Here's one I got today:

Are You Dead Or Still Alive???

CHINA CITIC BANK
TELEX TRANSFER SECTION,
ASIA PACIFIC.

TRANSFER OF YOUR $7.5 MILLION (USD) TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT!

Attention!!!

We are writhing to know if it's true that you are DEAD? Because we received a notification message from one MR. GERSHON SHAPIRO of USA stating that you are DEAD and that you have giving him the right to claim your funds. Is that true?

He stated you died on a CAR accident. He has been calling us regarding this issue and he presented an account today to receive the funds on your behalf, but we cannot proceed with him until we confirm this by hearing from you on or before 7days. The account which he forward to us as follow.

Be informed that we have made all arrangements for you to receive and confirm your funds without stress, and without any further delays.

All we need to confirm now is to know if you are DEAD Or still Alive. Because this MAN'S message brought shock to our minds. And we just can't proceed with him until we confirm if this is a reality OR not and you reconfirm to us with the below information.

1.Your Full Names:

May the peace of the Lord be with you wherever you may be now.

Hope they're not writhing too much, they might make a mess.

I can't imagine anyone who is greedy and desperate enough (and who has email access) to fall for this, but presumably they're out there.
