My Reply to Nigerian Scam Letter

I received a Scam letter from Richard Cole who was in the security service of President Charles Taylor of Liberia. He has $12.5 million in proceeds from the sale of diamonds that he’s like to share with me. Here was my reply to him.


My Dear Richard:

What an extraordinary coincidence!!! It is certainly God’s blessing that you have found me. I too have roots in Liberia. A gentleman who I cannot name for security reasons, knew another gentleman who worked closely with President Taylor. Shortly before our good President took exile, Taylor entrusted his confidant’s friend (who happens to be my Liberian uncle) with a fund holding $22 US million derived from the sale of precious stones. My uncle is desperate to find a way to secret the money out of Liberia.

If you find someone who will help you with your $12.5 million, perhaps you would consider also having him assist with the $22 million in my uncle’s possession. We would, of course, split generously the fund with both you and your able courier.

Your timely letter has taken much stress away from my life. Since you have found me to be reliable through your personal search, I’m sure I need not provide you with references. My word is my bond and my deep faith in God prevents me from keeping that which I have promised to others.

Because of my position, it is important for me to not discuss these matters in the US. I will be traveling to Paris on the 18th of November and would be pleased to make the acquaintance of your representative at the base of the Eiffel Tower at 11:00 local time on that date. I will have a red rose in my lapel. Have your representative wear a clown suit.

May God bless and keep you well.

Me and Prince Paul Kamara almost had an agreement in which I would secure his money but after he agreed to my demand that he smuggle his sister to me as payment I backed out, I couldn't work with someone who put family second.

pagaldeewani](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/member.php?u=20574): I don’t normally reply to scammers. I was ready to hit the delete button on my yahoo email which is exclusively dedicated to my Gupshup Fantasy Football endeavors when I just thought it would be fun to reply to this scum bucket.

I recently read an article on the FBI website about Nigerian scams and learned that the scammers usually hook 70% of all people who respond for at least a buck or two. I wanted to get the scummer’s hopes up a little. He’ll see a “You’ve got Mail” and high five his buddies until he reads the response. Who knows. Maybe the guy will be so impressed with my work that he will offer me a job developing his next bogus story.

To my surprise, I got a personal email back right when i got done with exams which read "I am so happy to find you bla bla … " And the same day, my other account got this same spam… I was like … aahhh… 12 million dollar aatey aatey reh gaye…
