I have just received the following mail and would appreciate suggestions for a reply

Dear ********,
Compliment of the season.
I don't know you but I decided to write to you seeking whether you can be
of immidiate assistance, so do not feel bad receiving my message.
My name is Barr.Mike Ahamba,attorney to Late Mr.Roy ********, a national of
United States who was born on the 7th day of Jan,1936 who untill his death
has no wife nor son or daughter to claim his assets hence he was burried
here.He was a Contractor and spent most of his life in my country Nigeria.
Mr.******** was involved in a car accident along Benin/Onitsha express road
and unfortunately lost his life on the 27th day of september,2002 at
Onitsha.Since then I have made several enquiries to the US embassy to
locate any of my friend's extended relatives, this has also proved
unsuccessful,that is to say he had no next-of-kin at the time of his
death.After these several unsuccessful attempts to trace any member of his
immediate family I decided to contact you. I am contacting you to assist
in repatriating the assets and capital valued at US$6.5 million left
behind by my friend before it gets confiscated by the Bank where these
huge deposits are.
The said Bank in Nigeria has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin
or have the treasury bill confiscated. Since I have been unsuccessful in
locating any of my friend's relatives for over two years now,I seek your
consent to present you as the next-of-kin to the deceased since you have a
similar name,so that the proceeds of this treasury bill can be paid to
you.
Therefore, on receipt of your positive response,we shall then discuss the
sharing ratio and modalities for claim.I have all the necessary
information needed to back you up for claim.All I require from you is your
honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through.I guarantee
that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law.
I wait to hear from you soon.
Best regards,
Mike Ahamba.
PRINCIPAL ATTORNEY,
AHAMBA AND PARTNERS.
22 ORLU ROAD,OWERRI,
IMO STATE,NIGERIA.
PLS. REPLY TO ahambapartners@yahoo.com

Bugger, thought I was well in. He's been writing to me daily for the last 2 months...

Mind you I do appear to be on a lucky streak, I have apparently also one the European Lottery twice and been specially chosen to keep 1 million dollars in my account for several months, apparently i get to keep half. Wicked!

Fortune is clearly smiling on Cowhead.

Dear Mike

What a coincidence, I have spent the last 5 years searching for my long lost half brother, Roy. The trail went cold about 2001 when he left Kuwait in rather a hurry. I found out there was a $500,000 contract out on him. Apparently he embezzled quite a lot of money belonging to a Midddle Eastern terrorist group. If you can phone +44 8900 2343242 and ask for Miss P.Galore, someone will be able to give you details of where to transfer the money to - and of course we'll be happy to reimburse you for your troubles.

However, I must warn you not to tell anyone else about this money, and take every precaution for yourself and your family's safety. I would recommend changing names, moving house and some plastic surgery. And of course do not send any more emails from your computer - the terrorist group are still hunting for the money and have already tracked it down to Nigeria - they could be on to you already.

Yours sincerely
Mr J.Bloggs
