I got my first scam email today! I'm so excited!!! By the way, don't reply to these. Remember the old saying, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Well, someone wanting to give you 20% of 15 million is too good to be true. Although, I would think that those greedy enough to reply are getting what they deserve.
So without further delay, here's the email. By the way, feel free to sign the email
milemote@katamail.com up for all the spam you can! =)

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bitGood Day,
I am Feng Zhao,an external auditor for the United Overseas Bank (UOB)
Singapore,working as part of a bigger team that covers the entire Asian
region.Recently,i discovered some investment accounts that had been dormant
for some time. All the accounts belong to a single holder with monies
totaling $15.7 million.The Singapore law demand that I notify the fiscal authorities after a
statutory time period of twelve years when dormant accounts of this type are
called in by the monetary regulatory bodies.The above set of facts
underscores my reason of writing and making the following proposing.My investigations of the said account reveals that the investor died in
1993 the exact time the account were last operated. I can confirm with
certainty that the said investor died intestate ( Dying without a legal will
) and no next~of~kin to his estate has been found or has come forward all
these years. I am of the settled conviction that using my insider
leverage,I, working with you can secure the funds in the account for us
instead of allowing it pass as unclaimed funds into the coffers of the
Government of Singapore.This exactly is why I crave your participation and co-operation.I have
seized all relevant documents (legal and Banking) that will facilitate our
putting you forward as the claimant/beneficiary of the funds and ultimately
transfer the money to any account nominated by you.Of course you shall be
handsomely rewarded for your part in this transaction as the people.I am
working with are prepared to allocate a 20%slice of the total funds for your
efforts.I shall however leave out the final details of this transaction till
i receive an affirmation of your desire to participate.Be assured that my colleagues and I are on top of the situation all the
time and this deal will ne carried out smoothly if you agree to come on
board. Needless to say,UTMOST CONFIDENTIALITY is of vital importance if we
are to successfully reap the immense benefits of this transaction.To maintain the level of security required to see this transaction to come
to a successful conclusion, I have intentionally left out the final
details.Please contact me immediately through my PRIVATE EMAIL ADDRESS BELOW
for more details.I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation.
I do expect you prompt response.
Thank you,
Mr. Feng Zhao
