Hi -- I've just received a great letter from some fellow in Nigeria who wants to send me $25 million dollars if I just send him my bank account information! What's more he's said that if I have any friends, and I send him their bank account information, he'll give them each $5 million dollars too! What a deal! Anybody want in on this?

Sorry, too late. Mine should be arriving any day now. (For a poor country, Nigeria sure has a lot of money laying around in banks.)

Man, you are lucky -- they're just sending you yours. I have to go meet Mr. Mfume Robert Taylor in person. Seems like a long way to go for a measly 25 million dollars.

Hi there,
Just to let you know that this is a known email scam - apparently even the London Metropolitan Police have a resevered email address for these emails (I'm sorry that I don't know what their address is).
DO NOT REPLY OR SEND DETAILS if you receive an email like this - so many people have lost their life savings.
Install something like Mailwasher and bounce the email back where it belongs!!
Be careful out there!
All the best,
Kate!!

Can you just use Western Union to wire the money to me instead? I don't have a bank account ;-(
