No need to reply to that. I've already been in contact with Mr, NELSON MESQUITA and I've agreed to launder his money for him. All I have to do now is post a $10,000.00 bond with his company and I'll be set to receive 35% of that 21 million.

According to a report done on 60 Minutes some years ago the Nigerian letter which is the classic scam you refer to nets over 60 Million $$$$ anually from US Citizens. Before the internet I used to get that on in the mail at least 12 times a year going back to the early 1970's.

I love those guys. They are a lot of fun to play with. There is a similar thread running over in the round table where I posted a set or emails I exchanged with one of these 419 scammers (it is called a 419 scam because of the relivant criminal code in Nigeria... It is the third biggest industry in Nigeria right now). I love making them run to the airport to pick me up (I usually have $10,000 in cash to pay bribes, fees, and so on). Sometimes they want to meet in Amsterdam. I try to get them to pose in front of a web cam I know of on a street corner. I figure that If I can get them to waste time with me, they can not spend that time scamming others. Also, it is good clean fun. Check out the thread in the round table... Lots of great links....
