Just got an email from "Mr. John..." representing a Nigerian banking
concern. Craziest thing, the dumb SOB who sent the email included his
"myway.com" email address at the bottom of the email, probably due to
some sort of autosignature feature, so there's another email address
(separate from the "return" address for the message) in the message.
Check it out:

BUSINESS PROPOSAL
Hi,
In order to transfer out thirty six Million
United States Dollars from Oceanic Bank. I wish to ask for your
assistance, believing that you will never let me down either now or in
future.
I am Mr.John Chukwu, the Chief Auditor of Oceanic bank .There
was an account opened in this bank in 1993 and since 1999 nobody has
operated on this account till date. After my long investigation to my
greatest suprise I came to find out that the owner of the account who
is Mr. Smith B. Andreas, a foreigner, crude oil exporter, who died in
2000.This account has no beneficiary, infact no other person knows
about this account or anything about the account, and my investigation
proved to me as well that this company does not exist anymore in
Nigeria. The amount involved is USD 36M, which i seek your consent to
transfer to a safe foreign account. I do not know any foreigner that i
can trust either than you, I am only contacting you as a foreigner
because this money can not be claimed by a Nigerian because the
rightful owner of the account (Mr. Smith) is a foreigner.I will also
use my position and influence to effect legal approvals and onward
transfer of this money to your account with appropriate clearance of
the ministries and foreign exchange departments. At the conclusion
of
this business, you will be given 20% of the total amount, 75% will be
for me, while 5% will be for expenses both parties might have incurred
during the process of transferring.
Thank you and God bless.
John
Chukwu.
