#1 $30.5M. That could buy a lot of JDAMs and MOABs.

#2 Lessee...just this week I have received essentially the same letter from Charles Taylor's personal arms merchant (decrying those pesky UN peacekeepers!!!) and and also the widow of a Nigerian "business executive" who died in the collapse of Tower 2. Surprisingly, my heartstrings remain unplucked. Insh'allah.

#3 Lucky, lucky, lucky... Me, I'm so insignificant I do not even receive spam at all. Makes me feel less of a man.

#4 Who says folks in the Third World don't understand modernity? They certainly got marketing down pat.

#6 You people are nobody. I feel sorry for you.
I got a special, personal request from Jonas Savimbi's sister.
That's what happens when you're plugged in.

#7 I am still waiting for the money to fund the Anchorage Al-Aska mosque ~~and reload center~~. However, I am losing my patience, and my congregation is down to one. Can't hold out much longer. She would not lie to me, would she?

#10 Well, seafarious, I was going to tow a banner with my plane announcing a rally and akbar fest at the mosque, but my friend borrowed the plane this morning and is presently looking at glaciers and dall sheep on the mountainsides.

#12 ROTFLMAO. I just got almost the same e-mail this morning except that the lady was from Malasia, they had also lived in Africa, however, the amount was $60 million and the appeal was to Christians. (Christians must be harder to bribe.) MailWasher with SpamCop caught it and bounced it back.

#14 Frank---Gas prices are for regular gasoline derived from the finest Kuwaiti crude (blessings be upon its molecules) in Anchorage range from $1.62 (with blessings card) to $1.71 (infidel's price). Come on up!

#15 if you think about it... this one is pretty clever.. What groups do you thing would most likely have people dumb enough to fall for this stuff? The loony left and muslim/terrorist sympathizers! logic means nothing to these people... I wonder how many of them are biting the bait..

#16 Great sit-com idea--Mahmoud, leader of an al Qaeda sleeper cell blows all the Saudi money for a terrorist operation on one of these scams....he's got some 'splainin to do to the rest of the jihadis....

#17 I would love to see a large transfer of funds from Al Queda sympathizers into Nigerian Scam artists. The balance is perfect.

Richard Aubrey, by far the funnest post I've read today. Well done.
