Think I aught to do it? (For those who think I'm serious - I'm not!)

Dear Sir,

With due respect and humility I write you this letter which I believe you would be of great assistance to me and my children.
I am Mrs Mary Kone, the wife of the late Dr David E. Kone Jr of blessed memory. Prior to my husband assassination by the rebel forces loyal of the revolutionary United Front (RUF), he was the Director General National Gold and Diamond Mining Corporation of Sierra-Leone.
Few days before my husband was asassinated, he instructed me and my children (Musa and Henry) to move out of Sierra-Leone and also to go in his underground strong room where the documents of money he has deposited in a finance company in Abidjan Cote d´Ivoire in one trunk box as family valuables and treasures with the name of my first son Mr Musa as the beneficiary. The amount is US$15.500.000 (Fifteen Million five hundred thousand united states dollars). We managed to escape to Abidjan the Republic of Cote d´Ivoire through the help of my husband´s friend who is a trawler. As our travelling document was seized.
I am now looking for a trustworthy and God fearing person who will handle this money for rapid profit for the future of my two fatherless children.
For your information, the finance company did not know the real content of the box and we do not wish them to know until the money is transferred to your account.
As it was deposited as family valuables and treasures.
Meanwhile, I want to leave Cote d´Ivoire entirely for investment of this money in your country and mostly for the future of my children. I want you to please assist us to claim the box from the finance company and to deposit the money in your account as to order
the bank to transfer the money to your account in your country. As our foreign partner.
We have it in mind to reward you with a certain percentage for your assistance. As soon as we hear from you. Do not hesitate to call me on this line Tel: 00225 07 67 37 94 immediately you receive this letter to enable us proceed in earnest towards retrieving the box and transferring of the money into your account.
Finally please ensure that no one else knows about this money as it is only myself my son, yourself and the Rev. pastor of the church where we worship knows about this money. May God bless you as you assist me.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs Mary Kone.

I've gotten that one a few times...maybe 5 or 6.

Most of the time it's the same name, two of them were different names, and that's a new name. Some of the ploys that people come up with are pretty original, I gotta hand them that.
