$5.5M?
We were talking about spam at lunch today. We haven't had so much at work lately. Then what follows comes in, with subject My Last Wish:
Good day,My name is Mrs. Karen Grant I am a dying woman who have decided to donate what I have to you.
I am 59 years old and I was diagnosed for cancer about 2 years ago, immediately after the death of my husband, Who had left me everything he worked for.I have decided to WILL/donate the sum of $5,500,000(five million five Hundred thousand dollars) to you for the purpose of charity work, and also to help the motherless and less privilege and also for the assistance of the widows .
At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls right now due to the Fact that my relatives are around me and my health status. I have adjusted my WILL and my Executor is aware I have changed my will; you and he will arrange for the change of ownership of the funds as it is presently deposited in a strong trunk box, and lodged. the box in a coded Security company whose name is withheld basically on security and confidential purposes and would only be released to (you).
I wish you all the best and may the good Lord bless you abundantly, and Please use the funds well and always extend the good work to others. Contact my Executor Michael Bacchus with this specified email m_bacchus@atmail.com with your full names contact telephone/fax number and your full address and tell him that I have WILLED ($5,500,000.00) to you and I have also notified him that
I am WILLING that amount to you for a specific and good work. I know I don't know you but I have been directed to do this. Thanks and God bless.
NB: I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the task is accomplished as I don't want anything that will Jeopardize my last wish. And Also I will be contacting with you by email as I Don’t want my relation or anybody to know because they are always around me.
Regards,
Karen Grant
Out of idle curiosity, I check the mail headers. How about this?

Is that for some sort of mail client plug-in?
