The Nigerian spam I just got was allegedly from a brother and sister whose parents were poisoned (!) at a party by rivals, though the father lingered just long enough to reveal an immense fortune hidden in a foreign bank account...
I sorta want to send them money just for the literary ambitions of their tale, which I see as a gothic step above the usual 419 spiel.

clutches of Count Olaf..."
