Will you please stop mentioning my family? I find it very upsetting, as every time you wish them well, I am reminded of the terrible trampoline incident... So much that I even found the photographs of the time immediately before it happened. I have attached a photograph that was taken only seconds before the tragedy... If you look closely you can see my dearly departed son, Egbert, performing a triple salso (a personal favourite of his) while my wife, Ethel, and other son Tarquin watch on.
Also, please note that Scammer (my dog) is also very sad.
Hope to hear from you soon. The car is no longer for sale to anyone else except you. Will you be my friend? Can I call you Rodders?

Dear Rodders
May I offer my most sincere thanks for your words of wisdom, you trully have made me see the light, there is another way! Please may I ask you to make a speedy payment.... I had to give up work after the death of my loved ones, the house has been taken from me and now I'm sleeping in the car! As soon as your payment clears I shall ship the car to you and move in with the local monks and devote myself to God!
God be with you Rodders!
How's that?!

If you're enjoying this thread, you might be interested in this web site, which contains loads of transcripts of email exchanges with Nigerian scammers. My personal favourite (not that I've read them all - there's loads, and they go on for ages!) is #34, all about an attempt to scam a Friar Augustus Tuck. The Friar plans to use the money to finance the building of a new chapel, solarium and fornicatorium...

Best scam i've read was from ebay. Someone was selling a Powerbook laptop in the states, a scammer in london set up a fake escrow site and bought the powerbook. The seller knew so played along. He said he'd sent the laptop which he had..sort of. The scammer had to pay import fee's of about £300 becuase the seller put the value of the laptop on the packaging for customs to look at. When the scammer opened up the fedex box he got a Ring binder with "POWERBOOK" scribbled on the front, and old keyboard keys stuck in the inside. And to top it all off, his friends in england went to the place where it was sent to see his expression Genious!
