Sir. Dennis Thatcher
One of the best spam/scam messages that I’ve seen in quite some time – luckily Thunderbird’s spam filter missed it or I might never have seen it…
Dear Sir
We are Attorneys and Executor of the estate of Late Sir. Dennis Thatcher, I wish to notify you that late Sir. Dennis Thatcher, made you a beneficiary to his will. He left the sum of Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand Pounds Sterling (350,000 BPS) to you in the codicil and last testament to his will. This may sound strange and unbelievable to you, but it is real and true. Being a widely traveled man, he must have been in contact with you in the past or simply you were nominated to him by one of his numerous Friends abroad that wished you good.
Mmm hmmm? Thats why you sent it from a free webmail account in Germany is it? Thought so.
Just received the same email in my inbox today here in San Antonio, Texas. 17 August 2006
He left this much to me…Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Pounds Sterling (750,000 BPS), and was sent by “Rev. John Randy” from:

The e-mail address it was received from is [email protected].
Thought you might be interested that there is someone else using the same gimmick as others.
Out of curiosity, will you investigate to see where this came from? I would be interested in knowing.
Thank you.

This one’s getting more widespread and clever – made me look hard enough to find this website and speed it into the spam bin….! (My surname’s Harwood, by the way)

Mrs Sandra Fox, she has a mere 15.000,000US$ to give
away. I enjoy receiving these Scams, I play them along
with them thinking they have a fish hooked and at the last minute their dreams are shattered. In recent weeks
I have inherited 325,000,000 US$
Sincerely——-Gordon.H.Parker
I got mine today. I responded that if they are going to try to scam me, at least get the spelling right (it’s supposed to be “Denis” not “Dennis”)
Idiots.
Actually, quite frankly, the commentary is more interesting messages themselves. (Not to insult the author, of course:))
