We all get these. Perhaps you got this one. It arrived in my e-mailbox yesterday and I thought it was the most shameless, inept attempt I've seen yet to get me to send vital personal info to a stranger so they can clean out my checking account and/or engage in a little Identity Theft. I keep reading that people fall for these and it always amazes me. The spelling and grammar are unchanged.

I especially like the fact that Dr. Williams has been processing this matter for years regarding what is apparently a large sum of money that I am owed. But he doesn't seem to know my name.
