This is no tasteless. I got this spam message today. Don't ask why I read it, but it started off with the Nigerian scam deal, then . . .
This person, David Chen, is really one of the JFK crash victims. . . :disgust:
Do you think the spammer sent it from his real email address (@netscape.net)?

Your Honour,
First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction, this is by virtue
of it's nature as being utterly CONFIDENTIAL and TOP SECRET.

THE PROPOSITION
A foreigner, Late ENGINEER DAVID CHING CHEN, from Taiwan an Oil
Merchant/Contractor with the federal Government of Nigeria, until his death\on
board the American Flight 587, an Airbus A300 left JFK, bound for Dominican
Republic that crashed in Queens NewYork, USA. Banked with us here at "UNION
BANK" Plc, and had a balance of US$20,120,000.00{TWENTY MILLION ONE HUNDRED
AND TWENTY THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS} which the bank now
expects a next of kin to claim as beneficiary,Valuable efforts are being made
by the "Union Bank" Plc to get in touch with any of the Chen's family or
relatives but to no success.
It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate any of
Late Engr, David Ching Chen next of kin {he had no wife nor children that is
known to us}. The management under the influence of our Chairman and members
of the Board of Directors,are making arrangement for the funds to be declared
"UNCLAIMED" and will be lost to the Federal Government or subsequently be
donated to the Trust Fund for Arms and Ammunition to further enhance the
course of war in West Africa.
In order to avert this negative development, some of my colleagues and I now
seek your permission to have you stand as a next of kin to Late Engr, David
Ching Chen so that the funds USD20.120M would be released and paid into your
account as the beneficiary next of kin.
All documents and proves to enable you get this fund will be carefully worked
out. We have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any of
deceased beneficiary and more so we are assuring you this business is 100%
risk free involvement. Your share stays while the rest would be for myself and
my colleagues for investment purposes.According to agreement within both
parties.
