This = Awe-spam

The spam message below (which I'm posting as received) is basically the Nigerian scam, but personalized and taking up the weird angle of using as signatory the name of our crazy nutjob U.N. ambassador. (And by "crazy," I mean only to describe his mustache, not his managerial style.) You know how I know it's off base? There aren't any rich Tassavas!

Dear Christopher J. Tassava

I am MR JOHN BOLTON, a private financial consultant. I am the personal financial / business consultant to Mr. Alexander Tassava, a foreigner who worked and died in U.K.without any will, i personally witness the final signatory of the Estate. and also made several enquiries to your Embassy to locate any of my clients relatives immediate and extended, this has proved unsuccessful.

After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet and locate any member of his family but of no avail. Hence, I am contacting you. I need you to assist in securing the money and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where his huge deposits were lodged.

Particularly, the bank where the deceased had a domicilliary account valued Fifty Million , five hundred thousand ($50.5m) United States Dollars . The bank has issued a notice to provide the Next of Kin or have the account confiscated within the next one month.

Since I have been unsuccesful in locating the the relatives for over two years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have same surname so that the proceeds of this account valued at $50.5 million Dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money.

I have all necessary documents to back up claims as Next of Kin on your behalf. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me by email to enable us discuss further.

Best regards,
JOHN BOLTON
