I get enough regular spam as it is at the moment, including the usual "Yahoo Lottery", "Shell Lottery Winner", "I have funds to give you", "I'm the secretary to the late Chief Umpaloofah of Ubijubi". This spam is easily recognisable and is usually deleted from the inbox at a rate of about 5 mails per second.

But I was wondering, why we have not been contacted by the "BP Oil Slick Relief Fund" yet, with details of the huge sum promised to us ?

OK. Betting is open. What's your prediction for the first spam mail about this ?

I say 11 July.

anyone else care to take a guess ....

and when you get a related mail, please add the contents here so we can close betting. First Prize .. Person who chooses the correct date will have they contact details sent to the spammers.
