Scam Warnings.
I had this email on 30 Nov 2007:
Dear Brian.
I am so surprised over your silence regarding to your inheritance, following your non compliance to my earlier mail to you for the past one month regarding to your late relative
Engr. PAUL N. MW0GKX, who died in 2002.
I wish to notify you that the governing council of our security company have put up a notice for immediate payment of this funds and as such you are entitled to your late relative fund which have accrued to US$6.3Million over years deposited with our branch (TRUST FUND SECURITY COMPANY.).
On receipt of your response with your full details i will properly guide you on the procedure we will embark on to facilitate the easy release of this funds for our mutual benefit.

I had a good laugh at this one as I saved it for perpetuity! (Did you spot the main mistake? Look at the name of the 'deceased', strange surname that! Also this was the first time I had had a contact about his 'death'.)
