AS THE WAR RAGES ON WITHOUT KNOWING WHEN IT WILL STOP , HE ADVISED ME TO MOVE AWAY WITH THE FUNDS AND THAT HE WILL JOIN ME LATER. I THEN,TOOK THE FUNDS OUT OF IRAQ FOR SAFE KEEPING AND DEPOSITED IT SAFELY IN A SECURITY COMPANY IN SOUTH AFRICA AND KEPT THE BOX CONTAINING THE FUNDS THERE SUCESSFULLY.

Reply to Mohammed and politely inform him that his caps lock key is broken.
Fish-on-the-head PING!
Send him the money, of course. ;-)
Ignore and delete.
Set fire to your underwear. The email will no longer be of concern.
Jeeze I didn't sign my name right. You can send me the money just open up the account under areafiftyone. LOL - Just ignore it.
Heavens to Betsy! I believe you've hit the jackpot!

SPAM is not really so bad, IF it is properly fried. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT try to eat it raw - it's not really that safe, and you will likely gag. Fry it till it stops squirming, then keep frying till it is somewhat crispy, and you should be OK. Just don't expect it to taste like filet mignon, or you will be disappointed.
Did you try sticking a picture of The Last Supper with the eyes cut out on a printout of the message? Maybe it will tell you where the jewels are being hidden. :)
You simply verify to the spammer that they've found an active email address.
The spammer will then sell/trade your email address to/with every other other spamming low-life scum on the face of the earth.
It looks like what of those scams. Ignore it, but report it
Whatever you do don't send it to Ed Mevinsky.
He said it was for your eyes only so you already blew it.
I responded to one of these guys. I gave him my phone number. I told him to call.
He did.
I kept him on the phone for an hour. I told him to call again.
He did.
I kept him on the phone for another hour or so. I told him to call again.
He did. Then he got mad. He asked me if I knew just how much it cost for him to keep calling me.
I told him: I did.
I learned some new vulgarities that day.
It was fun.
It sure looks like the typical scam letter styled after the Nigerian Scam letters.
