I received this yesterday....how do these 'spammers' (is that the correct word?) get my email address in the first place? The email address has myway.com in it. I have never sent anything to anyone or organisation with this address contained in it.

Hello; Proposal.

Greetings Friend,


Let me first start by apologizing for approaching you in this manner.

What I have in mind involves funds close to twenty million USD, and due to this
fact, confidentiality is a must. I will need your assistance for this project to
be possible.

At the same time I must tell you that the project is legitimate and we will
follow the legal procedures at all times.

Please get back to me ASAP if in the event you are interested.

Thanks for your time,

Gordon.
 
Actually I was more tempted to forward it to the Treasury and let them know someone is taking his name in vain!
 
Etta, you could reply and say what an amazing coincidence! Your late uncle, Alfonse Lubumbashi, tragically killed in an air crash over the Swiss Alps while on diplomatic business for the Upper Congo, just happened to leave a bank account in Zurich tallying around $35,000,000, and if the two of you combined... well, a partnership made in heaven, surely? :D
 
Not sure I would like him to think I would be willing to commit myself for ONLY $20,000,000! :)
