Dear Smith Khan,

I was very pleased to receive your note. In my country it is a time of great joy and happiness. We say to you, Happy Holidays and thank you for your assistance and hard work in getting my winnings to me. I was beginning to think that I was going to have to make my own video begging Santa to give me toys, but now I don't have to.

I am ready and willing to help facilitate transferring these funds to me, but prior to accepting them I need your help. I need you to provide me with your business address, tax ID number and at least two references for without these things I will not be able to deposit the funds into my bank.

Please reply as soon as possible and I will make all necessary arrangements.

Regards,

Jack Beh-Nim-Blay

Dear Mr. Beh-Nim-Blay,

I tried to use the information you sent over and unfortunately was unable to establish a proper business connection with your bank. Could you please review the information you sent me and to verify that it is correct and then repost it to me.

Yours most truly,

Dear Mr. Smith Khan,

I received word from the bank that an overseas transaction was not able to be processed. The person that I spoke with is also named Jack. Mr. Jack Indabox to be precise. Mr. Indabox is the president of the bank and a world renown restaranteur. You might have heard of Mr. Indabox, but just in case you have not I have supplied his website for your review.

Mr. Indabox has informed me that the best way to conduct our business is for you to use a wire transfer. I have enclosed the information on how to do so here.

Regards,

Jack Beh-Nim-Blay

Dear Mr. Beh-Nim-Blay,

This information is most helpful and I am of the highest appreciation for having received it. Prior to our disbursing said funds I need for you to pay the tax on this so that I am allowed to release it.

As it is a rather large amount you are given the option of making payments in smaller portions. Once you do so I will be able to begin the payment process. Thank you for your help in this momentary inconvenience.

Yours most truly,

Dr. Smith Khan

Dear Mr. Smith Khan,

I intend to establish a payment system so that I may acquire my funds. In order to begin this process I need for you to prime the pump. Please send US$2,500 to the bank so that it may establish your account and I can begin paying you.

Yours,

Jack Beh-Nim-Blay

Dear Mr. Beh-Nim-Blay,

I intend to wire these funds in the US morning so that you can make payments. Please confirm when you receive the funds and when you begin making payments. It is a pleasure working with you.

Yours most truly,

Dear Mr. Smith Khan,

The pleasure is all mine, all mine.

Hysterical. I saw a site a few months ago where a blogger kept the correspondance going for a few months and even had the guy waiting at the airport for him. The kicker was he signed all his emails David Lee Roth.

"Auugghh!"

Next time, puh-lease put a warning at the top of your post ...

--Post contains just enough humor to cause you to snort hysterically ... Thusly, you mustn't be consuming any food or drink, as it will certainly burst forth from your nose.--

Not good, my dear man, not good.

Damn funny though!

(grin)

Thanks Jack,

OMG, that's just hilarious. I might have to plagiarize your notes and try this when I get one of those too. Perhaps I need to start replying to the "maleexhancers, male enhancers, enlargeryourxgeodl, makt it bigger" (typos intentional). I think I need to tell them that: A) I have no male organisms and B) Unless they can enlarge female toys, their sites are of no use to me. :)

(haha, sorry if that was inappropriate)

Sometimes you have to turn the tables on these folks.
