If you're still alive, they want your money

Such delightful scam - with a subject line that implies that you might be dead, but if not, contact them to get fleeced. Needless to say, this isn't a legitimate communication from the "International Monetary Fund Agency," whatever that is. Delete messages like this, don't reply to them.
