From the desk of Mr Victor Umbongo, Managing Director National Bank of Nigeria:

Dear Sir,

I am writing to you to seek your assurance as a trustworthy person.

While searching our records we found an American National, Mr John Smith who died in a plane crash and left the sum of TEN MILLION DOLLARS in his account.

As this non-existent money is unclaimed I am looking to scam you through the nose by taking your bank account details and using them to buy flowers and pornography.

Regards

Victor Umbongo

Congratulations you just won a gazillion dollars. All you have to do is take this check we're gonna mail ya, deposit it and send us a chunk of it over seas where your government can't get to it before your bank discovers the check is a fake. Someone actually tried that on me, FAILED, and got arrested about a week later.
