There are people who actually respond to such scam emails with the intention of making the scammer's life a living hell. It's known as scambaiting.
I visit this scambaiting website regularly: www.419eater.com
Go to 'Letters Archive' and read the Shiver MeTimbers baits... they are spectacularly hilarious. -

My father died and left me and my younger brother behind. He was a king, which our town citizens titled him before he died. I was a princess to him and I am the only person who can take care of his wealth now

He left $7,350,000 (Seven million Three hundred and fifty thousand dollars) with a Finance Company in London United Kingdom and I don't know how to start up with the wholething and what I will do to invest this money somewhere in abroad, so that my father's kindred will not take over what belongs to my father and his name, which they are planning to do without my concept because I am a female as stated by our culture in the
town.
I strongly believe that by the grace of God, you will surely help me invest this money.

BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
BANK OF AFRICA (B.O.A).
OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO
WEST AFRICA.
Dear Friend,
I am the manager of bill and exchange department BANK OF AFRICA (B.O.A) In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $15m US dollars ( fifteen million US dollars) . In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in november 2001 in a plane crash.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this businness proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and I donÂ’t want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclamed after five years, the money will be transfered into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe can not stand as next of kin to a foreigner.I decided to make it that 30 % of this money will be for you as my foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for any expenses both of us made during this deal and 60 % will be for me and this 10% is for any expencess from your own side you make and from my own side i make during this deal, and when the fund is transferd we have to reduct the expencess we made from our pocket during this deal first beforec shearing the fund according to the percentages.
Then after I and my colleagues will visit your country for disbursement accoding to the percentages indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate trnansfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in the money will be remitted . Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer . you should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.

got alot of them lei...
who the fark is those ppl aghhhh? -
the stories all like maciam the same
no originality -
I've seen scam emails which try to capitalise on recent tragedies (e.g. unclaimed funds of victims of recent terrorist attacks, plane crashes, etc). Such asswipe scammers try to capitalise on the misfortune of others to make a quick buck. I wonder how these buggers can sleep soundly at night.
I honestly will not be totally surprised if they soon come up with an email talking about 'unclaimed funds' left behind by 'a victim of the recent Virginia Tech shootings'. I'll just be cursing at these conscienceless beasts. -
