weird sort of spam. Most distasteful. Have deleted it.

Hans, it was along the lines of

Dear

I am Dr Stephen C, we have a patient who is dying, the wife of the late German-sounding name.
Please contact her on
Her name is a clickable link.

As I don't click on links from strange people, I'll never know what it would have led me to.

I have had a Nigerian version of this email many years ago. The story was that the husband and wife were great philanthropists, wife carried on the work,she has no family and is looking for someone to pass control of the charitable trust on to and has not much time yadda yadda. Hook is that the person who controls the trust will be well recompensed for their work, please please respond to this email ASAP because this poor lady has not much time.

Quite wise Alba.....Never click on any links which are in E/mails from unknown personnel. They could really upset your Computer equipment with all sorts of viruses, malware, etc.
