They just wont leave me alone :)

After the last post I made about the Nigerian Money scam I must have had at least another 100 emails from 100 different people.

Not sure why this is happening, whether they are just picking on me or what.

However it looks like it is time to swing ito action again, so let's see how far this one goes

Here is the original email, received today:

My reply was as follows:


Hello Pamela,

Thank you very much for writing to me, I do appreciate it

However, I am not looking for a daughter at the moment but if you are interested , I am looking for a wife.

So, if you change your mind then please send me a picture of yourself so I can decide whether to proceed or not

Thank you in advance

John

 

Ahhh, I had forgotten something so I followed up a few minutes later with this message:



Pamela,

Sorry I meant to also mention that if you are interested in marriage I would also insist of a dowry of at least 3 pigs and a fat chicken, so if you could forward me pictures of those as well it would be appreciated.

John

 

lol...

 

Too funny!!! ;D

 

These are always fun.

 

Your going to send her the pics right? That would not be right if you just left her hanging there. Give her a Goat for a Bonus.

 

I think I see a reoccuring theme developing here....but I could be wrong

 

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, don't tell anyone, it can be our secret
