The email says that either you have won a lottery worth millions of dollars and/or that someone has left you millions in a will etc and after you email this guy in London or somewhere else in Europe...you find that all you have to do is send several thousand dollars to someone in order to insure the wire transfer of the millions that are waiting for you. ......not interested in your similar stories/views but AM interested in email address to forward latest email to to get these guys punished for such a dispicable way to earn a living. thanks

phishing-report@us-cert.gov. Be sure to include all of the message headers when you forward the e-mail to them.
I once nailed a PayPal scam this way.

Just put it in your spam folder, most of these people are hidden somewhere offshore and very difficult to get to. The only ones I deal with are the phishing scams for PayPal or Ebay. Banks and such as these have websites that you can report fraud to, and the prosecute. The lottery ones...not worth the trouble.

You obviously are aware enough to ignore them, then keep doing it. They will die of inattention.
