verbosity

Tasteless 419

I already despise spam, but it's completely tasteless to use the recent tsunami disaster as the heart-mover for a 419-scam:

My dear friend,

MY name is  Mr Desmond Dube from South Africa.

With  deep sorrow,I am writing this message which I beleive you may
honenstly comprehend and consider its contents emotionally then expedite
action with dispatch.

The recent disaster(Tsunami Tragedy),consequences of the earthquake which
occurred on 26 December 2005, off the coast of Sumatra / Aceh Province,
causing Tsunami waves which then broke at the shores of most of the countries
off the Indian Ocean,where more than one hundred thousand people have lost
their lives and many more have seen their homes utterly destroyed is indeed
a sad news and great setback to humanity.Though I am presently facing a
terrible ailment here on my side without any remedy as experts'diagnosis,I
do share my sympathy here on my sick bed.In this urgly circumstance,I have
decided to give out my total financial support to the concerned victim/countries.

Hence my  time on earth  to die is  now  very  short  and certained,  may
I crave your indulgence to use your position and experience to claim the
fund, Two Million, Six Hundred and Thirty-four Thousand dollars, which I
have in my Bank  Account, and send it to the body of 'United Nations or
any body' that is responsible for the appropration of the various fund donations
and supports from different sources across the world to the affected  people/countries.

I am counting on you to shouder this assistance base on your statue, in
order to avoid  misdirection of my financial support to the affected people/countries.If
I should exploir the assistance of some Individuals and  Organisations here
in my country,the fund would be misdirected, instead they enriched themselves.
I know without doubt  that you  as  a  person of high magnitude and dignity
will not cheat  or disappoint me in  the appropration and direction of this
my fund support to the Tsunami victims.

I have once contacted my Bank on this matter but I was advised to come
forwared in person to carry out the transaction by myselve due to some
buearucrative procedures.When I explained my present condition to them,
I was advised to sort for a Trusted Representative  to come forward instead,
hence your importance.

If you could honestly represent me in the bank,claim the money without absconeding
then send it to the Tsunami affected people through any of the outstanding
body responsible for the Tsunami funds relief,I am giving you fifteen percent
of the total amount and then send the balanced eighty-five percent as a
reward for your honesty.

In this circumstance, I want you to feed me back as soon as possible so
that I can effect  the support quickly, mostly now that the people of the
affected countries are nursing the pain of their loses, and my condition
is also getting worse everyday.

However. I am  anxiously waiting for your prompt response.

Thanks and Godbless you.

Mr Desmond Dube.
