SCAM .....the best rule of thumb is ....if you did not sign up for an e-mail from the sender , or do not know who the sender is delete it ..don't even open it , if you open it , you open yourself to many more of these types of scams........

The FBI calls this a "419" fraud (after a particular law) and it is also known as a "Nigerian Letter Scam" or "Advance Fee Fraud." It is a well known confidence trick to cause someone to pay a fee to help someone receive a large amount of money and then share in the proceeds. This was perfected on the Internet by Nigerian fraud rings and later copied by others. Check here: http://www.fbi.gov/majcases/fraud/fraudschemes.htm

Scam...
I once corrected several grammer and spelling errors in one of these things and sent it back with a rather insulting commentary attached. Now I get 8-10 a day. Might contemplate attaching a virus next time. :(

Do you have any reason to believe that this is true?
Do you know most of the people you are related to?
Could you really have something in common with this person?
I get these kind of E-Mails all the time & I just delete them.
