Mancher SPAM ist einfach zu lustig, als daß man ihn ungelesen löschen sollte.  Auf der Suche nach zu Unrecht als SPAM markierten Mails stolperte ich über diese Abwandlung des normalen Nigeria-SPAMs:

Dear Friend,

With a very desperate need for assistance, I have summoned up courage to
contact you.I am presently in Iraq with the USA marine platoon;I found
your contact particulars in an Address journal.I am seeking your
assistance to evacuate the sum of $500,000.00(Five hundred thousand
dollars)to you,as far as I can be assured that it will be safe in your
care until I complete my service here.This is no stolen money,and there
are no dangers involved.

SOURCE OF MONEY:
some money in various currencies was discovered concealed in barrels with
piles of weapons and ammunitions at a location near one of Saddam's old
palaces during a rescue operation,and it was agreed by all party present
that the money be shared amongst us,this was quite an illegal thing to
do,but I tell you what?

No compensation can make up for the risks we have taken with our lives in
this hell hole.

The above figure was given to me as my share,and to conceal this kind of
money became a problem for me,so with the help of a German contact working
here,and his office enjoys some immunity,I was able to get the package out
to a safe location entirely out of trouble spot.He does not know the real
contents of the package,and believes that it belongs to an Asian American
who died in an air aid,and before giving up,trusted me to hand over the
package to his family.There is a secured way of getting the package out to
a safer country for you to pick up,and i will discuss this with you when I
am sure that you are willing to assist me.One passionate appeal I will
make to you is not to discuss this matter with a third party,should you
have reasons to reject this offer.please destroy this mail as any leakage
of this information will be too bad for us.

I do not know for how long we will remain here but hopefully and before
the year runs out,I have survived 2 suicide bomb tacks by the special
grace of God,this and other reasons I will mention later has prompted me
to reach out for help.

Please you can reach me on my personal e-mail address below for more
information.

Respectfully,

Capt Mark Rowell
