That great big jackpot

Most people have received at least one version of the Nigerian scam email that is some of the most entertaining form of spam (if any spam can be said to be entertaining). I get at least one a day, and they're all a little different. Today's was a big variation on the usual message having to do with relatives of former African leaders and the difficulty of getting all their stolen money out of the country. It contained the story, supposedly related by a doctor, of a German businessman who had just deposited millions of dollars in a Nigerian bank and who then "unfortunately" died. (This phrase "But as I said above, he unfortunately died" is used as a sort of refrain throughout the message.) The "Specialist Doctor" asks the recipient's help in scamming all the money from the unfortunately dead German's accounts. It's almost like a Graham Greene story.

I deleted it before I thought to save it, but no matter, there'll be another one tomorrow.
