I must be pretty popular

[Robert Eric]

Dear sir,
 this mail will definitely be coming to you as a surprise, but i must
crave
your indulgence to introduce myself to you.
  I am Miss Marah sadija, former mistress to the son (Qusay) of the
Iraqi former leader, Saddam Hussein.
 I am an Ethiopian, by birth and i am presently in a refugee camp in
Zimbabwe, where the living conditions are unbearable.
  I do not wish to take your time with a lenghty mail, but i have to put
this proposal to you so that you can assist me.
       While i was still in contact with Qusay,he made a deposit in my name
to a security firm in Spain, which has an affiliate branch in
Amsterdam.
This deposit was made in my name and the secret code and necessary
documents
are presently in the possession of an attorney, presently in London.
  This deposit was made in the form of a consigment and the content is

a
considerable amount of money in United state dollars which i cannot disclose
to you for security purposes, until you have confirmed your willingness to
assist me.
 I would be pleased and grateful to you if you could assist me in
collecting this consignment on my behalf from the security firm in Spain,
upon which i will be offering you a percentage for your efforts.
 The attorney in London, will arrange an authority to release and pay in
your name which you will tender to the security firm coupled with all
necessary documents that will back up your claims in collecting this
consignment on my behalf.
 I have to stop here now as your response will determine our
subsequent corresspondence. Please feel free to dis-regard this
proposal if it is not in line with your principles.
For security reasons please reply to marahsadija@netscape.net

Allah bless you,
Marah Sadija.

The crap people send you these days.  Like every refugee camp has a computer with a modem.

I think many people got it (there're lots of such spams lately, I got exactly the one you're  quoting too).

TODAY, I'll advice you just do what they tell you to, it's good to you.
