[Posible SPAM] (NIGERIAN 419 ADVANCE-FEE FRAUD SCAM FROM COLLEGE STUDENT, "BARBARA GUNNARSSON")

My malware gave me this warning and included the original scam e-mail. There’s no doubt in my mind that this is an advance-fee fraud scam from a college student. Don’t reply to this if you receive it, because “Barbara Gunnarsson” wants to steal your money.

This is the warning given by my malware protection:

He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.Before his death, he deposited the sum of 6,143,728.00 US Dollars with a bank In Canada and this fund is presently with the bank awaiting my disbursement as beneficiary and next of kin to the funds.
