Gremlin found this line in one of the thousands of Russian-language spams he seems to get.

I want you to help me use the funds to help the charity,deaf and the motherless babies home before i die.If you are a good and honest person ,i shall give you the contact of the security company,so as to claim my funds before my death.Expecting your urgent response,and may God bless you as you carry out my wish.
