You won't believe this new scam I just found in my inbox

And I quote:

Dearest One

I am Aisha El Gaddafi, one of the daughters of the embattled president of Libya, born in 1976. I'm a Libyan mediator and military official, former UN Goodwill Ambassador, and lawyer by profession. From Muammar al-Gaddafi second wife Safia Farkash.

Best Regard

Aisha El Gaddafi
