Thought others would get a kick out of this as I do.....the grammatical errors are hilarious

received via email today

Greetings
I am the only Daughter of my late parents Mr and Mrs Nelson Smith. My
father was a highly reputable business man who operated in the capital
of Ivory coast during his days. It is sad to say that he passed away
mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad on the
12th September 2010. Though his sudden death was linked or rather
suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who traveled
with him at that time. But God knows the truth! My mother died when I
was just 6yrs old, and since then my father took me so special. Before
his death on September 2010, he called me and informed me that he has
the sum of Five Million, Seven Hundred thousand United State
Dollars.(USD$5,700,000.00)left in fixed deposit account in one of the
leading banks in Africa. He further told me that he deposited the
money in my name, and also gave me all the necessary and legal
documents to this fund with the bank. I am just 21 years old and a
university undergraduate and really don't know what to do. Now I want
an account overseas where I can transfer this funds and after the
transaction I will come and reside permanently in your country till
such a time that it will be convenience for me to return back home if
I so desire. This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a
result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast. The death of
my father actually brought sorrow to my life. I also want to invest
the fund under your care because I am ignorant of business world.
I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards.
Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded. Now permit me to
ask these few questions:
1. Can you honestly help me from your heart?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for
you after the money is in your account? Please, consider this and get
back to me as soon as possible. Immediately I confirm your
willingness, I will send to you my Picture and also inform you more
details involved in this matter.

Kind Regards,
Miss Monica Smith

I don't think this is ridiculous at all...she really needs someone's help, and she picked you. Do her a solid.

I actually received a check for my boat that I sold to someone like 'her.' It hung on my office wall for a few years. The check was about $15K for a 30-year old sunfish.
