It's both.

And please do not quote the *whole* spam - the loss of bandwidth (it goes to every 
subscriber!) from the actual spam is already bad enough.

Replying to the spammer is useless, too - they do NOT subscribe. Spammers are lazy.

Grrr: database,sql,query,table

Ok.. I'm about to slamdunk a few phrases into my procmail filters.

However, is there any way mere mortals on this list can get the full 
headers?

Just my $0.02..
Look for the web site or email they push, not the originating we address. 
Do a traceroute to it and send to abuse@... their ISP and their ISP's ISP 
and complain.  They have to be real addresses because they want you to 
respond.  Works more effectively than unsubscibing.  Also, it a LOT of 
people do it, the ISP usually will notice.

Urgent Business Asistance.

Engr Martin Douglas.
No. 16 Kingsway road,
Ikoyi lagos
Nigeria.

Tel/Fax:: 234-1-7742913
  

30th,January 2002. 



Dear sir,
REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP.

First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction. This is by
virtue of 
its nature as being 
utterly confidential and top 
secret. You have been recommended by an associate who assured me in 
confidence of 
your ability and reliability to prosecute 
a transaction of great magnitude involving a pending business
transaction 
requiring 
maximum confidence.

We are top officials of the Federal Government Contract Review Panel 
who are interested 
in importation of goods into our 
country with funds which are presently trapped in Nigeria. In order to 
commence this 
business we solicit your assistance to 
enable us RECIEVE the said trapped funds ABROAD.

The source of this fund is as follows : During the  regime of our late
head 
of state, Gen. 
Sani Abacha, the government 
officials set up companies and awarded themselves contracts which were 
grossly over-
invoiced in various Ministries. The 
NEW CIVILIAN  Government set up a Contract Review Panel (C.R.P) and 
we have 
identified a lot of inflated contract funds 
which are presently floating in the Central Bank of Nigeria (C.B.N). 
However, due to our 
position as civil servants and 
members of this panel, we cannot acquire this money in our names. I have

therefore, been 
delegated as a matter of trust by 
my colleagues of the panel to look for an Overseas partner INTO whose 
ACCOUNT the 
sum of US$31,000,000.00 (Thirty one 
Million United States Dollars) WILL BE PAID BY TELEGRAPHIC 
TRANSFER. Hence we 
are writing you this letter.

We have agreed to share the money thus:
1.  70% for us (the officials)
2.  20% for the FOREIGN PARTNER (you)
3.  10% to be used in settling taxation and all local and foreign 
expenses.

It is from this 70% that we wish to commence the importation business. 
Please note that this 
transaction is 100% safe and 
we hope THAT THE FUNDS CAN ARRIVE YOUR ACCOUNT in latest 
ten (10) banking 
days from the date of reciept of the 
following information  by TEL/FAX: 234-1-7742913: A SUITABLE NAME 
AND BANK 
ACCOUNT INTO WHICH THE FUNDS 
CAN BE PAID.

The above information will enable us write letters of claim and job 
description respectively. 
This way we will use your  
company's name to apply for payments and re-award the contract in your 
company name.

We are looking forward to doing business with you and solicit your 
confidentiality in this 
transaction.

Please acknowledge receipt of this letter using either Tel/Fax number  
234 1 7742913, I will 
bring you into the complete picture of this pending project when I have 
heard from you.

Yours Faithfully,
Engr. Martin Douglas.
