Famous Scam Email from Africa

This is the famous scam email from Africa many of you may have received, heard about or laughed about, that I received in my inbox this morning.

It's so pathetic it's hilarious. Last week, Stephen Colbert of the Comedy Channel's "Colbert Report" opened his show with a shot of him moving his hands as if typing on a computer, and he said, in excited seriousness, to excuse him while he replied to an email he got from Africa and that he would soon be a millionaire.

In case you haven't seen it yet, here it is:
