possible, but given the number of these I receive (I have counted a dozen
in a day) the person sending them isn't very dead.
You might look on the web for information about "419" scams. That is the
number of the Nigerian law (ever notice a lot of these are from Africa, and
many from Nigeria?) that it violates. BOttom line, if someone tells you
that they want to drop millions of dollars into your bank account for money
laundering purposes, delete the email.
