Orphans to the left of him, orphans to the right of him, orphans in front of him, dithered and blundered… and here’s one who blundered worse than most.

Dear sir/Madam
There is a refugee called Tony Okoloko who came with a consignment box contain $7.7million usd, from Sarrie leone, as am contacting you the box is in my house with the boy.

I wait to hear from you very urgent.
Thanks.

You'll see that both cards look as though they were clipped out of magazines. Also, note that the "refugee boy" is from Sudan, not "Sarrie Leone", and that he's 45 years old.

I have no idea why you'd expect me to look after a complete stranger - hell, I don't know you either. I'll need a lot more information to make a decision on this matter.

Dear sir.
I received your mail , we took $5000 from the total amount in the consignment and went to Access bank at spentex road if i can make transfer,but getting there the bank refuse to accept the dollars bill, he said because are old dollars bill the only way the bank can make the transfer, there must switch the old dollars bill to news dollars.
There directed me to meet the bank manager who advise me to create domiciliary account with the bank which is dollar account to enable the bank to switch the old dollars bill to new dollars and deposit in the account ,before there can transfer to you.
The bank manager told me all the process on how the money can be switch that they are taking 70 % of the total amount $7.7 Million, the bank are going to obtain all necessary document to get the dollar switch to new dollars to be legal tender.
The bank said before processing i most to open the foreign account with the bank,and i cannot open with the old dollar bill the bank only accept new dollar bill for legal tender. It cost $1.500 usd, to open the dollar account, i told the bank manager i will be back tomorrow.
So we went to foreign exchange to confirm if there will accept the dollar there refuse and told us to go to the bank, now i dont know if anyway we can open the account, the bank manager told me as i open the account in two working days there will switch the money and deposit 30 % in the account there i can transfer to you without hindrance.
But i think if we can put our heads together we can open the account to get the process done because we are not paying for any charges, before switching the dollars to the account. The bank manager said their interested because the amount involve its huge money.
I want to hear from you what we should do.
Thanks, with regard.

You received my email but you don't seem to have read it. All that talk about changing money doesn't tell me anything about Tony Okoloko and your voter record doesn't tell me anything much about you. Please make it go right.

So the "boy" was now 28, with a deep voice, and changed from a boy to a grown man back to a young boy during the conversation. There is also the customary repetition.

Alas, Mal's scorn and outspoken atheism was too much for the Lad.
