Is this real?
I've gotten 2 of these e-mails....Are they real? Good Day , I NEED YOUR HUMBLE HELP I know how surprise this letter will come to you, but i would advice that you consider it as a request from a family in dare need of assistance.I am Mrs. Stella Moyo the wife of Mr.Morgan Moyo of Gwanda town in Zimbabwe.Your contact information came to me from your country's trade journal during my search for a reliable and God fearing person that can assist me and my only son, and I quite beleive on my own that you can be of great help in this regard even if i am not acquainted to you before. The business involves the transfer of NINETEEN MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS ONLY (US$19,700,000.00) into your account for safe keeping. This fund is inherited from my late husband who was assasinated by the president's (ROBERT MUGABE) aides in view of taking his lands and property because of the crisis which lead to the killing and barnishing of foreign(white) farmers. After the death of my husband (A day I can never forget) I was approached by our family lawyer who told me that my late husband had filed a document with him which stipulates his "WILL".In the "WILL" he specifically pointed and I quote, Darling, I wish to draw your attention to the sum of Nineteen Million Seven Hundred Thousand U.S.Dollars(U.S$19.7M)which I deposited with a Security Company in Johannesburg South Africa with all the documents filed by our lawyer. In case of my absence on earth caused by death only, you should solicit for a foreigner that can assist you to transfer the money out of there (SA)for investment purposes. I have saved this money to make the future of my only son "DUBE MOYO"From the above, you will understand that my future especailly the future of my son depends on this money and as such I will be grateful if you can assist us in transfering this fund to your account overseas for our investments. You can contact my son "MR.DUBE MOYO" on his Telephone number:TEL: +27-799 851 468 as he will direct you with our lawyer to arrange the modalities of transfering this fund without any hitch. For your assistance we have agreed to offer you 20% of the whole fund, 5% for any expenses that may be incurred while the remaining 75% will be kept for us under your care till our arrival in your country.God bless you for your anticipated undertstanding and co-operation. Best regards Mrs Stella Moyo. (for the family) thanks you guys! it was already in my spam but i wanted to make sure...... well no more answers are needed! i cant choose my best answer yet......

This is a scam. I heard about it on the news. I think they charge some outrageous amount to your phone bill when you call that number, and when you give them your bank account info....well, you get the drift.
3 :
No. scam, Scam, SCAM!

No, definitely not real. It's a scam that's been around for many years. It's pretty amazing that you've not gotten emails like this before. You're pretty lucky! I get at least 5 a week.
5 :
No. It's a scam. An identical email was sent to many, many people. Don't reply to it, or any email like it. If you don't know the sender, or if the name looks suspicious, don't even open it. Delete it.

It is a scam. If you think it sounds fishy it normally is.

Look at the cite below. It's a 419 scam. Someone got your email and this spammer targeted you. There are a gazillion variations of this scam. Some are blatant "I will split this money that doesn't belong to you," others have a heavy Christian hook: "need a god-fearing Christian person to help me ...." If you still have the email, copy the full headers and send the email to the appropriate email provider and/or Department of Homeland Security. (See the second link below)
