After first glance it almost seems legit, until you get to "We have been able to recover so much money from these scam artists. The United Nation Anti-crime commission and the United State Government have ordered the money recovered from the Spammers to be shared among 100 Lucky people around the globe."

That is a novel way of scamming. Sadly I am sure there will be people who will fall for this.

Dear Sir,
please do not bother me with the offer of petty 2.5 million dollars. I am rich beyond your wildest dreams and that amount equates to my DAILY spending budget. As a matter of fact the time I spent to type this response has cost me about $100,000. Please, reply to this email with your whole name, address and the equivalent of your social security number so I can submit it to my lawyers.

They will be contacting you shortly with a bill in regards to wasting my time.

Sincerely,

conus00
