「故ブット元首相の息子」からメールが来た話
海外からのスパムメールに悩まれている方の多くは、例の「Nigerian Letter」型のメールも数多く受け取っておられるものと思う（こういうのを英語で「advance fee fraud」というらしい。上のリンク先のWikipediaにけっこう詳しい解説がある）。日本だと典型的には「M資金」もの。こういう手合いのやつは、そのときどきの流行を取り入れてどんどん変化していくっていう話を前に書いたことがあるのだが。
今回も新手。他にも同様のメールを受け取った人はたくさんいるはず。「差出人」は、先日暗殺された（合掌）パキスタンのベナジル・ブット元首相の長男で、こないだ野党・人民党（PPP）の共同総裁に選ばれた「ビラワル・ブット氏」、を名乗る人物。
こんな文章。原文のまま。
Good Day to you, My name is Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Son of Benazir Bhutto.I hope my email meets you well; I am desperately in need of your assistance as you are aware all over the news my mother was brutally murdered in Pakistan till now there has been no arrest whatsoever. She kept some funds hidden that she wanted to use for the elections this year in Pakistan. A total of $40 Million US dollars. I need your help to keep the funds safe and invest it for me. But since she is dead we cannot use it again for elections. As you know my surname is a big give away now and for security reasons i would love to put you in charge of the funds. I would hand over legal rights to you, to represent me and handle the funds on behalf of my family. I really need your help; 20% of the total amount is your compensation. That is around $8 Million dollars. Now all i need from you is your full name? what do you do for living etc? How can you invest and make sure that the funds will be safe? Everything is in cash and the money is legal. Once i hear a positive reply from you i will send you more details. Waiting to hear from you. Regards, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari
ハイご苦労さん。改行もなし。Capitalizationなんかもあちこちまちがってるし。よく思うんだが、こういうのってそれらしい便箋の手紙なんかで書くからほんとっぽく見えるんであって、こういうふうにスパムでござい的なつくりでたとえ何千万人に1人であろうとだませたりするもんなんだろうか。
