Bad SPAM

Some SPAM is fairly creative, and some is downright ingenious with the clear effort invested in using bank logos and such. On the other hand, some SPAM is just laughable. I present for your enjoyment one of the worst examples I've seen in years. And that's really saying something.

Oh, and as an afterthought, who the hell would be so gullible as to respond to this? Fascinating. And kind of sad. The second paragraph made me laugh so hard that I shot ginger ale out of my nose.

"My late father happens to be in control of a large number of farms including cattle's and many sheep before he was poisoned by his foreign business partners in Paris with my mother in one of their farmers association meeting because of greed."

A run-on sentence of truly baffling and epic proportions. I wish I had "cattle's and many sheep!" Oh, life would be so sweet!

GENUINE ASSISTANCE NEEDED CAN YOU HELP US INVEST OUR LATE FATHER FUND?????

Dearest Beloved,

Please kindly go through this letter before you pass judgment because I am in need of assistance. I am Mr.Saad Sanusi the son of late Dr. Alahaji Bugora Sanusi from Liberia. I must confess my agitation is real, and my words is my bond, in this proposal.

My late father happens to be in control of a large number of farms including cattle's and many sheep before he was poisoned by his foreign business partners in Paris with my mother in one of their farmers association meeting because of greed.

But before his death my late father deposited some amount of money outside our country in bank at the tone of Four Million Eight Hundred United States Dollars $4,8 Millon. So I and my little sister are no longer safe here as the present government of Liberia are working with almost all the killers of my late father as one of them has been just be made a minister, name undisclosed because of security reasons.

Furthermore we have contacted the bank where the money is deposited and the bankers let us understand that they signed an agreement with our late father that the total money must be transferred into his foreign business partner account undisclosed to them and that is the major reason why i am contacting you now for assistance.

All I needed from you now is your full names and address including your direct and personal telephone number for easy communication as you know that this transaction is a very confidential one.

Please Kindly get back to me immediately after you must have gone through my message fill free and make it urgent. That is the reason why I offered you 15 % of the total money amount, and in case of any other necessary expenses you might incur during this transaction.

N.B Try and negotiate for me some profitable blue chip investment opportunities which is risky free which I can invest with this money when it is transferred from the bank here, personally I am interested in estate management and hotel business, please advise me.

For more explanation write me through my alternative e-mail address (saad2008@xxxxxxxxx) or my private tel phone number +22505xxxxxxxxxx

And promise me and my younger sister to be a good guardian considering our situation and not to betray us.

Thanks and God bless you and your family.

Best regards

Mr.Saad Sanusi
