I've been getting a lot of spam recently in my email, like hundreds of fucking spam messages. Some of them are here -

My dear,
Honestly I am glad that you honour my mail,how are you today? My name is Anita Kipkalya Kone,from Kenya 24 years old and a daughter of the former Kenyan road minister late Mr Kipkalya Kones who died on Tuesday 10th June 2008 along the Cessna 210 plane crash which was heading to Kericho in a remote area called Kajong'a, in western Kenya as You can read more on the crash below:
(I've cut the link because its a link to a trojan)
Although this mail might comes to you as a surprise because we haven't meet but please consider it as a divine wish and accept it with a deep sense of humanity,I believe you will look into my condition and listen to my cry and consider me to be like your own sister or close friend. Ernestly i am writing this mail with tears and sorrow from my heart due to the condition i find myself after the passing away of my parent and nothwithstanding the whole tragic feel i was mallested and rejected without any cause simply because my mum had died earlier and we are polygamous family. Thereafter the funeral of my dad,my stepmother and my uncle with their african mentality conspired and sold off my father's properties worth milions of dollar to an italian expertrate and shared the money among themselves living almost nothing for me.
One faithful morning as i tried to open my father's briefcase,i found an important documents with which he had deposited some money in my name as the next of kin at the African development bank,Burkina Faso. I travelled down to Burkina Faso to withdraw some of the money but the Bank Director whom I met in person highlited me on my father's instruction to the bank concerning the money and how it should be withdrawn that only on the account that i am married or i should present to the bank an honest and worthy trustee who will assist me in reclaiming the fund and transfer it into his account for an investment as i finish up my education. In my search for a reliable person i have found you a man i can count on. I believe that you will not betray my trust on you but rather take me as your own sister or close friend because right now i am suffering terrible here in Burkina faso in the refugee camp as i have no body to rescue me from this strange situation in a foreign land.
I have chosen to contact you after my prayers and i was convinced that you will be the true one to rescue me from this trouble,I have the money confirmed in the bank $7.2 million in their records as unclaimed bill in my father account and i have the death certifictae and the deposit certificate of the fund stating as proof of my geneuity. I shall compensate you with 30% of the whole money in as much as you could help me make the transfer of this money into your account successfully. I wait upon your positive response showing your interest and ability to carry out this transaction and in the light of the above i shall appreciate your urgent message indicating your willingness to help me with all your mind to achieve this successfully. Thanks and God bless you as i look forward to seeing your reply.

What the fuck is all this shit?!?! The email account is a gmail one, but its still getting full of random shit like this saying they will give me millions:D

What should I do with it? Leave the email and make a new one somewhere else? I'm getting really sick of all this spam!
 
I get 100s of them..on all my email accounts. It's sad, there is a place on travel.state.gov to turn 'em in though :)
 
Find a way to block words. Block fucking everything with words like sale, special, offer, viagra etc. I've litterally blocked hundreds of words. It works.

I get a lot of that shit too. But it's blocked by my gmail, and it has never blocked anything that ISN'T really spam, even though it might look like it. My Mail app lets me read all the messages and has a spam folder of its own, where all the unnecessary shit goes. I've been pretty happy about this system of mine.
