R help - Nov 2004 - urgent

Hello,

My name is Mrs. Jennifer Wilson i am a dying woman who have decided to donate
what i have to you/ church.I am 59 years old and i was diagnosed for cancer for
about 2 years ago,immediately after the death of my husband, who has left me
everything he worked for.

I have been touched by God to donate from what i have inherited from my late
husband to the you for the god work of God,rather than allow my relatives to use
my husband hard earned funds ungodly.Please pray,that the good Lord forgive me
my sins.I have asked God to forgive me and i beleive he has because He is a
merciful God. I will be going in for an operation in less than one hour.

I decided to WILL/donate the sum of $1,500,000 (One million five hundred
thousand dollars) to you for the good work of the lord, and also to help the
motherless and less privilege and also for the assistance of the widows
according to (JAMES 1:27).

At the moment i cannot take any telephone calls right now due to the fact that
my relatives are around me and my health status.I have adjusted my WILL and my
lawyer is aware i have changed my will you and he will arrange the transfer of
the funds from my account to you.

I wish you all the best and may the good Lord bless you abundantly, and please
use the funds well and always extend the good work to others. Contact my lawyer
with this specified email   jjbbsolicitor at netscape.net   and tell him that i
have WILLED ($1,500,000.00) to you and i have also notified him that i am
WILLING that amount to you for a specific and good work.I know i dont know you
but i have been directed to do this.Thanks and God bless.

NB: I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the task
is accomplished as I don't want anything that will Jeopardize my last wish.
And Also I will be contacting with you by email as I don't want my relation
or anybody to know because they are always around me.

Regards,
Jennifer Wilson

I'm sorry for this spam that astonishingly came through to the
mailing list.

It seems these guys have been "exercising" against known spam
filters and achieved more than in the past.
Also, recent versions of our spamfilter have been tuned such as
to rather produce a few false negatives {spam not detected}
with hardly ever any false positive {non-spam not delivered to recipient},
which makes a lot of sense.

We (I and local e-mail administrators) do keep an eye on this, 
me spending a little time for "manual tuning", but we do not
want to allocate too much time for this. 

PLEASE do not reply to this e-mail (at least not to R-help!). 
It is *not* relevant to R and not worth the time (also since too
many people think they know what they are talking about :-).

If you want, reply to me privately.
