Well, I'm tired of these scammers sending emails requiring me to send them money so I can get my hands on some more... money.
So I replied in kind to the latest moron to send me spam scam.
Here is his email, my response I sent follows.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Attn: Dear,
I am Dr. Christopher Eyadi, the Director, Treasury Department Stallion
Finance company, Togo. My recent position was as a result of the death of
the former Director.
When I was going through the companies classified papers, I discovered
that Mr. Michael Rees, a national of your country, who incidentally
was a contractor with Togolese government had at the close of balance a
deposit of US$12,500,000.00 with our company.
Unfortunately, as he was travelling on 21st of April 2002, along with
his wife and two children, they were involved in a car accident. All
occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.
My efforts to locate any of our customer’s extended relative has proved
unsuccessful. After other several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to
track his last name over the Internet, with the hope that I may luckily
get a member of his family, hence I contacted you. I have contacted you
to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by our
customer before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by our
company, the Stallion Finance Company where his US$12.5 Million is
deposited.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over a
year now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this
account valued at (US$12,500,000.00) can be paid to you and then you
and me can share the money 60% for me and 40% for you. I will provide all
necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may
make.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Do send your reply to my email above or: eyadichris@voila.fr
Best regards,
Christopher Eyadi.

and Muddy's response.
You sir are THE dummest scammer I've seen yet.
Allow me to demonstrate.
#1. Your using the name of a company who has not used that name since July 15th 2003 when it was changed from STALLION TRADE & FINANCE LTD. to ESQUIRE MONEY GUARANTEES LTD.
#2. Your sent your email from a "free" email account from a web portal based in Warsaw Poland. (not your company email)
#3. Your optional email is, shockingly another free email account this time from a web portal based in Paris France. (for comment see #2)
#4. No moron in his right mind goes out to the internet sending mass emails to countless people just so he can get the warm fuzzies by doing some dead guy and his dead family good. Get real pal.
#5. My last name is NOT the same as this pretend dead guy.
There are more things I noticed when I traced your email history. I've notified the proper authorities in France, Poland and America and I suspect you will not be in business long.
Please get a real job and while your at it, give your life to Jesus, it's obvious you've done a piss poor job with it so far.
Good day.
