Although the solicitation letter is truly bogus, I am still trying to decide whether the writer is an idiot or just has the audacity to demand that $500,000 of the $10 million inheritance/contract (guess he can't decide which it is) be donated to a charity.

I wonder if the scammer thinks that pretending to be a member of the clergy makes his letter more believable. I didn't know that the clergy were employed by the UNITED NATIONS ORGANISATION
IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND
WORLD BANK FACT-FINDING & SPECIAL DUTIES OFFICE
Office of The Director Special duties, and in Senegal of all places.

Some other things I find amusing - every scammer says that the huge amount of money is in a locked box that will be delivered by diplomatic courier. This one in particular describes the box. That's got to be one enormous box to hold $10 million, especially since the largest denomination it could be in is $100.00. Also, our US Treasury Department must be printing tons of money since so many trillions of dollars is not in active circulation. I say trillions, because that's the amount that all of these scam letters add up to.

And why is it that all of the money in everyone of these scams is in US dollars? Seems to me that the scammers would say that the funds are in the currency of their own country.

In all honesty, these letters just get funnier and funnier, and I really can't believe that innocent people are gullible enough to fall for these scams.
