Fun with Nigerian Spammers

I got the following email this morning:

ismillâhi-r-Rahmâni-r-Rahîm,
Al-Hamdulillâhi Was-Salâtu Was-Salâmu ‘Alâ Rasûlillâh, Wa Ba’d,
As-Salâmu ‘Alaikum Wa Rahmatullâhi Wa Barakâtuh,

Wasalaam to you,and how are you doing?. My intention of contacting you is to solicit your assistance for a project, which will be mutually beneficial. Though I know my decision to contact you is to a large extent unconventional, the prevailing circumstances necessitated my action. I am Haleema Hamza from Libya. I am married to Late Mallam Mustafa Hamza of blessed memory was an oil explorer in Libya and Kuwait for twelve years before he died in the year 2000. We were married for twelve years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both devoted Muslims. Since his death I too have been battling with both Cancer and fibroid problems. When my late Husband was alive he made a huge deposit in millions of US dollars with a Deposit Company in oversea. (I will tell you the amount as we proceed).

…

I shall give you the contact information of the Deposit Company in oversea where the money was
deposited. I will also issue a letter of authority to the Deposit Company authorizing them that the said fund Have being willed to you and a copy of such authorization will be forwarded to you.

I want you and the Muslim community where you reside to always pray for me. My happiness is that I lived a true devoted Muslims worthy of emulation. Whoever that wants to serve ALLAH must serve him in truth and in fairness. I will not stipulate any precise amount to reward you, as it will have to be on pre-negotiated terms, based on your level of involvement. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give room in sourcing for a Muslim organization or a
devoted Muslim for this same purpose. Until I hear from you by email, my dreams will rest squarely on your Shoulders.

Unfortunately, I am not a Muslim, so I wouldn’t feel right about accepting such a large sum from such a nice-sounding lady on less than above-board terms. I did try to reply to her:

عزيزيه سيده همزة

انا مصيحي, و لا اريد اموالك

و لاكن سأصلي من اجلك

نع تحيتي

كوردن تيشر

But it seems that her email address isn’t valid. Which would seem to defeat both the purported and the real purpose of the whole thing.
