Just thought that you may like to see the latest "scam" from our "friends" in Nigeria.
Received this e.mail early today, and just had to share it with you.
After all, it isn't every day that you receive something asking if you are "alive".

Attn:fund beneficiary.
Information reaching this office today from the President Federal Republic of Nigeria to know if you are alive or dead since alot of people have been coming to the Dept Management Office with different bank details as either your agents or representatives putting it to the Dept Management Office to transfer the said fund contract/inheritance payment into those various bank accounts which they claimed to be yours.
Please, I was mandated by President Federal Republic of Nigeria to write so as to know if you are alive and healthy and also know if these so called agents /representatives are carrying out your directivs.
Based on the new order given by the United Nation and the president Federal Republic of Nigeria, I hereby inform you that your payment has been endorsed to release to you via Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) pending when we receive your response on this issue at hand.
If you are truely alive and not aware of this ploy to divert this fund,do let us know immediately.

I'd be very tempted to write back and say that I was very sorry but I died a few days ago and only just found out today !

It is tempting Ken to reply sometimes, but I still think that the wisest thing to do is to totally ignore it.
