Not exactly spam, but an amusing email I recieved whilst trying to sell something:
Bit in bold is just . He just assumed I was white myself I guess!
Naturally, I did not proceed after this
Hello,
Thanks for your swift respond,I'm okay with your best price but i ll offer you £186 So I would like you to ignore other offers and hold it for me consider it's being sold to me permanently...I will offer you an extra £30 only if you can keep it for me and I will come for the pick-up or i'll rather send my freight agent to handle it.Kindly provide me this below details for your payment to be approve.
(1)Cheque payable to:
(2)Home Address:
(3)City
(4)State:
(5)Post code:
(6)Country:
(7)Telephone number/mobile phone:
A well-known business association have agreed to make payment out to you on my behalf. You should be expecting a U.K Cheque for £2,450 which include the shipping fee to cover the shipping expenses on me because the excess fund is not made for shipment alone i have so many consignment they will handle for me so am paying them totally thru you because i don't trust other as they are blacks so i prefer dealing the person of my complexion because all white are so sincere and transparent.
I'm scared because i have not done this before.Simply because my client couldn't issue out a separate cheque's on a single transaction like this due to company policy, as soon as the cheque clears in your bank you deduct your cost of charges including the compensation and for your assistance,
Then the rest would be sent to my freight for the pickup in your location Mr Godwin who's in presently in Cairo Egypt for pick-up trip.
I hope I can trust you with my rest balance which you will send to the agent?
You can reach me on 07031****** if you have any question.Your kind gesture will be so appreciated hope to read from you soon
Regards.
Mr S. Taylor.
