Using National Bank of Dubai to Spam

I received an email spam yesterday with the subject line: i tried to call you please

What is interested about this spam is that it has passed through many IP addresses although it ran through a Yahoo email service.

Those are the IP addresses with some details:

Dear , I am Mr. Mohd Abdul Rahim Branch Manager of national bank Of Dubai. I am writing following an Opportunity in my office that will be of immense benefit to both of us. In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of $7.5 million ($7, 500, 000, 00 United state dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers, Late Toni Choatean American who unfortunately lost his life in a plane crash

Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his Next of kin or relatives to come over and claim his money because we Cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or Relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.

Unfortunately I learned that his supposed next of kin being his only Daughter died along with him in the plane crash leaving nobody with The knowledge of this fund behind for the claim, and the banking law and guidelines here in united Arab emirate states that if such money should Remain after five years, the money will be transferred into banking treasury as unclaimed Deposit,

NOTE : Under a clear and legitimate agreement between you and me, we shall work together and present you as the next of Kin so that the bank can release the funds through you.

We shall share the deposit in the following ratios: 40% for you and 60% for me. I want to believe this sharing ratio is fair enough. I am prepared to welcome any amendment or suggestion you have on how much each of us will get. Contact me on my private email address (al_haj_mohb @ yahoo.com) so that I can disclose other information relating to this deposit. Thank you very much for your anticipated acceptance while I expect your prompt response.
