I've done this before but not since I've returned to baiting, so I thought I'd try it again.

Lads like their forms. Here's one I received recently from a dying lady's banker so that she could transfer her wealth to me before she passed away.

That's no good! I could easily complete that, return it, and everything would proceed to the next stage of the script (probably a payment request). Where's the fun in that?

So, ten minutes later...

With an accompanying email to explain that, try as hard as could, I just couldn't work out what language the form is in.

I wrote:

Dear Miss [Banker],

Thank you for getting back to be so quickly. I feel time is important because Mrs [Dying Widow] appears to be on the boundaries of life and we must get this business finished very quickly.

However, I think that you attached the wrong form to your email. I tried to work out what the letters are but I hd to give up. I showed it to a friend of mine who knows many languages and he says it might be Russian letters, but I've looked at a book telling me about Russian letters and I only recognize a few on your form.

I realize that you probably deal with many people from all over the world but I require the English form with Roman Alphabet letters, please.

Also, don't delay in attaching the correct form because I've already told you that Mrs [Dying Widow] does not have a long time left.

regards,
RJ

The last time I did this, I got an apology saying that the lad had probably accidentally attached the form upside-down! I hope there's some novel excuse this time.

If anything amusing is said in reply, I'll post it here.

I find it interesting that you did not Flip the bottom part.. I am curious if lad notices

Hmm! What I didn't mention (because I didn't think it would be relevant) is that the banker has two email addresses.

Part of my delaying tactics was to ask Mrs [Dying Widow] which email I should write to.

She replied I had to write to both.

Okay, I did that.

And two emails came back, one from each email address, identical and with the form attached. And two hours apart. Different lads, maybe?

When returning the Russian(?) form, I picked an address at random and just wrote to that one with my form complaint.

The bank has resent the same email with the same form from the email address I didn't reply to!

Naturally, I replied to the other (i.e., original randomly picked) address!

I wrote:

Dear Miss [Banker],

I returned your Russian (?) form this morning and requested you send out an English language version.

I would not write so soon but as I understand it, your client, Mrs [Dying Widow], is very ill and has maybe only hours left to live. This business must be completed before she passes away or else too many motherless orphans will be deprived of Mrs [Dying Widow]'s kind generosity.

Please reply.

regards,
RJ

I wonder how long we can keep Mrs [Dying Widow] alive, with me replying to the other address when the lad sends me subsequent parts of his script, claiming I never received anything on that address and reminding them that Mrs [Dying Widow] is hours away from death.

I can foresee much confusion for your lad ahead-which addy is going to get the money? None

^^^ The confusion when that WU payment is sent to a third e-mail address.
