RE: Where my money?

This arrived with a copy of the Netsky virus the other day:

Hello!
I have sent money to you yesterday and I don’t know why you haven’t received them yet. I can prove my words by screenshot of my e-gold history page. Look at the attach to the letter. I hope that you won’t have any questions to me?

Hi!
You have promised to send money to my e-gold account yesterday. But there is still no money, what’s the matter?

This instantly became one of my alltime faves. I love how obvious it is that the authorial voice of both the email to me and the email supposedly from me is identical. And I’m not completely sure, but I think the virus payload was damaged such that it wouldn’t have gone off even if I’d run the attachment on a Windows box.

But, um, we all know never to do that, right? Right.
