Best Nigerian spam ever

I just had to share this... I laughed my ass off, because apparently they're trying so hard.

 

I hope my email meets you well. My name is Sgt .James Clayton Jr
(American soldier). I am in the Engineering military unit here in
Baghdad in Iraq, with Oesophageal cancer which has defiled all forms of
medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few weeks/months
to live, according to medical experts. My late 2 colleagues who died
last week in a bomb blast and I found a huge sum of $25 Million USD in
Baghdad neighborhood
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm) That we have
successfully moved out of the country to Spain via a diplomatic courier
service and presently deposited with a secured bank (undisclosed). I am
contacting you because I want you to help with claiming of this
merchandise and help me distribute them to charity organizations and
homeless people.I have decided to give this sum 0f $25 Million USD to
charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds
I do on earth. I am single, as my family died in a car accident years
ago, and I vowed on my son and wife grave never to get married, so then
I joined the force. I have set aside 25% for you and your time.5% for
any expenses during the process of you getting the $25 Million USD. The
most important thing is that can I TRUST you once the funds get to
you?Your own duty is to contact the undisclosed bank on how to make
claims / released the stated amount after which you would then find a
safe place where the funds can be kept. If you are interested I will
furnish you with more details, so you are to send me all your full
information?s such as;Full names,Telephone,Mobile,Fax,Country,Occupation
But the whole process is simple and we must keep a low profile at all
times because if the authorities are aware of this funds, it would be
seized and used for purchasing ammunitions and irrelevant accessories,
whereby we have so many sick, homeless kids dying from hunger. I am
awaiting your urgent response on my private email

  IN GOD WE TRUST!!!!
Regards,
SGT .JAMES CLAYTON

 

It's so funny because none of it adds up.  First off, what US Soldier is serving in Iraq with Esophageal Cancer (that's the correct way to spell it... I know since my dad had it) with only a few weeks or months to live?  They would've sent him home to the US on such a diagnosis. Second, what's a US Soldier doing with a Yahoo! Australia email?  Third, true US Soldiers wouldn't refer to money as $25 million USD... they'd refer to it simply as $25 million.

Last, while some tend to be bad spellers, I don't know of any US citizen with such poor spelling and grammar. 

In general, don't do these scams.  But, if you see a funny one, send it my way.
