I received another in a long line of those Nigerian scam mails. You know, the ones that begin with:

EMAIL ADDRESS:jh_william001@mailsurf.com
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL & URGENT
ATTENTION:Chairman/Ceo

Dear Friend,

I am a Solicitor resident and practicing in Lagos, Nigeria and I am using this correspondence to urgently seek and request your assistance and cooperation
in a sensitive but highly beneficial financial arrangement.

It then goes on to say something about 50 million dollars and how if I just come on over there and risk my life and my family's small fortune that I could become his next willing victim. Hey, you have to read between the lines.

I was overtired and goofy enough to actually write back to him last night. It was a beautiful letter with a bright pink background and neon green letters:

Hi friend!
Do u want 2 B penpals? I am 12 years old. Do i need money 2 do this thing with u? I have 10$ in my piggy bank and i was saving it 2 buy my brother a new leg his got cut off in the car acident when my dad was driving drunk lasty y ear and my mom said we culdnt afford 2 get my brother a umm..pathetic? leg. i think thats the word.

u called me a friend in ur email. that wuz nice. id like 2 be ur friend, too. ill do whatever u want me 2 so i can have lots of money 2 by my brother a new leg and 2 getmy mom out of rehab and to get my dad out of jail.

ok and im not really good at math so can u just say like how much money i need to do this thing? i know my mom got some money last time the mailman came here. it was weird cuz he left it on her dresser instead of in the mailbox. i wonder why.

oh r u related 2 john william the guy who wrote the star warz music? is that his name? do u no him? that would rule. do you like britney spears or linkin park? cuz if we r gonna be penpals then i would have 2 no sumthing about u. oh where is nigeria? is that the place in new york with the big waterfall?

ok peace and love.
