Spam Evolution

Fascinating. A new variant. Anybody else got a funky, offbeat version of the Nigerian Scam recently?

"Hi, My name is XXXX XXXXXXX, my mum, dad and older brother died in the explosion on Piccadilly line train number 311 travelling south from King's Cross station to Russell Square. You shall read more about the explosion on visiting this website. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/spl/hi/uk/05/london_blasts/what_happened/html/russell_sq.stm
My dad’s older brother took our house my mum’s car, dad’s car and everything we own and sold them, him and his wife moved to china and took me along. we've lived in china for 5 months and it's been hell for me, I am now 18years old with the dream of becoming a model which my mum has always wanted me to be, My mum and dad died leaving the sum of five million pounds only with a bank which no one knows of, I discovered the certificate issued after the money was deposited in my parents safe box. Please I am looking for a God fearing person who will help me collect this deposit I will give you more details when I get your assurance and willingness to help me. I will come over to your country and start a new life and invest my money on my modelling project. I have set aside 10% for you and for your time. Please get back to me as quick as possible; please keep this strictly confidential because I don’t want to loose the money to my dad's brother. Please reply to Email: XXX@xxx.com
Thanks"
