[RVChester]

OK, it's been awhile since I last posted but I have been really busy with work and all. But while doing the rounds of my e-mails I have come across this. I am going to have some fun with him (or her as the case may be). But all in all I admit, he is creative...oh, this made me laugh, so posting in humour...


Dear Friend,I am Captain Craig Wieslaw of the US Marine Force on Monitoring and Peace

Wowzers! That was such a thick person that wrote that.... lol
That really made me laugh.

[RVChester]

Oh why oh why...
This has already gone fun as he has sent a reply, if anyone has any suggestions to be sent to him please do let me know...
Just to let you know, I noted that in the original everything but my name was in one font, and my name in a different one, leading me to believe that this person is not too bright, or just plain lazy. Let you know the outcomes as it happens and let's see what advice I get from all of you.

You must reply with fake address, occupation, etc.

Make them jokey, but not too obvious!

I have been playing around with a few ideas, such as slowly promoting him all the way up to Brigadier General and then slowly demoting down to a PFC again...
As for my job and all...hmmm.....how does chief co-pilot in a airline operating Cessna 182s sound? Let's hear some good job ideas. I'm sure Fozzer has some good ones up his sleeve...

Don't have too good and intelligent sounding job. Just say you're a chimney sweep or something.

Also, ask him to send you a sample of the cash by Western Union as a sign of good will. After all, if he's trying to steal all this cash how can you trust him?

Make your job sound mundane, like "claims represtative for a box company, Smith Containers". And then tell him that you can use a special company account to transfer the money, but it would cost you $40 to open the account. Then have him send you 40 dollars. Then ignore him for about a week and tell him that you lost the $40 in Vegas in an attempt to win more money, but if he were to send you a little more, you would immediataly open the company account.

Why stop at $40. Say that the account requires $150 to be deposited immediately upon opening it. Then say that a further $100 is required to allow large transactions to take place within 6 months.
