Scripture-quoting spam...

Today I received a new twist on the Nigerian 'please help me get lots of money out of my country' scam email. Only this one is 'I am a lawyer who greedily stole the estate of this devout Christian couple, only now I have been saved by Christ and want to give the estate to you because I know you will use it "honestly and wisely for things that will glorify God's name."' But, perhaps in homage to the roots of this scam, the devout couple who left so much money to God lived in -- you guessed it -- Nigeria.

I don't often laugh at loud at spam...

But I'm still quite sure I'm not sending this guy my account number ;)
