    If you receive an e-mail like this, the FIRST thing to do is contact the
    bank given in the e-mail.  Let them know that their client is involved in
    mail fraud.  Secondly, I would use the mail header and contact the sender's
    ISP.
    Should take a whole 10 minutes out of your busy day and hopefully will teach
    this guy a lesson.
