Hi all,

I'm in the middle of a handful of baits at the moment, and I'll post them when they're finished, but as an exception, I received this mail from one lad and I nearly wet myself. I don't even understand half of it. He's tried to use some phrases (which I'm hoping one of you guys have taught him) that make no sense whatsoever.

Anyway, enjoy:

KIND INFORMATION.
MR xxxxxxxxxx.
OUR LAW FIRM USE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO BRING TO YOUR NOTICE TO STOP PLAYING WITH OUR LAW FIRM CHAMBER FOR YOURS INTEREST AND IDIOSYNCRASY. (eh?)
WE DID NOT RECEIVED ANY MONEY CONCERNING WHAT WE TOLD YOU THROUGH WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER AND AS IT MAYBE AT THIS POINT IN TIME,STOP MAKING SOMETHING THAT BRING OR PUT YOURSELF INTO ANOTHER THING. (not a clue what he's talking about)
HENCE YOU HAVE DECIDE NOT TO SEND THE MONEY TO THIS LAW FIRM AND AS THE CASE MAYBE NOW,IF TRULY THAT THERE IS MONEY SENT TO THIS CHAMBER WHILE CAN YOU MAKE A CALL AND SEND ALL THE INFORMATION TO THIS LAW FIRM CHAMBER. (I actually understand that bit)
BEFORE WARN IS BEFORE AIM,USE YOUR TEETH AND COUNT YOUR TONGUE WELL BEFORE YOU MADE YOURSELF AN OBJECTOR CARRICAKER JUR. (I presume he means caricature, but it is still gibberish)
SEND YOUR PHONE NUMBER AND THE INFORMATION IMMEDIATELY TO THIS LAWYER TODAY SO THAT WE WILL CALL YOU ON YOUR PHONE NUMBER FOR CLARIFICATION WHEN RECEIVE THE MONEY IF YOU ARE RIGHT THAT THOROUGHLY YOU SEND THE MONEY. (another sentence that sort of makes sense!)
RESPOND URGENTLY TO THIS MAIL THAN TO KEEP SILENT FOR YOUR OWN IDIOSYNCRASY. (back to the usual)
YOUR SINCERE IN SERVICE.
BAR DR xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ESQ.
PHONE +xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

All the best to everybody

it's like it's been through a translation engine and back a few times -

BEFORE WARN IS BEFORE AIM, = Forewarned is forearmed?

It would explain what are clearly idioms in *some* language - maybe Arabic? Your boy is using a shouty keyboard which is often a sign of an Arabic keyboard (where caps lock toggles between English and Arabic). No matter, you could still find it hard to understand him all in capitals and ask him to write in normal mixed case.

Nice one!

Make sure you use the same words in your replies, and maybe throw in a few new ones...

anyway, it is his Kind Information and he's still sincere in service... so 'no problemo' I guess Smile

he must have been heavily medicated or lagered up when he remembered to bring you up to speed.

it should have read 'use your tongue to count your teeth' which is a common idiomatic expression in Nigeria.

^^^ Google comes up with a few hits, none of which explains the meaning.
www.columbia.edu/itc/mealac/pritchett/00fwp/igbo/oguamalam/03act3.html
mentions it along with several other weird and wonderful phrases that may have baiting potential.

The grasshopper that was killed by the hornbill was done in because of deafness.
You are swelling up like bread rising, what are you going to do?
Say another word and I will show you what the fire did to the rat' s ear.
The vicious woman sprouts teeth while still in the womb!
But remember that one who chases after a chicken has to fall, while the chicken's lot is only to waddle.
