Hi Linda. I too get a large number of these. I usually just delete them, or report them to the e-mail provider the sender has used. Just forward them to "abuse@.." and then the provider's name; yahoo, hotmail, etc. Remember to include the full internet header so they can trace the path the e-mail has taken. There is also a very good yahoo user group to which you can forward these e-mails: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nigerian_Scam/ . It's run by a group of people who make it their mission in life to collect them and waste the scammer's time by entering into riduculous and sometimes highly amusing spoof e-mail correspondence with them; giving them a taste of their own medicine as it were.
