They are a horde and a pestilence, a curse upon the land. They never give up, never take a hint, and never go off and find an honest line of work. Instead they spend their time leaving us spam comments in our blogs, or sending random emails promising riches to the gullible. I speak, of course, of the vile scum we call homo sapiens spammeritis irritatingus, otherwise known at the internet scammer and spammer. This came through to my email recently.
Hello
I am Fabio Antonio, A Portuguese national, I was browsing and I
saw your email, So i decided to write to you if your email is
real, I have been diagnosed with esophageal cancer. It has
defiled all forms of medical treatment , and right now I have
only about a few months to live. I am very rich, but was never
generous; I have given most of my assets to my immediate family
members.
I have decided to give alms to charity organizations. I cannot do
this myself anymore because of my health. I once asked members of
my family to give some money to charity organizations, they
refused and kept the money. I have a huge cash deposit of
Eighteen Million dollars with a security firm. I will want you to
help me collect this deposit and dispatch it to charity
organizations. You will take out 30% of these funds for your
assistance.
I would like you to acknowledge the receipt of this e-mail as
soon as possible and treat it with absolute confidentiality and
sincerity.

First of all, for a guy claiming to be from Portugal, his email (which is probably the first in a long daisy chain of emails leading to an Eastern European hellhole scam datafarm) carries a Japanese internet code.
