Hi to all my family members, My primary job is computer security supporting some AF activities. For the past several years I have been receiving lots of the "Nigeria money transfer spam". Today I got one that has somewhat of a genealogy trace. So I thought I would put it out to "my family" just to be sure that you all know it is a total spam. Some people that have fallen for this kind of spam have actually been murdered. What follows is part of the message that I got.
