Worst Spam Ever, or, Mom, Don't Read This Blog Entry #2

Dear Sir,
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not yet met,but it shouldn't, since we are determined to get what rightly belongs to us anyhow,but soon when every thing goes according to plan. The message could be strange but reality will definitely dawn on you, if you pay some attention to it's content. I wouldn't have notified you but for the sake of your integrity and goodwill.Please accept my sincere apologies.In bringing this message to you, I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any personal pains or discomfort.

I am Jolly Savimbi, son of the late rebel leader Jonas Savimbi of Angola who was killed on the 22nd of february 2002.We are esperately looking for a trustworthy person to assist us in this confidential business.My late father, Jonas Savimbi deposited huge sums of money realised from the sale of diamonds and other precious stones /metals in different banks in Europe. My father is presently no more, and the movement of his family members (including me) is highly restricted. We are forbidden to either travel abroad or out of our immediate localities.

Presently, the money realised from those sails amounting to US$28,500,000.00 ( TWENTY EIGHT MILLION,FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS),which my father realised was transfered to Netherlands is safe in a security firm over there. PLEASE YOUR CONFIDENTIALITY IN THIS TRANSACTION IS HIGHLY REQUIRED. confidentialMILLION,FIVE HUNDRED have this money collected by you and transfered into your account,as blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie spam spam spam very lame spam

Thank you very much for your time and understanding.
Yours sincere
Jolly savimbi.

Dear AssHat-

Just how many millionares are there in Angola? Must be a lot, because this is the fifth letter I've gotten begging me for help from your country TODAY ALONE. How stupid do you think people are, anyway? This scam's been going on for years, only a complete and total moron who has no business on the Internet would fall for this! And why do you assume I'm a sir? JUST STOP FUCKING SPAMMING ME, You FUCKING FUCKTARDS!

Oh, and if you're going to spam an English major, at least have the courtesy to not mangle the grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Or is that part of the "English is my second language" ruse?

Die, Spammer, DIE!

This is miy favorite response to the whole Nigerian spam scheme.

Diamond Dave is my hero (and sort of insane).
Here's another good one, where the Nigerian scammers were played for fools by "James Kirk".

ha ha - an amusing excerpt from one of the FIVE similar spams I got today.
Greeting,
This letter might surprise you because we have met neither in person nor by correspondence. But I believe it is one day that you get to know
somebody either in physical or through correspondence. I got your contact through some discreet inquire from the chamber of commerce and industry, you were revealed as being quite astute in private entreprenuership.one has no doubt in your ability
to handle a financial business transaction.

Now THAT'S hilarious! I have to pay taxes this year and I'm a Marketing Department peon - how astute can I be?
