I almost didn't. I'm up to 898 servings of spam though so I really should get something good out of it. I'll try to whip something up later on. Here's a little taste though, from five separate unrelated emails: "Want to be called Macho? Claim your Free 4-12 ViagraPills here with us. This allows the normal everyday person to be able to look and feel classy. You will be the envy of the people at the office. Start now, and you'll be awarded with admiration very soon!" It's brilliant! Nearly Pulitzer material and all I did was cut-and-paste. OH, I thought nobody remembered about this. I almost didn’t.

No abbreviation such as "fax" that I recall. We had one computer for the whole office too. Ah the days of IBM Selectric typewriters! I thought it was the height of technology when I got a MAG card reader. I probably shouldn't say any of this because it points out how old I am.

Several unemployed university students first used this scam as a means of manipulating business visitors interested in shady deals in the Nigerian oil sector before targeting businessmen in the west, and later the wider population.

It sounds like a fantastic rate of return. Hey why is it that the majority of these desperate persons--who have no friends and thus have to reach out to strangers via oddly worded emails--come from Nigeria? Why don't other countries have as many deposed finance ministers, widows who discovered their dead husband's long-lost relative just happens to be you, and bank clerks with access to abandoned funds? How did they all end up in Nigeria? Never understood that. Well I don’t know why you wouldn’t take her up immediately on that. It sounds like a fantastic rate of return.

She is going to send me $500,000.00 when she gets out! That sounds like a great investment.
