Dear Friend,
as-Salam-u-'Alaikum!I heartily solicit for your honest/Godly assistance to safe our soul.Following the sudden death of my father General Sani Abacha the late formerNigeria head of state, in August 1998, I have been thrown into a state of utter confusion,frustration and hopelessness by the present civilian administration, I have been subjected to physical and psychological torture by the security agents in the country. As a child that is so must have heard over the media reports and the Internet on the recovery of various huge sums of money deposited by my father (General Sani Abacha) in different security firms abroad, some companies willingly give up their secrets and disclosed our money confidently lodged there or many out right blackmail. In fact the total sum discovered by the Government so far is in the tune of US$700. Million dollars. And they are not relenting to damage my family.

The email header (viewable in Outlook using View > Options > Internet headers) was interesting too. The "From:" address (which may well have been spoofed) was a US-based ISP. The "Reply-to" address was an address at Yahoo in the UK, different to the Australian Yahoo reply address included in the main body of the email. I've notified all three by the way so now the race is on between the processes that will delete the mailboxes, and the scammer's activities to gather personal information from those poor fools who might have fallen for his amusing sob story.
I think I'll print out and laminate this classic 419 email for the office wall. As well as being a useful lesson in security awareness, it's one of a dying breed (/wishful_thinking_mode)
