Here's the text of an email I recieved today:

Dear Friend,

Good day to you. I may have to trouble your sense of personal
achievement and
reward for an opportunity properly taken advantage of.

I am Mr. Michael Ramsey, a representative and attorney to Kenneth Lay,
the
former chairman & CEO, Enron Corp. Industry: Energy &Natural Resources
Home,
presently in jail and facing trial on charges of corruption and
embezzlement
of funds while in Power. He deposited ($21,000,000.00) with me when he
was in
power as the chairman.

I am contacting you because I want you to deal with the Finance house
and
claim the money on my behalf since I have declared that the Funds
belong to my
foreign business partner. You shall also be required to assist me in
investment in your country. I hope to trust you as a God fearing person
who
will not sit on this money when you claim it, rather assist me
properly, share
in this percentage, 60% to me and 40% to you. When I receive your
positive
response I will give you viable information relating to this project
i.e. the
Finance institution where the money was deposited and the required
documentation that will enable you lay claims to the funds, which is
very
important. What I need is for you to indicate your interest that you
will
assist us by receiving the money on my behalf in Europe. For this, you
shall
be considered to be the beneficiary to the funds. The project in brief,
is
that the funds with which we intend to carry out our proposed
investments in
your country, is presently in the custody of a bank in Europe. I do not
want
the government of my Country to know about the money because they will
believe
I got the money from the sales of Enron stock when he was the Chairman
&
C.E.O.of Enron

Once I have your details in full, the finance institution will contact
you for
Release of the funds to your account. As soon as payment is effected,
and the
amount mentioned above is successfully transferred into your account, I
intend
to use my own share in acquiring some estates abroad. For this too you
shall
also be the overseas manager of all our properties and you will be paid
based
on a certain percentage agreed on by both parties. I guarantee you 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 urgently. I am presently
in
LONDON.

Please, provide me the following:
1. Full Name
2. Your Telephone Number and Fax Number
3. Your Contact Address.

Best Regards,

Michael Ramsey.
