Attention:

 I sourced your email from a human resource profile database in the chamber, my name is Mr.Zongo  Issa account officer to late Mr. Morris Thompson from America who is an gold merchant Agent here in
ouagadougou burkina faso, a well known Philanthropist before he died. He made a Will stating that
$U.S50.5Million dollars(fifth million five hundred thousand US ) should be given to an citizen of our
choice overseas.

I have made a random draw and your e-mail address was picked as the beneficiary to this Will. I am
particularly interested in securing this money from the Bank because they have issued a notice instructing me been the account officer to produce the beneficiary of this before end of this 2008 else the money will be credited to the Government treasury as per law here. It is my utmost desire to execute the Will of my late client Mr. Morris Thompson since he is no more alive,

both wife Thelma Thompson, and daughter Sheryl Thompson. Please for more details concerning him and how he died, you can visit this website: www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
If you are interested, you are required to contact me immediately to start the documentation process with the help of a legal practitioner. I urge you to contact me immediately for further
details bearing in mind that the Bank has given us a date limit, Please act fast.
I await your urgent response.

Mr.Zongo  Issa

Bank of Africa
Ouagadougou Burkina Faso.

I get about on average 10 messages per day.  I suspect however it could possibly be Shima trying to get into my bank.  Never did take the settlement well...
I reject your reality and substitute my own, hence my existance on the Galatea!

Not Alaska...Alaskabougi, you must be reading it wrong.

Common misunderstanding, as Alaskabougi Wougi is a respected African nation.

The fact that all of my current (79 messages today) spam claims to be from news sites reflects on me rather more than I would like.

Somewhere there's a ~1 min video that parodies all these Nigerian / African spam email scams.  I'm gonna try to find it.

EDIT:  Found it!!!

Bush (Verb) -- To do stupid things with confidence.

This year, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union Address occurred during the same week.  This is an ironic juxtaposition of events--one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication, while the other involves a groundhog.

I once received a spam from Nigerian Royalty on the topic of finding out why local natives have large penises, and was trying to sell me a sample of a concentrated protein so that I could analyze it, and he would send $70,000 US to start the project, as Nigeria doesn't have adequate laboratories for this purpose.

So basically, it was the basic Nigerian money scam in the disguise of a basic "How to make your penis larger" scam.  No joke.
Bunny stole my signature :(.

Sorry boobies.

My guess would be that there's no real person behind the individual spammi, the spammer just sets up a series of bots that use a bunch of temporary email adresses to spam, before the adresses are shut down.
