We've seen a lot of ones similar to this where I work. As you probably guessed, it's a scam - scam spam. Enough people have failed to say "scram, scam spam!" for it to make its creators a bit of money, so I've heard.

Standard format of the Nigerian con. Been going on for so long that the FBI, RCMP and many other agencies have pages and sites dedicate to warning people about it.

I've gotten this one from Angola, Uganda and a few other countries too. On the bright side, if people fall for it, and it IS actually SPAM from the country in question... well, it has to be a sort of idiot-tax foreign aid, no?

I doubt that it is, though. Probably someone in the west.

According to Private Eye, several city types have handed over large briefcases of cash to these people.

Its called a 419, after the Nigerian penal code in question, I believe. People have actually lost their lives over this, after being bilked for amazing amounts of money. If you're rich and stupid, you can be taken for everything you have, and eventually fly to some foreign country where you get sacked while waiting for your still ever promised briefcase full of cash. Its sad, really, but kind of Darwinian at the same time.

I've heard its one of Nigeria's chief economic imports.

Trust me, you don't. I've got to can about 60% of my inbox because it's trying to persuade me that my penis needs enlarging.

Sigh.

Maybe they know something I don't? Yipes.

Don't worry, Rothky. According to my inbox, my penis needs enlarging too.

Bet it doesn't need to be enlarged as much as mine.

Once we can all stop talking about our nobs, I'd just like to say a BIG (and when I say big, it could obviously be bigger, but I have a shit credit rating and therefore can't buy "gratitude-enlarging" drugs online) thanks to MJ-12 for that Spamletters link.

My boss actually got really pissed off with me (well, my deputy boss, actually- my boss is on holiday) for getting everyone at work to check that out instead of actually working. And she doesn't generally do "pissed off". (I feel a bit bad now, actually.)

That link absolutely fucking rules.

Mordant: snap. My breasts can be easily increased OVERNIGHT, apparently.

I thought they were big enough...

I hardly ever get spam. And I have no idea why.

(God, even spammers hate me...)

But "spam filter" has to be one of the filthiest-sounding computer-related phrases since "Palm Pilot".

I get that kinda mail far, far too often. Generally it's drugs/viagra, online betting, illegal software or mortgages/loans.
My work e-mail gets enough spam for an entire series of Monty Python...
