Good/Bad news from the Union Bank of Nigeria
This short note came in a couple of days ago. It's exactly clear who they are targeting with this one. I don't think they are trying to get the casual reader who has never heard of 419 or lost money in Africa.
To me, it looks as though they are trying to catch previous victims anew.

Hey there. My dad got the same mail today. Is it dangerous ore anything!?? Because he wrote back..
Hope you answer me.
Lollo,
there is no physical danger, but there is the risk of losing money.
You should tell your Dad how the scam works and advise him to break off contact with the crooks.
