So the other day I got this e-mail from a guy in Kuwait, somewhere like that. I don't know how he found me, but he said he had, like, five hundred thousand dollars but the government wouldn't let him take it out of the country himself. And he wants to move to this country, but he can't get to his money. But if he had a thousand dollars to bribe a bank official, he could.
So he's offering me half of the full package, which is, what, two hundred thousand dollars? You know I jumped on that quick. He said he would put the account in my name or something and I would send him a thousand dollars to pay off some bank dude. Then I would cash out and we would split the money when he got here.
So now he's got my thousand, and pretty soon I'll be sitting pretty, on top of a mountain of green.
But I was wondering:
Do you think I screwed him too bad?

Jim, I happen to know you're already a wealthy man. Besides, I already have plans for the money.
I'm going to use it to pay for the gas to fill my vehicle. All the way to the F.
I have an oil field in Iran for only $999.99, any takers?
Posted by: Pete on June 21, 2004 10:19 AMReceived the same letter from The Ivory Coast in Africa and then South Africa. Played a great game of cat and mouse with him by e-mail. One guy was great. First, he had a 16 year old sister, who by e-mail number four, was a little girl suffering in the hospital. They of course, were orphans trying to get a hold of their dead father's frozen account of $8,000,0000; of which I was promised a healthy share. They even started to refer to me as "uncle." South Africa's e-mail was to inform me of my $500,000 winnings in the national lottery. I have kept the e-mails as a source of amusement; needed on days here in the cradle of liberty when, say, the Phils drop one to the Red Sox a dozen to one.
