Received the below this morning. Excellent. Now I'll just e-mail this chap with my details and wait for the funds to arrive.

"Hello,
I intend to transfer $19,500,000.00 to you for our joint gratification. this money initially belong to a client who died and had no next of kin in his account-opening package. in order to achieve this, I shall require your full name, and telephone number to reach you. Most importantly, a confirmation of acceptance from you after which I shall furnish you with the full details of this transaction

Please treat as urgent and confidential.

Regards.
Ho Chen Tung."

What a coincidence, I am due a vast amount of money too from a banking official in Nigeria. My friends scoffed also, but they will rue the day they mocked me once I have my tens of millions! I shall verbally abuse them from my boat!

It isnt real I am afraid.
It is a rather uneloborate scam emailed to many thousands of people in the hope that one will fall for it before they ask you for bank fees to transfer the money which you will inevitably never see.
Sorry to rain on your parade but it is not possible that you are going to receive many millions of pounds for nothing.

Agreed. Next week I'll be posting from my Island when I've got the cash.

You guys must be entering your email address on very dodgy websites. I've had the same Hotmail address since hotmail Day 1 and never received any of these.

Except the ones for codpiece extension that go straight into spam inbox.

TBH and in a momemnt of seriousness, I tend to get these 419scam emails into my work account, so I suspect my works email is on some "sell" list out there somewhere.

This one arrived in my work account which is odd since I don't really use the e-mail for anything other than work.

We all get spam, though I tend to just delete mine rather than copy and pasting it onto here.

Do you keep junk mail and take it down the pub to show everyone?
