Just when I thought I was about to collect that cool $50 Mil from Mr. Rashid over in Nepal, I get this email.

"SOMEONE YOU CALL YOUR FRIEND, WANTS YOU DEAD.

I felt very sorry and bad for you, that your life is going to end like this if you don't comply, i was paid to eliminate you and I have to do it within 10 days.

Someone you call your friend wants you dead by all means, and the person have spent a lot of money on this, the person came to us and told us that he wants you dead and he provided us your names, photograph and other necessary information we needed about you. If you are in doubt with this I will send you your name and where you are residing in my next mail.

Meanwhile, I have sent my boys to track you down and they have carried out the necessary investigation needed for the operation, but I ordered them to stop for a while and not to strike immediately because I just felt something good and sympathetic about you. I decided to contact you first and know why somebody will want you dead by all means. Right now my men are monitoring you, their eyes are on you, and even the place you think is safer for you to hide might not be.

Now do you want to LIVE OR DIE? It is up to you. Get back to me now if you are ready to enter deal with me, I mean life trade, who knows, and I might just spear your life, $8,000 is all you need to spend. You will first of all pay $3,000 then I will send the tape of the person that want you dead to you and when the tape gets to you, you will pay the remaining $5,000. If you are not ready for my help, then I will have no choice but to carry on the assignment after all I have already being paid before now.

Warning: do not think of contacting the police or even tell anyone because I will extend it to any member of your family since you are aware that somebody want you dead, and the person knows some members of your family as well.

For your own good I will advise you not to go out once is 7pm until I make out time to see you and give you the tape of my discussion with the person who want you dead then you can use it to take any legal action. Good luck as I await your reply to this e-mail contact: "

We went out last night and I saw a couple of suspicious looking characters but we made it home safely. I was going to put "Don't Stop Believin" on the jukebox, but then I figured I'd better not.

Now, I have to rack my brain trying to figure out what I did to piss this guy off...

You're moving just in time.

I hope you sent him an email in reply that you were just about to receive a large sum of money that was currently being held by the Nigerian government and that as soon as you did so, you would be glad to make him a very generous offer out of those funds.

I do give him points for following one of the points they taught at the email marketing seminar, namely to make sure that your heading stands out from the crowd. The rest is a bit wordy though. He needs to work on that. Some graphics or a visual perhaps.

Uh, Sir G, it looks like you've got a bit of shaving cream or maybe toothpaste over on the corner of your mouth - left side.

BTW, Nice shirt you've got on today.

I dunno what kind of deal this is. He's gonna "spear your life". Might as well toss this in the circular file. But I would be careful opening that POD one it gets to Iowa. Oops, I hope his boys aren't monitoring this site.

Looks to me like he even knew my alias here! I'm sure that he meant to say "spare" but "spear"?? That's too coincidental. I'm now surprised he couldn't work the work "lance" into the note instead. Now I'm really concerned.

"Warning: do not think of contacting the police or even tell anyone..."

...because they will laugh their asses off.

Hmmm.

I know the authorities don't have time to deal with every spam, unless someone has been victimized out of a substantial sum of money, but this is a direct blackmail/death threat. I wonder if that would change how the FBI would handle this.
