Leif,

a recent one was actually a little more clever than most, they inserted my
name throughout the email, saying that a rich man named Baird died and left
no hiers, and that he could split the fortune 60-40 with me.  he would
handle all the paperwork, the lawyers, the bribery needed to make me the
sole heir.

'you may have already won the baird family sweepstakes!'

;)

(mass mailing).
