'Amarican Dolloars'.... ha ha!

Saw this posting in a Scam Alert forum. The person posting it just only 'believe it a scam'..?  Oh come on! It's so obvious.  Sad to say, some people do actually fall for these ridiculous phishing attempts. (Hey, it's from Ghana... if only it were from Kenya, then everybody'd believe it.)   Ann, what would happen if someone attempted to deposit this in the Key West State bank?
