received this in an e-mail!

Hello Sir/Madam,

I 'm very sorry to interrupt your peace Since you're not expecting to receive any mail from me. However, I was obliged to do so due to the importance and urgency of the message. I crave your indulgence, and want to reasure you that I mean well and that it is only for our mutual good. So please do not be embarrassed as this's the only way I could make contact to you.

My name is Frank Smith, a Journalist attached to the United Kingdom military. I 'm writing this message from Ar-ramadi in Iraq. We have moved around a few times building up F.O.B. around the western side of the country as well as missions into Baghdad, with attacks by insurgents everyday and car bombs, we managed to move funds belonging to Saddam Hussein?s family which we found in his palace after his arrest, The total amount is US$25 Million dollars in cash, 100 dollar bills. We want to move this money out of Iraqi, since it's a war zone although partially ended but the daily activities of suicide bombers is frighteningly on the increase.

I reached an agreement with the members of my team and we agreed to keep this money to ourselves and then moved the box out of Iraq to Europe (we have also concluded plans to move the money with help of some diplomatic officers.With their immunity as officials they're not searched at borders or Airports). Now, I 'm in need of anybody or company overseas whom I can confidently work with since my work does not permit me to own a foreign bank account or any personal business until retirement. I have not finished my assignment and cannot return to the UK now.

I have the honor to confide this information in you and to request for your pleasure to assist in receiving and secure the money, pending our retirement from service. You are therefore expected and advised to display high degree of maturity,responsibility and understanding in handling this information. I will give you all the details in my next mail when you have indicated your interest and commitment to work with me.

I hope you will honor me too. We can come over to join you for sharing and to guarantee that we have unlimited access to you. Moreso for an effective and easy communication I will advice that you furnish me with your phone numbers and other necessary details to make me rest assured that you are geniune.

I eagerly await your positive response.

Best regards,

Respectfully,

FRANK SMITH

the spammer didn't even bother to check:

Ramadi is controlled by the US Marines, not by any British units.

heh, awhile back i got this letter delivered by fedex that said i won this European lottery. it was like 24 million US dollars i think. they sent this check worth $4000 and i had to send them some money to get the rest. well, none of the websites or companies in the letter could be found online. i figured it was a scam to begin with. the check was from some construction company in iowa or something. i checked on that company and it was legit. called up the company, spoke to one of their accountants or something and told them what i got. she said i was the 4th person to let them know about it. i scanned all the documents and emailed them to her.

i think i still have the originals somewhere. no police or fbi called me or came to see me so i guess i should probably destroy them now.

Frank's trustworthy. I've still got the autographed picture of Jesus he somehow managed to smuggle out of the Vatican.
