I get a lot of scam emails from Africa, but this one was so bad it made me laugh
An email I got from "Barack Obama". With plenty of animated American flags, because, you know, nothing says "official" like animated GIFs.

Attention,
Behold, you are reading a letter from your President Barack Obama. Finally, I have received large list of names of people that are involved into unfinished transaction in which your name was among of the said list submitted to my office by Cyber Crimes Commission (CCC), who hasn't receive their compensation payment of $890,000.
Hence it has been officially confirmed by Ghana government, presided by the Ghana President(John Dramani Mahama) that the said fund actually belongs to you and the law demands that it would be officially released to you as soon as you contact the authorized paying bank with your claim application letter.
Contact the bank as soon as you receive this message.
