This Month's New Type Of Scam E-Mails

After what is about 12 months of the scammers sending me e-mails from banks I don't have accounts with, we have a new tack. In the past 7 days it would appear I am now the beneficiary in the wills of two people I've never heard of....

Naturally these e-mails have gone straight into the bin without opening. I mean, seriously, how does anyone fall for this shit?

What an unfortunate coincidence. I have also sadly lost 2 relatives in 2 separate car crashes in Africa this month. Amazingly, both were extremely wealthy. Even more amazingly, neither had any other living relatives but me (not even my own father), so I am in line to benefit from both of their entire fortunes.
