Got this in an email today. Looks like the up-font and honest approach is the new way to scam.

Quote:

Hello,
My name is Saeed Ahmed Aban. I have a touching story of hope and self realisation to tell you. I am an oil-servicing equipment merchant, from Dubai, U.A.E, diagnosed with chronic Esophageal cancer in July 2009.

I am a very rich man, so please do not think of this letter as one of those being sent around to ask for money later on. In the past one year i have been donating my money, to charity organizations in Malaysia, and India. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, i cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked two members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money to charity organizations in Bulgaria and Pakistan, they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contented with what I have left for them.

The last bulk consignment of my money which is unknown to anyone, is the huge cash deposit of twenty million dollars $20,000,000,00 that I have with a finance security company abroad. I need you to help me collect this deposit and distribute it to charity organizations to help earthquake victims in Haiti, and people suffering elsewhere in the world. I have set aside 10% for your time and service. I do not need this money anymore as i have a short time to live.

Please reply me with honesty as soon as you receive this email. God be with you. You can reach me on saeed_aahmed@live.co.uk

Saeed Ahmed Aban.

& when you email him, you will get a reply, once opened, he will soon have all your details from your computer. He will ask for your bank details so that he can deposit money, but instead he will clean you out. If you have nothing better to do, go to a public free internet service like a library, create a new gmail account & copy details across. When he comes back requesting your details, give him the details of your local LEO's.

Typical 419 Scam - just delete and go about life
