        Attn: Sir/Madam,

With heavy whimper in my heart I call it Vanity upon Vanity, my names
is Mr Martins Howell, I have been hit with evil pandemic Covid -19, and
the doctor said I have 8 days live, and presently I have lost all my
families through this evil pandemic Covid-19 as my only son contracted
it and spread to all family members

I was so shocked when the doctor stated I have only 8 days to live, I
cried as all that I have worked for in life is gone, all my houses,
cars, ships and my money is gone,

I drafted this message through my Doctor's PA - PC, in search of trusted
traits to facilitate my wealthy accomplishment in life to
underprivileged people in the world; presently I have instructed my
Branch Bank Manger to take directive from my Lawyer to an interested
person who wishes to handle this assignment to help humanity since
Covid-19 wants to take my life away to leave all I have worked for
underprivileged people in the world

Please stay safe and bear in mind Covid-19 is real always stays 2MT
distance from people and always wash your hands and stay save,

Thanks
Mr Martins Howell

The above is the actual scammer email received. It has been scrubbed of recipient information.
If you received an email like this you have several choices.

Ignore the scammer. Do not respond to emails. Just delete them.
Respond, but only to lead the scammer on--to get a counterfeit check, to report stolen credit card numbers, and to waste the scammer's time. Time spent trying to scam you is time not spent scamming someone else.
Report the scammer to us and we'll post their emails so others will know about that scammer.

Whichever option you choose make sure you do the following:

DO NOT educate the scammer in any way. Educating a scammer makes them better at scamming the next person.
DO NOT let the scammer know that YOU KNOW they are a scammer. The scammer will always be nice to you if they think there's a chance they may still be able to scam you. If they know they've been discovered they will often threaten you. Their threats are empty, but are scary to some people.
DO NOT give the scammer any personal information that they cannot find in a phone book (name, address, and phone.) Feel free to give them lots of incorrect information.

For more information you may contact us by email, email form, or by phone at (801) 277-0888.
