I particularly like the jocular greeting - "How are you today?". :) The linked page is worth a read - it's a real UN document related to war damages arising from Iraq's invasion of Kuwait; but since this particular scam has obviously been running for a while, they've added a first paragraph that explains they are NOT going to make me rich - and neither is Josephine Johnson!
