DEAR FRIEND,
MY NAME IS MR. TERRY GRANT. ALL I HAVE MAY BE OF INTEREST TO YOU, IT IS A BUSINESS PROPOSAL THAT WILL BENEFIT YOU. I AM FROM SASKATCHEWAN, CANADA. I HAVE WORKED FOR THE ROYAL BANK OF CANADA FOR OVER 17 YRS, IN AM CURRENTLY WORKING AS THE BANK'S FOREIGN LAISON AD-HOC OFFICER IN THE EUROPEAN REGION. THE MAIN REASON I AM WRITING TO YOU IS BASED ON AN ACCOUNT OF US$12M(TWELVE MILLION AMERICAN DOLLARS) WHICH HAS BEEN LYING DORMANT FOR SOME YEARS NOW, IT WAS OWNED BY A LATE CANADIAN FEMALE INDUSTRIALIST. DUE TO MY INVESTIGATIONS, I FOUND OUT THAT SHE DIED ON 25TH OF SEPTEMBER, 2001 FROM INJURIES SUSTAINED FROM AN AUTO CRASH IN CANADA WITH NO NEXT OF KIN, CHILD OR RELATIVE. I WILL INFORM YOU MORE ON HOW TO GET THE ACCOUNT TRANSFERRED TO YOU UPON YOUR RESPONSE BY EMAIL. I WILL LIKE YOU TO PUT IN MIND THAT THIS PROJECT IS 100% RISK FREE. ALSO HAVE IT IN MIND THAT YOUR AREA OF SPECIALIZATION IS OF NO IMPORTANCE TO YOUR HELPING US IN THIS IMPENDING
TRANSACTION.

I had one from someone claiming to be in the US recently, and another from a London (UK) bank. Unfortunately for them I suspect that US and UK bank clerks can usually spell and use something approaching English grammar.

My favorite (which, alas, I didn't get directly) was from the late Pope's widow.

I like the one which informs me that the writer was an arrogant and crooked sonofabith who embezzled money in his heyday and did all kinds of nefarious things... until he found the Lord, see, and the Lord told him to make amends, and if I could just help him with the financial aspect of it he would see to it that the embezzled funds made it back to good and charitable causes and I could keep a full and generous 10% for my troubles...

I think the Lord and I need to have a talk about this one.

Now, now, Jim. If you're going to be sending money to Canadian Imperialists, I think the least you could do is send it to one who's a fan.

The revolution needs to keep funds here, to support the fifth column.
