Question

I know it's probably spam for cheating, but I opened my email there was 15 letters, all letters were same: 
From Mr.Mustafa Momba
 
Good day my dear friend, 
 
I assumed you are in good health with your family.
 
I am Mr .Mustafa Momba, the Director in charge of Auditing section Group Bank Of Africa here in Burkina Faso West Africa. Although the world is very small place and hard place to meet people because you don't know who to trust or believe, but as I have developed the trust in you after my fasting and praying,  i made up my mind to confide this confidential business suggestion to you. There is an over due unclaimed sum of Thirteen Million Two Hundred Thousand United States Dollars ($13,200,000.00) in my bank, belonging to one of our dead foreign customers. There were no beneficiaries stated concerning these funds.
 
Therefore, your request as a foreigner is necessary to apply for the claim and release of the fund smoothly into your reliable bank account  as the Foreign Business Partner to the deceased. On the transfer of this fund in your account, you will take 32% {US$4,224,000.00} as your share from the total fund, 5% {US$660,000.00}, will be shared to Charitable Organizations, Motherless Babies homes,disabled helpless people in both our country as the balance will be for me. 
 
Please if you are really sure of your trustworthy, integerity, accountability and confidentiality on this deal, contact me with this my private email  for more details mustafa05@blumail.org  with your profiles inclusing private telephone (Mobile) number for easy communication. 
 
I am looking forward to read from you soones.
 
Yours faithfully, 
Mr.Mustafa Momba

Of course, it is a scam! Why would a stranger write you about a huge amount of money that does not belong to you or them???? A criminal tells no one, or they get caught. If it is possible it was true, how did they get your E-mail address???? Or pick you out of more than millions and millions of other people out there? If some one died with that much money, there is ALWAYS a beneficiary. People at the bank woukld never know that information anyway! On top of every thing else you got 15 of them!!! So, why are you opening mail from people you do not know? Opening spam mail alerts the sender that your address is a valid one and they send you loads and loads more. 
When an E-mail offer sounds too good to be true, then it is definitely not true.
It is a scam to get your personal information and/or your money, or both! 
Do not respond to it.
Report it, forward it to the FTC at spam@uce.gov and to the abuse desk of the sender's ISP. 
For yahoo, report them here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ya...
Choose Fraud as the reason for the violation you're reporting on.
Also, if the E-mail appears to be impersonating a bank or other company or organization, forward the message to the actual organization.
And for your E-mail safety, remember:
Do not ever open E-mail from people you do not know; and unless you are absolutely sure who it is from then treat them as spam. 
Opening spam alerts the sender that your address is a valid one and they send you loads and loads more of it to you.
Never, ever give out your personal information to anyone, for any reason, whether by E-mail, snail mail, phone call, or at your front door.                       
And do not ever send money, checks or money orders to; or cash checks, money orders for any one - ever.

if you are interested, the swamp reclamation division has land that is underwater. as soon as global warming hits, it will be above water.

we are also having a sale on bridges. Brooklyn bridge is 50 % off, this week only.

your first clue is the spelling, second clue is, you were not the dead guys business partner, third clue is, have you eve heard of a bank that goes looking for beneficiaries? they will keep the money until some one claims it.

No I read one just a little bit ago on here

Do not give them your bank account number.
Thats all they want, and perhaps to transfer a lot of illegal money, in which, you would be responsible and probably end up in prison.

No one is going to just GIVE you 4 million dollars. 
Reality check.
