Hillary Send Me an Email (419)

This came across my Google spam folder this morning. Normally I flush crap like this without bothering to read it, but it was a slow morning and the email's announcing it was allegedly from the U.S. Secretary of State piqued my interest.

Office Of The U.S. Secretary Of State
Committee On Foreign Payment
Resolution Panel On Payment
Washington Dc

Attention: Beneficiary

I wish to use this medium and my office to inform you that your CONTRACT/INHERITANCE Payment of USD10,500,000.00 only from CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA has been RELEASED and APPROVED for onward transfer to you via ATM CARD which you will use in withdrawing your funds in any ATM SERVICE MACHINE in any part of the world, but the maximum you can withdraw in a day is USD$10,000 Only.

The United States government has mandated the CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA, to send you the ATM CARD and PIN NUMBER. Therefore You are advised to contact the Head of ATM CARD Department of the CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA for further instructions on how to dispatch your ATM CARD to you.

Name: REV FR MARTINS UZOR
DIRECTOR ATM DEPARTMENT OF CBN
Email: xxxxxxxx@blumail.org

NOTE: Tell REV FR MARTINS UZOR that you received a message from OFFICE OF THE U.S. SECRETARY OF STATE to send you the ATM CARD and PIN NUMBER you will use in withdrawing your funds. Please make sure you send him your direct phone number and contact address where you want him to send the ATM CARD and PIN NUMBER. [THE SCAM] Note that you will have to take care of the shipment charges for the delivery of your Atm card to your address which will cost you ONLY DELIVERY FEE according to what he told us when i asked him about the charges. Most importantly, i will like you to understand that the charges cannot be deducted from your fund because it had been endorsed by Nigerian and American government. SO do not expect them or even ask them to conduct any kind of deduction. [THE SCAM]

I am very sorry for the delay you have gone through in the past years. This office was obliged to intervene in this matter after receiving a notice from the logistics department of the CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA regarding the irregularities on the release of your funds to you.

Thanks for adhering strictly to these instruction and once again accept my congratulations.

Best Regards,

Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton
U.S. Secretary Of State

Amazing, isn't it, that über-busy Secretary Clinton would reach out to me in such a personal manner with such good news. Maybe I'll donate some of this windfall to Obama's Re-election Campaign. Now, I just need to pay for those pesky shipment charges...

(not)

Update

Yes, I know the difference between "send" and "sent". It's a very subtle inside joke which many of you obviously Failed To Get.
