WARNING - emails from ZUMA

Just received e-mail below (first couple of paragraphs in italics)

For obvious reasons I will not respond.

Thought I'd let you all know that these emails are doing the rounds again !!!!

If you get one DO NOT give out your bank account details.  I doubt any of you would but thought I'd post anyway.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I know you will be surprised to read from me. But please consider this
letter as a request from a family in dare need of assistance. Firstly ,
I must introduce myself. I am Mr. MARTIN ZUMA from Angola. I am the first
and the only son of Brigadier JOE ZUMA. I am presently residing in Dubai
(United Arabi Emirates).
On behalf of my widowed mother Mrs. Gloria Zuma, I decided to solicit for
assistance to transfer the sum of US$18 Million ( Eighteen Million United
States Dollars) inherited from my late father into your personal/company's
account.

    I also thought these scam mails had died down but for the last few days I have been getting several a day from various people.

    My latest one that arrived about 10 minutes ago was from the rather prettily named 'Madame Rose'.
