You know those weird, dumb, annoying spammers that just won't go away? From time to time I like to open some of their messages, just to see how dumb they can be. Here's one I just got:
Dear Friend,
I know that this message will come to you as asurprise. I am the manager of Auditing and Accounting department of Bank Of Africa here in Ouagadougou , BF. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of US$20.5m dollars in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer from Munich, Germany who died along with his entire family in July 2000 in a plane crash. You can visit this site:(http://news.bbc.co.uk/ )
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidlings and laws but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
Mr. Kumar Kedia
Yours Faithfully,MANAGER.
I don't know, exactly, what they're trying to sell, but I couldn't resist sending them a reply:
Hello Mr. Kumar,
I am very excited about these things! It's too bad that feller, alongside of him all of his kinfolk, done got kilt in that wreck. Since it happened in 2000 you should be entitled to all that money, you'd think. May I suggest that you release these funds into the failing global economy, as a gesture of goodwill? That'd be really nice, I think.
Truthfully yours,
Jim Joe Paco
