I tweaked it a little, moving the return address to the bottom because it's much funnier if you don't know who it's from right away. Thanks be to Chad for sending this one over! He knows the forwards I like... big boy.

For those of you who are just joining the Internet (where have you been? We've been waiting for you!) this hoax email is a parody of a hoax email that claims to be from a former official of an overthrown African government who needs you to hold the fortune he/she secreted out of his African country before the government fell. If memory serves, he/she will give you a portion of said money if you agree to hold it for him/her. All you have to do is send him/her your bank account number. I've gotten this email from a few different names claiming to be either gender also claiming to be from any one of a half-dozen African countries. I've even seen someone perform one of the original hoax emails in a video blog entry.

Ah, I was looking for something cool to post in my Star Wars category! I'll have more soon.
