Thanks to spam and junk emailers, Menogo Chewbacci, son of the recently deceased Nigerian Minister for Oil, is said to now be suffering from high blood pressure and stress, and could even be forced into a coma as a result of the recent death of his uncle, Menever Chewbacci.

At the recent reading of his uncle's last will and testament, it was made clear that Menogo was to supervise the distribution of his Uncle's fortune via the internet.

"Thanks to all the pirates and thieves sitting in internet cafes in Amsterdam, the triads and the Russian Mafia who continually bombard email users with fake emails claiming to be from Nigerian Oil Ministers", Menogo explains, "now that a genuine one, my father, whose brother has actually died and bequeathed his fortune to the masses, it is proving an absolute nightmare to try and distribute this money.

"We are all aware of the now infamous Nigerian 419 "Advance Fee" scam whereby you receive an incredibly, badly-written email from someone who seems to be your closest living friend. All he wants is $1500 to get Fed-Ex to send you hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, for free.

"Well thanks to these people who have ruined it for everyone else, it appears I can't give the money away without someone thinking I'm a fraud - I've had all my email accounts shut down because everyone is reporting me to spamjab and spamcop."
