Good Day
I am Mr. David Sek-chi Kwok, Chief Executive and Managing Director of the Shanghai Commercial and Savings Bank, Ltd. I have a business suggestion for you.
Gen. Hussein Ali Youssef who was with the Iraqi Army and also businessman made a fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, in a value of Twenty one million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch. Several maturities notice was sent to him, before the war which began in 2003. Also after the war another notification was sent and no response came from him. We later found out that the General along with his wife and only daughter had been killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit their home.
After more inquiry it was also discovered that this General did not declare any next of kin in his official papers. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank.
I want you to know that I have everything planned out so that we shall come out successful. There is no risk involved at all in this matter, as we are going to adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents.
Should you be interested send me the following; Full names, private phone number, current residential address and I prefer you reach me on my private email address below after which I shall provide you with more details on this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Mr. David Sek-chi Kwok.

Mr. David,
In 2006, my son joined the Marines and was sent to Iraq. Then two weeks ago he was sent home, minus one arm. The government won't pay for an artificial limb, because they claim he was high on qualudes and got run over by his own Humvee. Ever since he got his dishonorable discharge, he's been sitting around the house feeling sorry for hisself.
But now fate has intervened and paid us back! I'm not saying I'd willingly trade his arm for $21M, but the Lord works in mysterious ways and far be it from me to question him. I've already decided to use some of the money to buy him one of those robotic arms from the Terminator movie. I put it on layaway as soon as I got your email. He's gonna love it! Plus, I have bad arthritis and can't open my jars of mayo. I'm sure one of those bad boys will pop'em open like a girl on prom night.

I recently dropped my cell phone in the toilet and tried to dry it in the microwave. Hopefully, I will be able to buy a new one with my Iraqi money. Until then, please contact me at this email address.
Semper Fi,

NOTE:
If I refer to anything from the email scam in my reply I've bolded it, so you don't have to read the entire scam to get the references. Also, to maintain my anonymity I've changed all of my real contact information in my replies to Scamtastic. Some of the emails are written as if I were a woman and some are written as if I were a man. For the record, I am neither.
