I received a scam email this morning. I have no idea what is going on in the heads of these scammers, but please-lah, if you want to scam make it more believable, okay? One look at the email and it's so obviously fake.
Here's an excerpt:
The Unicef Orgnasation, Would like to notify you that you have been chosen by the board of trustees as one of the final recipients of a cash Grant/Donation for your own personal, educational, and business development. The Unicef Orgnasation was formed in 1947 after WWII to help children displaced by the war. It was then called the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund. The United Nations Organization (UNO) and the European Union (EU) was conceived with the objective of human growth, educational, and community development.
To celebrate the 27th anniversary program, The Unicef Organisation is giving out a yearly donation of One Million Four Hundred and Seventy Thousand United States Dollars. These specific Donations/Grants will be awarded to 70 lucky international recipients worldwide....
...You are required to contact the Permanent Secetary below for qualification documentation and processing of your claims. After contacting our office, you will be given your pin number, which you will used in claiming the funds. Please endeavor to quote your Awarded pin numbers (U-777-1815, D-01-47) in all discussions.
So obviously scam, right?
Someone actually analyzed the email and poked fun at the numerous errors that led leaked the scam. Damn funny.
Tip to scammers: if you intend to cheat people's money, check your spelling first dammit.

It's amazing to me how many people fall for these things, but they do! The "Fake EMail Series" over at Wordout is responsible for about 80% of the search traffic there.
Thanks for the linkback!
