A bit of forum fun.

Ok, been a while since I received one of those idiot emails from Nigeria/Angola etc etc.
Got this one today, I've highlighted the parts that had me chuckle.
I need suggestions of possible replies, as per those websites you see grop up.
Post them up, and we'll pick the best ones out and use them to reply to Mr Mokoro.
Anyone up for a laugh ? :mischeif:

MAJOR SEA-PORT IN MY COUNTRY ANGOLA.

DURING THE PERIOD OF MY ACTIVE SERVICES, I DISCOVERED ONE STRANGE BIG TRUNK
BOX,WHICH WE SUSPECTED TO HAVE BEEN IMPORTED BY SOME BIG BUSINESS MEN.

WHEN I TOOK THE BOX FOR CROSS EXAMINATION I DISCOVERED THAT IT WAS
CONTAINING CODED UNITED STATES OF AMERICAN DOLLARS VALUED TWENTY MILLION
DOLLARS(USD$20,000000).

THE IMPORTERS OF THIS BOX HAVE REFUSED TO SHOW UP FOR INTEROGATION HENCE
THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ANGOLIAN LAW.

IT IS UPON THIS DEVELOPMENT THAT I AND MY BOYS HAVE LIASED TO MAKE BUSINESS
WITH YOU.

WE HAVE IT IN MIND TO GIVE YOU 25% FOR YOUR EXPECTED UNALLOYED ASSISTANCE TO
HELP US INVEST OUR SHARE WISELY.

WE RE-SHIPPED THE BOX TO COTONOU THE CAPITAL OF BENIN-REPUBLIC, WHICH IS
PRESENTLY UNDER THE CARE OF A WELL ESTABLISHED FINANCE AND SECURITY COMPANY

There was a great story on the BBC news website about a group who used to con the conmen. If I can find it I will post it.

Never ever ever respond yourself to these lunitics...

Never ever ever respond yourself to these lunitics...

Why?? what harm is it going to do to me? It's come in on a disposable email address I use specifically for crap like this. It's not in anyway shape or form connected to me personally
Ain't half some paranoid folk out there

[ctolladay]

This is just pure gold...

As if by magic (and the power of the BBC search engine) here as promised a fantastic storey that had me rolling around and cheering "there is a god":

LINKY

These guys deserve respect!

Hey Jas, send him this.....

ATTN: URGENT BUSINESS PROPOSAL.

DEAR FRIEND,

I HAVE BEEN GIVEN YOUR NAME BY A MUTUAL FRIEND AND BUSINESS PARTNER, WHO YOU CONTACTED RECENTLY REGARDING A POTENTIAL PRODIGEOUS BUSINESS TRANSACTION.

AS, LIKE I, YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY A POWERFUL AND SHREWD BUSINESS MAN, I WANTED TO OFFER YOU THE CHANCE TO INVEST IN MY NEW BUSINESS VENTURE......

THIS WILL BE MY 3RD NEW COMPANY IN AS MANY YEARS: EACH OF THE PREVIOUS HAVE BEEN FLOATED AND MADE EACH OF THE 5 CORE INVESTORS OVER $20 EACH.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION AND OWN PEACE OF MIND, MY PREVIOUS COMPANIES WERE IN THE SALES TRADE. THE FIRST MAINLY INVOLVED THE WHOLESALE SHIPMENT AND SELLING OF A VERY RARE AND PRECIOUS COMODITY IN THIS COUNTRY (COAL) TO THE NEWCASTLE REGION (WHERE IT IS A PARTICULARLY SORT AFTER POSSESION. MY SECOND WAS IN RETAIL, PRIMARILY SELLING COLD STORE UNITS TO ESKIMOS (WHICH BECAME VERY SUCCESSFUL DUE TO A LOOPHOLE I FOUND IN IMPORT TAXATION OF THESE GOODS).

THIS WILL BE MY FINAL BUSINESS BEFORE I RETIRE TO ENJOY MY WEALTH AND IT WILL THEREFORE BE THE MOST LUCRATIVE. I WILL BE STARTING A CHAIN OF SPECIALIST RESTAURANTS, ALL OVER ENGLAND, SELLING THE NATIONAL DISH OF EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. THE SHREWD BUSINESSMAN IN ME SUGGESTS THAT THESE RESTAURANTS WILL CHARGE PEOPLE BEFORE THEY EAT, THUS GARANTEEING A RAPID CASH FLOW.

LIKE YOU, I WILL BE STAKING MY CONSIDERABLE ENDOWMENT AND REPUTATION ON THIS FINAL BUSINESS VENTURE AND I AM LOOKING FOR PARTNERS WHO HAVE THE SAME GIRTH, COURAGE AND DESIRES TO EARN MILLIONS WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR. I PROPOSE THAT AFTER THAT, WE PULL-OUT AND LET THE SMALL PEOPLE POUND ON RUNNING THE BUSINESS. I AM THEREFORE IN THE UNUSUAL POSITION OF HAVING TO TRUST MY BUSINESS TO THE HANDS OF INVESTORS SUCH AS YOURSELF, WHO CAN CUM ONBOARD QUICKLY, AND STAY THE DISTANCE IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE MONEY SHOT.

FOR SECURITY REASONS, AT THIS STAGE I CANNOT DIVULGE MY FULL NAME OR WHEREABOUTS, BUT IF YOU WISH TO INVEST, THEN PLEASE SEND MY YOUR OFF-SHORE BANK DETAILS TO INITIATE THE TRANSACTION.

I AWAIT YOUR MOST URGENT REPLY.

REGARDS,

IDUA ORTTAUQ
