I received an email from the "United Nations" stating I have a share of $850,000 (US). All I have to do is contact some dude in/from Nigeria. The email was signed by Ban Ki-Moon himself...yeah right.

I generally send a form-letter reply saying thanks but no thanks, I haven't finished spending the previous few million yet.  ;)

Unfortunately all that does is to confirm to them that they have reached a live sucker and know where to send additional spam.
I'm only passing it along (saving it in Evernote) to show as an example of things to avoid during my presentation. :)
