Standard advance fee, but I love the names. How did they change the date to Jan 4, 2001? I almost missed this gem cause it ended up at the end of my Yahoo! mail queue.

I have to admit that I usually decide which Emails I am going to respond to according to if they have a funny name... Embarassed

Do you think they might be interested in a suitcase that I left behind in Ghana or Liberia on my recent trip to Africa..?
I still have the airport locker key.. Wink

Has anyone else dealt with "Professor Prof Smith William Shaboe Doll"?

Well, he signed as "Prof Smith Doll", but his barrister threw in the extra names and redundant title.

Isn't it "OBI NATIONALITY NIGERIAN"? This would make it "Dear Mr Nigerian."

Back in mid-2006, a banker Lad named Edoho Udobong claimed to be the Chief accountant for the Central Bank of Nigeria - no problem there - but he signed off as "MR.EDOHO UDOBONGACCOUNTANT GENERAL(CBN)". So of course I called him "Mr Udubongaccountant". He didn't seem to care about that, but he did stop writing to me after I used the word "bloody" in one message. Go figure...
