Banker Assistant?: Just Another Spam E-mail in My Gmail Account

I've been receiving lots of spam e-mails this past few days coming from different different people and websites. For unknown reason, I received e-mails about buying viagra (hehe don't know how they get my e-mail address), from paid to click sites, from unknown individual and companies saying that they earned thousands of dollars from joining a certain website (which I know that it's a scam), or they had inherited a business or bank account and they are hiring me as their assistant - just like this spam e-mail i received offering me to be her banker assistant.
The spam e-mail is from a certain Mrs. Victoria Mambebe. I don't remembered having a transaction with this person, so I'm thinking how she'd manage to know my e-mail address. Thanks to Gmail's efficient spam filtering feature for accurately filtering those e-mails having spam content to the reliable ones. Anyways, I would like to share the content of the e-mail to warn others who might become the next victim of this type of modus.
If you receive this kind of e-mail from this person or of identical content above, then don't fall for it, disregard the e-mail and don't waste your time replying the mail, it is definitely a scam. Please inform your friends and anyone close to you about this modus online.
Age…….…Private Phone no………………. for further confidential details about the said fund.Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.Mrs Victoria MAMBEBE.

While the world is mourning for the death of the man behind the most famous name of gadget in the world, a tribute logo for the company that Steve Jobs founded has become a web hit - an evidence of how influential Steve Jobs and his company Apple Inc. over the past 50 years.
This Apple Tribute Logo (image in the left) has become viral and has become the mostly shared image in social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, as well as in various blogs where this logo that shows the original logo of Apple Inc., except that the bitten portion of the Apple was replaced by the face of Steve Jobs. The logo was created by a 19-year old student Jonathan Mark Long, as a tribute for Steve Jobs.
As a person who idolized Steve Job's significant contribution in the field of Information Technology by creating IPhone, IPod, IPad and Macintosh that have become the yardstick of every company that follow the footsteps of Apple Inc, this Apple Tribute logo deserves a spot in my blog.
I firmly believe that technological age would never been this wonderful and interesting without the products created by Apple Inc.
Rest in Peace Steve Jobs, your contribution to the world of Information Technology will always be remembered. You'll always be the inspiration for each and everyone who aspires to become like you.
