I realize this might be a non-baitable begging email (even though I suspect it is a scam anyway) but it is bizarre all the same.

98,000 live babies in one house and they don't need any diapers? Rolling Eyes

Besides the fractured English and strange statements, I also got a chuckle out of the subject line:

I'm sure they used this total non-sequitur to avoid spam filters but... how many people are likely to read an email with that for a subject?

MEDICATED GLASSES

I am guessing they meant "prescription glasses". Almost makes me think they used some translation software, except the spelling is so crappy.

The email even contains the word "begging" A pathetic letter nonetheless.

And what is a neglected item anyway?

That's one big as house. Your right he needs "FOOD STURFS" but no diapers. Confused

Definitely baitable - there is of course no "motherless babies home"

Offer to send him a container load of slightly out of date baby milk formula / second hand toys / pretty much anything an orphanage would actually want and I will bet he'll just say "we can buy that - just send money"

Last time I baited one of these morons he was going to supply me with 50 babies a month so I could feed them my pet man-eating tiger.
