This is the last email I got from my lad after I sent him to Western Union for the second time and he came up empty.

Quote:

I refer to the above. It is so disheartening that uptill this time you cannot be sincere to yourself. It baffles me this morning, that as soon as we resummed duty officially after the new year and sala holidays in our country,my secretary went to the western union ofice to collect the money for the dispatch of your parcel, only to be told again
that there is no match found.What a disgrace man.

How long will you continue to fool yourself. Stop dressing us in A BORROWED ROBE. Listen, Kennicott, it is disrespectful,malicious, an ILEDAN EYE, [I Googled this expression and came up empty] to our corporation and embarrassing to my secretary as he was messed up by your action.
I thought I was assisting a true American gentleman without knowing that I am trying to help one of the most chaffs in the USA.

"A BORROWED ROBE"? "An ILEDAN EYE"? Is anybody familiar with these expressions? I've looked around with no luck.

This was part of a lottery bait and I managed to drag it out for four weeks. I've observed that these guys disengage from lottery scams if they can't collect in about ten days.

I don't know what the "Iledan eye" means but if you've kept a lottery lad on the hook for four weeks you are to be commended! Very Happy

As you said, most twig quickly. Great job, except I should slap you with a 'warned' tag for embarrassing his secretary. Don't do it again. Until tomorrow, anyway. Wink

If you are really curious there is a translation request thread at the nairaland.com forums. Apparently even the natives have trouble with all the lingo.

"The thane of cawdor lives.why do you dress me in borrowed robes?" is a rather obscure Macbeth quote.
See here
Although the idea of a scammer being interested in Shakespeare is very odd.
Good siggy material.

Embarrassing a lottery lad at the bank is a noteworthy achievement. Here's hoping you become an even greater chaff as the bait goes on Smile

True kudos if you got him 'embarrassed'. Now its time to send him some real igbo abuse (preferably relating to deviant activity with goats).

google has no trouble finding that phrase with the extra keyword 'nigeria'.

but i came up empty on 'iledan eye' - i'm guessing it means 'evil eye'

Now let's see how long it takes for him to notice... Wink
