Recently got a scam email that was quite pathetic, so I figured I would post it on here. Feel free to post any you have received.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
Good Day!!

I decided to write you this proposal in good faith, believing that you
will not betray me.I have been in search of someone with the same last
name of our late customer and

close friend of mine (Mr. Richard), hence I contacted you because both
of you bear the same surname and coincidentally from the same country,
and I was pushed to contactyou

and see how best we can assist each other. Meanwhile I am Mr. Fred
Gamba , a reputable banker here in Accra Ghana .

On the 15 March 2007, the young millionaire (Mr. Richard),a citizen of
your country and Crude Oil dealer made a fixed deposit with my bank for
36 calendar months, valued at

US$17,500,000.00 (Seventeen Million, Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars)
and the mature date for this deposit contract was on 31st of January,
2011. But sadly he was among

the death victims in the 12 May 2008, Earthquake disaster in China that
killed over 5,000 people. Because he was in China on a business trip
and that was how he met his

end.

My bank management is yet to know about his death, but I knew about it
because he was my friend and I am his Account Relationship Officer, and
he did not mention any Next

of Kin/ Heir when the account was opened, because he was not married
and no children. Last week my Bank Management requested that Richard
should give instructions on what

to do about his funds, if to renew the contract or not.

I know this will happen and that is why I have been looking for a means
to handle the situation, because if my Bank Directors happens to know
that he is dead and do not

have any Heir, they will take the funds for their personal use, so I
don't want such to happen. That is why I am seeking your co-operation
to present you as the Next of

Kin/ Heir to the account, since you bear same last name with the
deceased customer.

There is no risk involved; the transaction will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law. It
is better that we claim the

money, than allowing the Bank Directors to take it, they are rich
already. I am not a greedy person, so I am suggesting we share the
funds in this ratio, 50/50%, i.e.

equal.

Let me know your mind on this and please do treat this information
highly confidential.

I will review further informations / details to you as soon as I
receive your positive reply in my private email address
(fredgamba02001@live.com )

Have a nice day and I Anticipating your communication.

Regards
Mr. Fred Gamba
