Hello
I pray that this email reaches you in the best of health. This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not yet met. The message could be strange but it's real and you will realize this if you pay some attention to it. I want to notify you about it at least for the sake of your integrity.
My name is Major Simon timothy, a direct and only remaining member of the wealthy Timothy's family. I am an astronaut with the Burkina Faso Air Force and on loan to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). In 2003 I left earth aboard the Mars Rover, Spirit. Seven months later I arrived on Mars. Prior to departing earth, I deposited the amount of US$ 11,600,000 (Eleven million, six hundred thousand United States dollars) in four safety galvanized boxes in a European financial institution which will be disclosed to you upon your acceptance of my proposal.
Last year, during the course of my research on Mars, I was ambushed by a group of anal dwelling rebel Martians who inflicted great torturous pain upon my body with anal probes. After a few weeks of enduring the physical pain, they released me. As a direct result of this cruelty, I am now very ill with a ruptured uterus that has defiled all forms of medical treatment and which has been deemed to be inoperable by my Martian surgeons. I am writing this mail to you on a laptop from my hospital bed in the Martian capital of Zhwrong. I now have but a few weeks to live and I am far too ill to endure the long and arduous journey back to my Burkina Faso home. Therefore I have decided to donate the bulk of my fortune to a church or charitable organization that will utilize this money in the manner which I shall impart to you later. In return for your assistance, I shall authorize you to keep 30% of this fund for your trouble and aggravation plus an additional 10% to cover your expenses.
You should contact my attorney in Ouagadougou immediately with your address and Telephone number and he will give you his full contact information and guidance so that we can make arrangements as soon as possible.

ZHWRONG, MARSNANO.
Nigerian scam, whether or not it came from Nigeria.
I don’t get those anymore - I guess spam filters are getting too good.
RIP, ye Nigerian princes.
That is very funny. I might have been tempted to send them a few dollars for entertaining me.
