I've been out of scambaiting for over a year, but still get the emails. Seeing these things slip through the spam filters got me real pissed off, so I decided to play with one for a bit...

Dear ,
There is a change of policy in our Government. The newly elected
president,Mrs. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, President of Liberia, having
vowed
to tackle corruption in the country has sacked all the entire staffs of
FEDERAL MINISTRY OF FINANCE. She has also ordered that no one should
leave
the shores of the country while our accounts are being investigated. I
need
your assistance; I am from Liberia and the Director of
Foreign Operations of the Ministry.

There are concealments of fund which I would want you to assist me
transfer into a secret account. We have been banned from traveling out
side the country pending the out come of our accounts that are being
investigated.
Please I have the sum of $65m in Europe which I would want you to
assist me conceal. I would not know the extent the investigation would
go.
You will be adequately compensated after the transfer. Please this
requires urgency and secrecy.

I need your assistance to avoid seizure of this fund. I have made the
arrangements and all I need is for you to deposit the money in your
name to avoid traces of the fund by my government. There is no risk in
this please,but I want the money transferred before the investigation
extends to Europe.
As at the moment i am in Ghana attending to other businesses.
Please get back to me as soon as possible.
Sincerely yours,

I'm jaded, so I respond:

Don't play me for a fool. I get these kind of messages all the time.

Normally I delete all these, but the Lord told me to ask how much you need.

So please, dispense with the lies, and be honest to me and God. How much do you need?

Finally! A bit of honesty (I can't believe I said that with a straight face! Laughing

)
