Here is the spam that I received:  Note that the spammer
managed to include the victim's sig line/business name.

Does that tell us anything?

Good Day,  

I really hope you
 get this fast. I could not inform anyone about My trip to Ukraine, Am 
presently in Ukraine to see my ill cousin she is suffering from Kidney 
disease and must undergo Kidney transplant to save her life the 
condition is critical. Kidney transplant is very expensive here, so i 
want to transfer her back home to have the surgery implemented, I really
 need to take care of this now but my credit card can't work here. I 
traveled with little money due to the short time I had to prepare for 
this trip and never expected things to be the way it is right now. I 
need a loan of $2,950 USD from you and I'll reimburse you at my return.
I
 will really appreciate whatever amount you can come up with, if not all
 get back to me. I'll advise on how to transfer it.

Let me know if you can be of help.

Thanks,

Angela xxxx
