This spam email had a "catchy" title. "My Apology Letter" When your heartstrings get pulled you tend to want to know what the message is about. Unfortunately, the sender was apologizing that he forgot to tell you about his latest scam.
It's unfortunate that these "snakes" feel compelled to take advantage of others. It is our mission to expose these scams to educate our readers on the multitude of scams on the internet. Below is a copy of the latest "Apology Scam" We haven't verified and we can't take any responsibility as to the accuracy of this message; however, based on the hundreds of scams we receive...we have to believe this is another scam.
My Apology letter
I am sincerely apologised for the delay of your cashier check since my client asked me to send it to you. Am sorry for the inconveinece this might have coused you, it is due to our new project with the new partner; please forgive me for any inconvienence it may cause you. However, in my concerted efforts to actualize your fund payment with the convenient time schedule, I have negotiated with Western Union manager and she has accepted my offer in paying you $7000 everyday, until this $800,000 is completed. Meanwhile, the Western Union requires the receivers name and address, including telephone number to start thr tansfer without delay. You are hereby advised to furnish them witht the required information to enable them start the transfer in your favour immediately.
