately. I received one of those 'share this money with me' e-mails and I found it rather amusing. I believe a topic like this existed a while ago, but it's obviously dead now. Here's the one I received...

My Dear,
With due respect and trust, it is my pleasure appealing for your assistance at
this point in time. I am James Zuma Molala, the eldest son of Dr. Sam Davis
Molala, who was recently murdered with other whites in the land dispute
violence in Zimbabwe two years ago. My late father was among the few
black-Zimbabwean rich farmers murdered in cold blood by killer-squad of the
ruling party of Zimbabwean Government of President Robert Mugabe on 16th of
June 2004, for his alleged support and sympathy for the opposition party
controlled by whites.

Before his death, he had took me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US
$12,500,000.00 (Twelve Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollar)
with a Security/ Finance Company for safekeeping as if he foresaw the looming
danger that could erupt from the farm struggle in Zimbabwe. This money was
deposited in a box as a consignment libelled “FAMILY TREASURE” with the
security company. This land problem arose when president Robert Mugabe
introduced a new land acts called (LAND EVICTION ORDER) which wholly affected
the rich white farmers and some objective blacks vehemently condemned the
modus operandi adopted by the government. This resulted to the forceful
ejection of whites from their lands, rampant killings, arson and mob actions
by the war veterans and some political thugs.

As the eldest son of my late father, I am saddled with the responsibility of
seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred to,
without the knowledge of Zimbabwean government who has tactically frozen my
family's wealth. Secondly, my mother is presently sick of heart disease and
need to travel out to overseas for a medical operation on her, but how could
we travel without this fund. We request our proposal will be granted so that
we can be able to transfer this money to nominated account outside South
Africa for investment purpose. As somebody who I wish to entrust my future and
my family in his hands, I must let you that this transaction is 100%risk free
as far as you keep it secret.

The modalities to this transfer are ready with the help of a Lawyer, who has
been assisting us here in South Africa. I have two options, firstly you can
choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for
this transaction, or you can go into partnership with me for proper profitable
investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel
free to notify me. I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of
expenses that might incur in the process of this transaction. If you do not
prefer a partnership, I am willing to give you 25% of the total money, while
70% will be for my family.

I am looking forward a view to your hearing soonest.

Thanks for your anticipated cooperation,
James Zuma Molala.
(For Family)

I reply to all of those emails I get. Me and my Nigerian/Togolese/Ghanan/South African/Zimbabwean pals usually have a whale of a time, although usually I break off our business deal when I scream at them for insulting me in my native tongue of Slovakian, or when I die mysteriously.

I was reading a magazine for young teen Christian girls (my fiance's mother got me a subsciption last year... seriously) and in the section where girls write letters asking for advice one of the letters was a girl who was so concerned that people were sending her emails like that, and asking what she could do to help these poor people when she's only fourteen. She was so concerned for them. xD

PLEASE, DO AS WELL TO REPLY ME.
Dear Friend.

I sincerely hope that
this letter will not come to you as a surprise or an embarrassment
since we neither knew each other before nor had any neither previous
correspondence nor contact.
I am Mr. Tom Shalikashvili, a Director in
Ministry of Mines and Power in Bosnia. I have an intention of going
into business undertaking/relationship in your country.

I am here-by
seeking your service in giving a clear research and feasibility studies
on arrears I could invest on. Your services will be paid for, and you
will be a partner, if your recommendation is accepted.

As a civil
servant, I can not operate any personal investment till I am retired
and with the Anti-corruption Bill passed in Bosnia, It is risky for any
civil servant to Bank Huge amount in Bosnia or any foreign country. It
is then advisable to invest in any foreign land secretly until one is
retired to finally transfer it Bosnia.

You are to handle everything
personally, if my proposal is acceptable as I may not be able to travel
down, since I must obtain clearance before leaving Bosnia.

Note
importantly that, this is a confidential proposal and must be
confidentially because the Government has commenced on probing all
Directors that served in the past and present administration whether
retired or not or still in service.

For security purpose, due to
telecom interception in Bosnia now never acknowledge any phone call,
Fax message, email or related discussion in this regard to this
proposal without [CODE NO: AM-002].

Finally, If my proposal is
accepted, send me immediately

Yours truly,
Tom Shalikashvili
