Ah, how wonderful are those Scam emails
I actually quite enjoy reading the “Nigerian” scam emails. They are normally well written and beautifully reasoned. I believe they deserve all the money they make. Here are three that I have collected recently.
Mr Marim Mohammed, how can I help?
Some Spam emailers have such a lovely, polite style of writing, we should use them as examples for ourselves. If only they just didn’t want to steal every last penny out of our bank accounts I may actually admire them a lot more. Here’s an example of one I received recently.

I should give them a call
I should call them now. I know it’ll be a bundle of small talk, but isn’t that what life becomes sooner or later? It isn’t so much what is said as just saying, just hearing, just listening, just filling in the bits between hello and goodbye.
My pants around my ankles
I looked over his shoulder, my pants around my ankles, at pictures of my knee. Dirty pictures of my knee. Before and after shots like I had never seen before. But why are my pants hanging down there?
It certainly amazes me how many ways of being contacted we have.

citizenjoe has been around for quite a long time and when I say he has been around, I mean he has been around. He likes writing and enjoys hanging out with this motley bunch of characters.
Lionel Gherkin is a sad sack with good reason, the poor bastard. You can read why in Rhumbaland. Often described as a love story gone terribly wrong. But then that's been Lionel's life to date.
Along for the ride is Shelby Wright. Shelby is ahighly respected and well-to-do-man-about-town. He is the group's cultural attache; its conscience but not really its heart.
And let's not forget Brenda Spoon. The lovely of the group. She a humourous bone that'll grab you like a meat hook and then tenderise like a piece of steak. People tell me she's hilarious; and who knows, one day I may even laugh at them.
