    Latest Round of Spam....

    Just got this in my inbox, new variant of the Nigerian Con methinks

    Dear Friend,

    Please, I want to know if you can assist me for an investment in your
    country, I need somebody that will be honest and reliable, you may wish
    to know me my name I am Mrs.Gloria Kalu Edward. I am the first wife of
    the late chief Kalu Edward, who was the traditional ruler of Umuofor-
    Umuobo in Onitsha South Local Government, which is in the East region
    of my country, Nigeria. My husband died on the throne in an auto-wreck
    while he was returning from an official meeting of all traditional
    rulers of Oil producing communities' (A.T.O.P.C) on the 7th of November
    2004.
    He was buried on the 27th of December 2004.

    After the death of my husband, the Uncles and relations started
    pressing me and insisted that I must declare all my husband's assets
    and properties, so that they will share it among themselves.

    Some of our Land, properties and estates including reasonable cars
    were also confiscated by hisrelations,leaving nothing for me to take
    care of my only daughter (Princess). Emilian Prior to the death of my
    husband, he deposited the sum of US$18m (Eighteen Million Dollars) in a
    security finance company and now that he is dead, the company has
    officially contacted my family inrespect of this money.

    The relations of my late husband have insisted that I must produce the
    original deposit certificate so that they will claim this money from
    the Security Company and disburse within themselves but I don't want to
    declare it since this is the only thing I can lay hand on and also use
    it to establish business in your country and help my only daughter and
    I am with this document. I have consulted my private Lawyer, and he has
    advised that I should contact an honest and reliable foreigner who will
    stand as the beneficiary of this money.

    My Lawyer has planned that he shall prepare a document that will
    indicate that this money was borrowed to my late husband by your very
    safe when he was alive.

    I will forward the original deposit certificate to you to enable you
    forward it to the office of the security company and also advise them
    to release the funds to you through their oversea off-shore payment
    office, or to pay it into their account for onward transfer to your
    bank account. Already, I have informed my family members that this
    money belongs to a foreigner and not my late husband, therefore if it
    touches your heart to assist me with utmost sincerity and for your kind
    co-operation I hereby agree to compensate your effort with 35% of the
    total sum, after the transaction has been completed.

    And I and my only daughter shall come and meet you in your country and
    your assistance will be highly needed to enable me invest the remaining
    65% of the money which belongs to me for available business venture in
    your country. Finally, my confidential Attorney has been properly
    briefed about the whole thing and he is aware of this arrangement. I
    assure you vividly that this matter is highly confidential and risk-
    free. Your integrity will be highly protected until this transaction is
    concluded Please if you are interested reply me urgently by forward to
    me your phone number, your full name and contact address, your Age and
    your Occupation through my email address.

    Looking forward to hearing from you and may God bless you.

    Yours truly,
    Mrs. Gloria Kalu Edward.

    Well, at least this one can spell...wonder why Gmails Spam box didnt pick this one up?

    You can always tell a nigerian spammer by the fact they always seem to put "may god bless you" at the end.
