I LOVE the fact that within reason you can say anything in response to a lad's e-mail as it's evident they don't read it!

I replied to one yesterday and changed $18M to $918M and then referred to it:

Dear Mr Saskia,

I have received your e-mail with some considerable surprise as I'm sure you can appreciate. To be told that I am the potential beneficiary of almost a billion dollars is quite wonderful and will certainly help with the repairs to the Church roof and sanitary system.

The latter is the most pressing as it's been backing up for about 3 months now and Mrs Priggins the cleaner is getting a bit fed-up with mopping up huge amounts of excrement, especially after the thrice-weekly curry & hymn nights. She'll be whooping over the moon when I tell her 'no more turds'.

Anyway what do I do now Sir ? And who is Denio Menezes?

Blessings.

PLEASE LEAVE THIS SPACE EMPTY: [_______________________________________]

Just had his next-step-mail and there's no reference whatsoever, nor did he tell me who Denio Menezes is....

No, they don't read much early on in the bait. They stick to pre-typed messages (scripts) that bring them the most money. It's when you start causing them problems (WU not accepting payments, fake receipts) that they start paying attention and respond by hand (off script).

You can actually use this against them later on. You can drop important facts early then get mad at them later for not remembering them. Then they have to scramble and reread your early messages. Laughing

Brilliant

There was a thread some time ago showing how love lads never read any message until they see currency symbols. I can't for the life of me find it but it was so funny. The author just typed what sounded like delerious ramblings which went completely un-noticed.

If anyone knows the thread I'm on about and can find it that would be great.

^^^ Hey, lads aren't in it for our mental health or riveting conversations. If they will take money from cancer patients, you can be damn well sure they'll try to take it from someone who thinks the bills make a nice hat. Wink

Dangnabbit. Lately my lads have been reading what I write!! What am I doing wrong? Confused

@sunshine, your dragon bait was brilliant and random, but not quite as random as this thread (which I finally found)

For example:

Thank you for your email. As always your writings fill me with joyus custard.
Today a pilchard embarked up the side of a tree. it was still in its tin but sang like stapeler happy with the ninth calling of a timbuktoo timetable

Definitely worth a read Laughing
