Good Day,

I am Mr. Vincent Ramah,an attorney at law.A deceased client of mine,who
hereinafter shall be referred to as my client, died as the result of a
heart-related condition on the 11 November 2001. His heart condition was due to
the death of all the members of his family in the Gulf Air Flight Crashes in
Persian Gulf Near Bahrain Aired
August 23, 2000 - 2:50 p.m. ET as reported
on:http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIP.../23/bn.08.html

I have contacted you to assist in distributing the money left behind by my
client before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this
deposit valued at Nine Million United States Dollars( US$9 million dollars) is
lodged. This bank has issued me a notice to contact the next of kin, or the
account will be confiscated.

My proposition to you is to seek your consent to present you as the next-of-kin
and beneficiary of my late client, since you have the same last name, so that
the proceeds of this account can be paid to you. Then we can share the amount
on a mutually agreed-upon percentage. All legal documents to back up your claim
as my client's next-of-kin will be provided.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction
through.

This will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from
any breach of the law. If this business proposition offends your moral
values,do accept my apology. I must use this opportunity to implore you to
exercise the utmost indulgence to keep this matter extraordinary confidential,
whatever your decision, while I await your prompt response.Please contact me at
once to indicate your interest.


Best Regards,
Barr.Vincent Ramah
(Principal Partner).

what fun things can I do?

Why bother replying? You don't need any contact with these people.

I guess I could see some merit in yanking his chain & keeping him from successfully scamming someone else, but personally I'd just ignore it.

You should find all you need to know about what to do with these people there. From dealing with them legally, to having a little fun before you pull the plug on them.

speaking of Anus Laptops,

"Anus XXL... because we all know you want the biggest Anus in town."

That's awesome.

And to go a step further, make sure you start your scambaiting edumacation by reading the Martins Cole saga.

Thousands of those are sent daily.

You don't want to respond to it.

Whatever you do, DON'T RESPOND. Then more jerkoffs will be e-mailing you.

Send him the SS# of a famous politician. That way an alert automatically goes out to the CIA and there's a much greater chance that the Nigerian Scam Bozo gets a visit from Dr. Howarya.

well i don't know how well it would work in this case but i do like to go on craigslist and look under casual encounters and hit someone up with an e-mail and be like hey. and they'll be like hey. got a pic? and im like yeah if you do. and then they send a pic and i start laughing and then send them a pic of a random celebrity like Ashton Kutcher or something and then they're like, i dont have time for your games, goodbye. But it's obvious that they do have time for my games because they're posting on something like casual encounters in craigslist. you have time for casual encounters but not games? where's the fun?
