You know those spam messages you get from the most esteemed Prince so-and-so from the country of “whatever”, saying he/she needs your help getting their money out of their country and into your bank account and would you please send your bank account information as soon as possible (are there really people that fall for this)?
Well now there’s a new one. Get this:
I received it from “Sgt. Larry Smith” at: larrysmith@naveganas.com
With a reply to: larrysmith_info2005@walla.com
Here is the message. It’s sad that he cannot calculate percentages very well, even in this spam:

U.S ARMY PERSONNEL
GOOD DAY,
My name is Larry Smith , I am an American soldier, serving in the military of the 1st Armored Division in Iraq, As you know we are being attacked by insurgents everyday and car bombs.We managed to move funds belonging to Saddam Hussien’s family. The total amount is US$15.5Million dollars in cash, mostly 100 dollar bills. We want to move this money to you, so that you may invest it for us and keep our share for banking.
We will take 90%, my partner and I. You take the other 15%. no strings attached, just help us move it out of Iraq, Iraq is a warzone. We plan on using diplomatic courier and shipping the money out in one large silver box, using diplomatic immunity.
If you are interested I will send you the full details, my job is to find a good partner that we can trust and that will assist us. Can I trust you? When you receive this letter,kindly send me an e-mail signifying your interest including your most confidential telephone/fax numbers for quick communication also your contact details.
This business is risk free. The box can be shipped out in 48hrs.
Respectfully,
Sgt. Larry Smith
