I recieved this email today.

Dear Sir or Madame:
My name is Uday Hussein, son of Saddam Hussein, the rightful leader of the
Iraqi people. Though we have not met before I hope that reports of your
personal integrity, reliability and respect for the power of money prove
well founded.

As you are probably aware, imperial forces of the United States and their
British lackey's have taken control of certain sections of my country
against the express will of all freedom-loving peoples and the United
Nation. This temporary setback will be remedied in due course, but until
that time I have urgent need of a trusted partner for the transshipment of
certain wholly legal funds totaling US $78,500,000.00 (Seventy-eight
million, five hundred thousand dollars).

These funds currently reside in the Mexico City branch of the Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS) in the name of one Prescott O'Reilly, a fictitious identity that my father and I chose to avoid certain marauding international banking inspectors. My reason for seeking your assistance is to avoid the attention that any significant transfer of funds to my name, or that of my father's might incur.

You have been chosen because you bear no familial or financial relationship
with myself, my father, the Iraqi government or any government-owned Iraqi
corporation, and you have shown a marked distaste for the imperialist
warmongers in the current illegitimate American government.
In exchange for your assistance, you will receive, in advance a 1% (one
percent) consideration ($785,000) followed, at the completion of this
transaction, with a further 3% (three percent) commission, ($2,355,000) as
well as the heartfelt thanks of the Iraqi peoples.

I am currently residing in simple worker housing in the vicinity of Kansas
City, MO with a number of loyal Fedayeen militia. I would like very much to
meet you, in person, at some agreed location midway between your residence
and Kansas City where we can further explore the details of this
transaction.

Please let me know immediately whether or not you are willing to assist us
through my e-mail address and provide me also with your phone & fax numbers.
Finally, I crave your indulgence to treat this correspondence confidentially
in order not to compromise my family, myself or the important work in which
we are currently engaged.

Sincerely,
Uday Hussein

I received the same message, but mine was from Ozzidi Ude.

Let me know how it turns out... I'm a little afraid that it might be a scam.

I got the same one from him
