And, "more" guaranteed, raise all sorts of alarm bells here.

I don't know what to do. Someone please guide me.

You opened it.

Be on the lookout for large men in black leather coats wearing sunglasses.

We will inquire about your whereabouts, when we get around to it.

Now that I think about it... go for it. It is Mother Karma trying compensate you for your persistent efforts at keeping the level of discourse at a level to be recognized as discourse, if that makes any sense. I applaud that.

that we demonstrate our admiration with this small gesture of assistance. Go ahead and book reservations for three -- no, make that six. Nick, you do understand there will be a slight upfront fee in addition to all the reservations and the additional guests, and everything, don't you?

by nicknielsen

And I thank you for it.

True karma would be the check in the mailbox, not just in the mail. :-bd

The only phone number provided in any of these emails was for a contact at the FBI, whose number inexplicably bears a 234 country code.

Isn't it?

And so soon after his birthday? You are cruelty at it's humblest.

by bergenfx

after years of trying, I never could get the "cruel, but fair" thing down. I would work hard at the cruel part, but the fair thing would just not be there. Then I would work at the fair part, but the cruel aspect would be sorely lacking.

But this ... humble cruelty, is something I think I could develop. Thanks Nexus.

In Humble Cruelty I Am Yours -- no, Your Most Humble Cruel Servant,

P.S. When's you're birthday?

by nexs

If you're pointing that at me, then I'll answer like this:

With your newfound direction, I fear a cruelty would take siege, should I give away such information.

Also, being a Grammar Police - Your as opposed to You're. :D

Come on scammers, if you're going to go to all of the trouble to try to make this sound official, use the proper grammer, spelling, and punctuation.

Let's bring this up to a new level of sophistication, and maybe you'll get some more takers.

I saw a similar email in my junkmail a few months back, good thing I check junk mail for false positives!

I quickly sent a copy to the Glenmorangie and Glenfiddich distilleries in Scotland, requesting they save all the 50 year old single malt for me until I get my bank deposit confirmed. CAN'T WAIT!!!!

(It's gonna happen....right?)

Malaga Cask, now I have to hit the government dairy after work!

Actually I just took 10 minutes to call in an order, picking up a 30 year old Malaga Cask (nice late night whiskey), and a bottle of the Sherry Wood finish (good all day sipper)on my way home. Think I'll be into the Sherry Wood (or should I have gone for the Port Wood, damn) before hitting teh pony track tonight, well prob between races too.
Well worth the time and expense.

all excited now, the day is going to crawl!
