This is the letter I send back when it is someone like West Hawaii Today's spammers wanting me to subscibe to the online WHT. The webmaster replied - WE'LL TAKE YOUR NAME OFF OUR LIST..... I dont do this for 99% but once in awhile it makes me feel assertive doing this!
Aloha Sir or Madam,
I hope today finds you in good spirits and realizing how blessed you are with family and such nice friends.
I, on the other hand, am not so lucky, I have been bombarded with emails from Nigerians, from England, from all over the world claiming to have my long lost inheritance from a relative that is unable to launder their money. I just got worn out and couldn’t do my job from reading so many of these utterly stupid emails.
Then there was my vacation rental – my last source of income. I was bombarded by links to websites that promised me all sorts of things if I would just sign up for their service. Even beautiful women sent me links to their pages and I am married. I did not have enough time to respond the occasional inquiries about our rental because I was busy with all the emails I thought were some one supposedly wanting to rent it.
Or I am busy getting these stupid emails: “You can get the ENTIRE newspaper on your computer every day.”
The last of my money was taken by a product that claimed to make me look like Brooke Shields. I tried to ignore it but when it popped up on every page I went to – I had to look. Then the Viagra ads started – I guess if at 51 I looked like Brooke Shields, then my husband would need the Viagra emails we get by the 1000’s!
So therefore, I am broke. Please send money – cash is fine. Dealing with the spam and the endless products does not leave me a lot of time to go to the bank so cash is better.
My address is:
POB xxxx
HI 96xxx
I am looking forward eagerly to hearing from you.

Thanks for pointing it out. I've locked the user name out. It can still happen again though.

Keep in mind that even though everyone (including the FBI) calls this type of scam a "nigerian scam", that the culprit sending this can be anywhere at all . . . they often just use nigeria in the story prolly because everything is so out of control there.
RE: Scam Email - LaurelJ - 08-05-2009
Yep this keeps resurfacing every 6 months or so, I just got it also. I am going to attempt to check email header and see where this email originates. I'll let you all know if I discover source
