You've probably all received at least one email with a similar sob-story and tall tale of abundant wealth and no one to leave it to except 'YOU. Not sure what morons think anyone would believe it but some must because they continue to be sent.

What do "they" do with the information? Identity theft?

Here's my latest letter below.

My dog has photo ID as he was also my Service Dog, maybe I'll send them a copy of that.

Dear Friend,

I am Ibn Mohammed Mohammed, I am 67years old. I am a citizen of Saudi
Arabia, but I am resident in Cayman Island. I was born an orphan and
almighty Allah blessed me abundantly with riches, but I am not a happy man.
I have no wife and I have no children. As at now I am seriously sick. I am
presently in hospital suffering from lung cancer and I had partial stroke
which has affected my speech. I can no longer talk and I am also deaf. Half
of my body is paralyzed. The doctors say I have about 2 months to live. I
send you this mail with the help of my private nurse, assisting me.

I have little time so I have committed it to spreading my wealth towards
better health care for mankind. In the hospital where I am, I have given
the management US$15million to upgrade and build a new cancer research
facility. I don’t know you, but due to my condition I am contacting you with
the hope that you will carryout my wish for the sake of humanity.

I have two boxes of gold and cash deposited with a security deposit company
the cash is 5 million United State Dollars .I want you to sell the Gold, add
the 5 million to it and use it to build an orphanage in your country. You
will name it Mohammed orphanage home. You must follow my wish for it will
gladden the heart of almighty Allah.

If you are ready to do this and carryout my wish, then send me

[1] Full Names
[2] Your phone/fax number
[3] Your residential address.
[4] A scanned copy of your Identification

With the help of my nurse I will be in contact with you.

I await your reply.

Ibn Mohammed
