I recently recieved this heartfelt email...


FROM: HELEN KOLONGA
LOT 125 AV. DES
QUAIS RUE 7 08 BP 441
ABIDJAN-COTE D' IVOIRE.

I DO APOLOGIZE FOR APPROACHING YOU IN SUCH A MANNER, BUT CIRCUMSTANCES FORCED ME TO CONTACT YOU. I WAS FORMERLY A MEDICAL STUDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ABIDJAN, COTE D IVOIRE TILL MY PARENTS AND MY ONLY BROTHER WHERE KILLED BY THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT BECAUSE MY FATHER WAS AN OPPOSITION LEADER TO THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT.

BEFORE THE DEATH OF MY FATHER, HE HAS $4.5 M USD (FOUR MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.) IN A DOMICILIARY ACCOUNT WITH A BANK IN CÔTE D'IVOIRE WHICH I AM THE NEXT OF KIN.

I HUMBLY NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THE “FOLLOWING WAYS”:
1) TO HELP GET THIS MONEY TRANSFERRED TO YOU.
2) TO SERVE AS THE GUARDIAN
3) TO MAKE AN ARRANGEMENT FOR ME TO COME OVER AFTER THIS MONEY IS TRANSFERRED.
4) TO LOOK FOR A GOOD VENTURE WHERE THE MONEY WILL BE INVESTED.

I AM READY TO COMPENSATE YOU FOR YOUR EFFORT IN ASSISTING ME.

YOU’RE SINCERELY,
HELEN.



I figure I'll give her my social security number, birthday, and address.

Well, Helen said:

"3) TO MAKE AN ARRANGEMENT FOR ME TO COME OVER AFTER THIS MONEY IS TRANSFERRED. "

Maybe you'll get lucky.

Helen doesn't sound Nigerian at all!

Send back spam from another e-mail and see what happens.

Today is a pretty slow day. I'll prolly play along for amusement. Also, I would've never know what 4.5 M USD meant if she wouldn't have told me. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif

You know what guy annoys me? The guy who sends me e-mails who wants me to make my penis bigger, trust me, it's big enough.

I'd make you a Seymour sandwich, but we're all out. Will a Moo2u suffice? I can put grape jelly on it, too.

I didn't realise people still /bothered/ with that scam. It really is pretty dumb (Waits to be flamed for stating the obvious). Nonetheless, do you reckon anyone actually fools for that?

As long as the grape jelly is made in Switzerland by a man named Konrad. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

holy crap i just got the best idea EVER. instead of just giving her your info, we can give her FKLs info, then FKL could recieve the compensation, and we could advertise it on tvs and stuff! then we can address the psu general problem easily http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif!!!!!1111!??!

So does that hold true for penis-enlargement advertisements? My hotmail account is currently chocked full of those.
