I gave up monitoring these offers five years ago. As you can see from
the list at http://dave.org.uk/nigeria.shtml, at the time I got bored I
had ignored offers of over $220m.

Currently I'm getting between five and ten of these a day. And that's
not including the ones that are caught by my spam filter.

And it's not actually very funny. People still fall for this stuff.
