    I see quite a lot of stuff like that coming at
    our mail system. I believe its called the nigera
    connection. The various storys have gained cult status
    in germany (http://www.nigeria-connection.de sorry page in
    german). The last one I remember is from last week supposedly
    coming from swizterland trying to get at some money sombody
    owned how died in the Lockerby crash (quite tastless that).
    Those are all schemes to get at your money
