Those are interested in earning quick money can PM me, I will give Mr. Ponnapolli Srinivas Rao's email ID :hap5:
 
A quick run of the letter through Scamomatic reveals this:

This email looks like an Advance Fee Fraud (419 scam).

The following phrases should put you on alert:

"dear sir/madam":

a standard Nigerian greeting phrase

"please endeavor to ":

a common phrase found in 419 scams

"western union":

this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS! Instant wire transfer services are not meant to be used with strangers because they offer no protection against fraud. That is precisely why the criminals want you send money that way.

"million pounds", "you will be entitled to 30%":

they want you to be blinded by the prospect of quick money, but the only money that ever changes hands in 419 scams is from you to the criminals

"is 100% risk-free":

almost true for the criminal trying to scam you - arrests of online criminals are rare

Western Union or MoneyGram money transfer are the preferred method of online criminals to collect money from their victims. Such transfers are completely untraceable and therefore are not safe to use with anyone you do not know personally.

This email lists mobile phone numbers. Use of such numbers is typical for scams because they allow criminals to conceal their true location. They can receive calls in an Internet cafe from where they send you emails, while pretending to be in some office.

Why would these dumbwits even try? Is there even anyone there who would still fall into these traps after so much has been brought to light about the Nigerian scams?
 
We are looking to sell our property and I had listed it in real estate sites. So I get an email asking about details and the final price etc. I reply back with details, price etc. and then I got this very interesting reply. :P

Hello ****

I am in receipt of your email and I also thank you for the provided information about the property. Am sorry I can’t call you or receive calls at this moment based on the nature of security here in Libya but I will make out time and call you on a secured line if the need arises. The property is just a minor objective of contacting you but I will buy at your asking price. I will appreciate, if you will reserve the property for at least two weeks and remove the advert. My major priority of contacting you is to propose a deal that requires immediate and swift execution. I will provide you all the necessary detail about me once trust is established between us. Please read thoroughly and get back to me but you have the obligation to decline if you are not interested.

I am an Egyptian business man based in Libya. My family is under the threat of President Muammar al-Gaddafi due to the resolute support for a true democratic Government in Libya by my partner Fathi Salem of the Gosco trade company Banghazi Libya.

Due to the current anti Gaddafi protest in the country which led to the victimization of many Banghazi families as you can find out in this youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCveKSBenSI.Many families are running for their dear lives. I want to bring to your notice that I have in my possession the sum of (seven million two hundred thousand euro) € 7,200,000 in my possession. This is the money I have saved for my entire life.

I have secured this money in a box and have consulted a diplomat here in Tripoli who will help me in the delivery of the box to Europe for safe keeping and possible investment. This is why am in keen need of a Reliable and Trust worthy person who will receive the box, secure and protect it till my arrival which should be soon. I have to take this chance because, I have no other alternative but to trust somebody .Am an orphan with no brother or sister so I cannot risk my life here to avoid an end to my family lineage. All I have is my wife, my daughter and son. They deserve a decent life since I want them to grow up in a peaceful environment. I cannot go back to my country Egypt because of the current crisis involving President Hosni Sayyid Mubarak who is also an ally of President Gaddafi of Libya. I will relocate to your country with my family and invest the money in accordance with law, your advice and assistance. We can work together and achieve a better future for our families. Please you will have to take note that the diplomat does not know the content of my box for security reasons.

All I ask is permit me register the consignment in your name as family treasure and you are expected to retrieve it once it’s in Europe. There will be no risk in this deal; I have made the necessary arrangement the safe delivery of the consignment box to your preferred location. I will assume you are capable of handling a deal of this magnitude and also trust you to maintain absolute secrecy and confidentiality to protect this great achievement. In less than 4 days the box should be in your possession if you are swift on your part .Beware, I have taken precautionary measures to secure the money. The box is coded with high security gadget and I am the only one that has the right combination to unlock it. I will compensate you on my arrival if you are able to render this assistance to me. Please I would want you to provide the following information to enable the diplomat to figure the best possible way to have the box delivered safely to you pending my arrival.(1)Full name(2)Full address(3)Direct phone number(4)Occupation(5)Scanned copy of your ID.

I anticipate your positive response and on receipt of your information I will provide you with further details. Please respond immediately
Best regards

@arun - dude you are such a heartless fellow. See, that guy is orphan, no bro, no sis. Only his family are wife and his kids, don't you think they deserve some decent life ??? He said :

There will be no risk in this deal

I received one such mail where i won some million GBP or what, they asked me reply back with my details, phone number and all.

I did but writing hindi abuses in each column for name, address etc etc and they actually replied back with "Thank you for details..blah blah"

I counter replied "I want my money. Give me my million pounds" and they never ever responded back :P

Because Indians seem to be only people left that are stupid enough and insanely greedy enough to fall for such scams. Not only are we having numerous cases where Indians fall victim to such scams, but a lot Indians also seem to be getting inspired by such scams and devising their own to make a quick buck. Our population is suckers for free anything and people (both Indians and foreigners) are taking advantage of it. Leave alone the uneducated, even the educated people are falling prey to such scams.
 
Around 5-6 years ago a friend of mine, his cousin brother almost fell for something on similar lines. Deposit some seed money in an account, receive n%.

Friends cousin bro = officer in RBI.
