Before I proceed, may I humbly introduce myself to your goodself, My Name is Mrs. Amina.A.Bello, an Iraqi refugee ,my husband was one of the personal aid to the president of Iraq who was formerly overthrown out of power by American Government .
Prior to this last serious crisis that is still ravaging in my country,which recently led to misfortune of our government and my late husband position as the personal aid to the president, we were able to come over here in Thailand ,we inherited the sum of US11 million.The funds were originally gotten from my late husband proceeds.
My late husband was able to safe guard the fund with a very good diplomatic contact from my Country.
I have decided to contact you because I am interested in investing in your country which is investment friendly. Please kindly guide and assist me in making the right investment since I am also interested in buying a residential property as I will be moving my family over there as soon as every thing regarding technical and logictics details is worked out and ascertained to our respective satisfaction. In view of your participation,I am ready to give you a good negotiable percentage for your assistance,or better still commit it into viable Joint venture projects,be assured that you stand no risk of any kind as the funds belong to me and my only survived son. As soon as I get your consent, we will quickly move this fund to your country for investment .
However, upon your acceptance to work as my partner, you can contact me with my private email:aminabelloa2005@she.com for more details.
I am here with my only surviving son Musa,
I strongly believe that associating with you to embark on this and other business ventures will derive a huge success here after, please include you private contact telephone number and private e-mail when replying.
Yours Sincerely.
Mrs.Amina.A.Bello.

yeah , I frequently get such mails claiming that a huge amount of unclaimed money is there and if I help i will get 50% blah blah. It may be a spam or sometimes international terrorist organizations search for valid identity in different countries so that they can use those identities for their purpose . Simply delete these messeges.A typical problem in yahoo only.

When you're sending millions of emails a day to thousands of unwilling recipients, you got to use bots. Address gathering and sending spam to those addresses are different activities contrary to what you wrote. Spammers gather addresses using some scripted bot that crawls through, for example, usenet posts or "contact us" pages where emails addresses are bound to be found in as many pages as possible (cost-benefit stuff).
Sending spam requires other bots or zombies that can mass mail without letting their ISPs discovering.

The thing with popular public mail sites like yahoo, hotmail, google, etc is that almost all 4 or 5 letter combinations are taken. Try registering a small word username at any of these sites and you will know. So the spambots only have to generate a random chracter set and append a @msn.com/@yahoo.co.uk to it, and they have possibly found another victim. Sending thousand mails and sending ten thousand mails makes little difference to spammers, so an invalid/malformed address is of little concern to them.

Oh, you are asking something else I see. Heard of Captcha?
