I have receive this mail in my mail box, what do you think about that???

"Sir,
URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP
I was the chairman of contract review panel in my country before the
problem of the land
reform program in my country Zimbabwe. Before the
escalation of the situation in Zimbabwe I recovered $16.8Million US
dollars from over
inflated contracts by some government officials. But I was a
member of the opposition party the MDC (Movement for Democratic
Change), and the
ruling Party, (ZANU PF) has been against us. So I had to lee
the country for a neighbouring African Country which I am currently
residing.
Before the escalation of the situation in Zimbabwe I had not reported the
recovery of my
findings to the panel. So this money was in my possession and
I lodged it in a security company here in Africa and currently this money
has been moved to
their security branch in Europe. I have been trying to fly to
Europe but it has been difficult for me to get a visa from Africa. So I want
you to help me
make claims of this fund($16.8m) in Europe as my beneficiary
and transfer the money to your account or any account of your choice
before I can get a
visa to fly down. So that we can share this money.
I have agreed to give you 10%,which would be ($1.6Million dollars) of this
Money for your
assistance, and 87% would be mine and the other 3%
would be set aside for any expenses that we may incure during the
course of this
transaction. And part of my 87% would be invested in your country in
any profitable business propossed by you.
We have never met, but I want to trust you and please do not let me
down when this fund
finally gets into your account. Please if you are interested, get
to me through the email address below to enable me feed you with more
details and all
necessary documentations.

I've gotten heaps of stuff like that. It is bullshit. Have you ever gotten those ones that say they found your ID from Yahoo and they include a pic? I hate them.

Those letters are known commonly as "Nigerian scams". They are a way to swindle money off people, my dad received one like that before.
