I have received several of those in the last year:
* whiny story about how some string of terrible disasters has
wrecked their lives
* they just need a few thousand dollars to get out of it
* wouldn't all you nice people just send them $1 each, it's only a
buck and it will help me so, blah blah blah
I send them to Spamcop <http://spamcop.net/>, just like the rest. The
pathos crap is likely a lie, and even if it isn't, spam is not the answer.
