No Seriously! I think I just inherited $22 million!

This was in my inbox this morning - I am a lucky man! I left it unedited. Hey, don't even think about using that email at the bottom to snake my money! Not sure why he didn't use that address when he sent it - oh wait it must be a British thing, send email on one account, receive in another - kind of like driving on the wrong side of the road... but who cares right? $22 million!

Dear Partner,
My name is Mr.Richard Grey I was an accounting officer to Late Engineer Micheal Foster a citizen of your country,he worked with the French oil major total company here in the United Kingdom. On the 21st of April 2002, my Client, his wife and their three children were involved in a car accident. Unfortunately him and his three kids lost their lives immediately in the event of the accident, while the wife was taken to the hospital where she died three days later. Their bodies were kept in the mortuary for five months, this was to enable the authorities carry out proper investigation on how to locate their surviving relatives. They have checked all available public files and embassies, with all efforts been abortive.

I shall provide you with all other detailed informatons that we shall both need to proceed on this transaction as soon as I have received a response from you in my next email. Please note that the amount involved in this transaction is (£11,000,000.00 million GBP)($22,755,486.99 USD).

Please do get back to me in agreement with the terms as stated above via my private email:greyrichard1@live.com

Best Regards,
Richard Grey.

I collect examples of the Nigerian Ploy and this is a fine one. We get them on our fax machine at work from time to time. I've accumulated quite a pile of them, each with its own clever (or not so clever) spin on the scam.
