Scummiest scam e-mail ever

It starts pretty funny as these things go:

I am Clement Moore, a member of lndependent committee of Eminent person {ICEP} , switzerland.

Independent committee of Eminent person {ICEP}, eh?

ICEP is charged with the responsibility of finding bank account in switzerland belonging to non-swiss indigenes, which have remained dormant since world war11 [world war eleven]. . . { may 1945}. most belonged to Holocaust victims. . . .

Gee, guess what's coming:

It is against this back drop that a dormant account or ORDNER ADELE with a credit balance of 6,000,000 00,us dollars plus accoumulated lnterest was discovered by ME .the beneficiary was murdered during the holocaust era, leaving no will and no possible records for trace of heirs.

The claims resolution tribunal has been mandated to report all unclaimed funds for permanent closure of accounts and transfer of existing credit balance into the treasury of switzerland government of assets of deceased benificiaries who died ltenstate {leaving no wills} . . . .

So that's what "ltenstate" means. I've always wondered. Anyway, if I act fast I can split the money with Clement rather than let the Swiss government get their greedy welfare-state hands on it. Just one little thing: I'd have to pretend to be the next of kin of poor murdered ORDNER ADELE:

I have had everything planned out so that we shall come out successfuly. I have contacted a lawyer that will prepare the necessary documents that will back you up as the next of kin/benefciary to ORDNER ADELE before the funds can be transfered to you to a nominated bank account of your choice.

Classic. They'll take your money and prove you're a piece of shit in the bargain. Oh, one more thing:

My share will be 60 percent and your share is 40 percent of the total amount . There is no RISK INVOLVED.

Sixty-forty.

Update: Clement Moore, you might remember, is the name of the author of A Visit from Saint Nicholas (no link; too early in the year).
