One specific case is the US$90.5m given to the late head of state for safe keeping by the oil companies in Nigeria for his campaign as he was planning to succeed himself but unfortunately he died shortly after the money was given and this money was taken by my client and deposit it a Security Company in Europe for safe keeping.

Now that the matter has been made know, my client wants the money to be moved from where it is and be lodged in a bank account that will carry a foreigner&#146;s name. This is the reason why I am contacting you. If you can handle this, please get back to me urgently so that I can arrange to send you documents with which the consignment was deposited and also arrange for you to travel to Europe where arrangement has been conclude to move the money and do something about it.

Got one quite awhile ago. Just ignored it and put it in the trash. While we are on the topic, I get variations of similar e-mails on a monthly basis. They all try to tug at your heart strings. Too bad really, there may be a time when a ligit one comes along and it won't be given the time of day.
