Blog EntryWould I lie to you?Jul 8, '08 1:06 PM
for everyone

I often get e-mail such as the one below and as a rule they get sent into the number 13 folder. Once in a while however a letter softens my heart and I respond….

My response

Dear TOBA AHMED NASR RADY

Your urgent e-mail message was well received and so I thought to respond immediately.

By some very strange co-incident I also like you was recently in Nigeria, staying at a Hotel where suddenly a whole lot of money appeared while I was sleeping. When I checked around I found Santa Clause raiding the little fridge, (would I lie to you?) he really did raid the fridge. So I asked Santa Clause from where he got all this money? He replied that Robin Hood has been going to different hotels stealing money from those who were stealing money from the very trusting and good-hearted people who are always glad to help people in distress, and giving it to Santa Clause who always knows who’s naughty or nice.

I would suggest you find that hotel where Santa Clause makes his regular deposits of money or look for the man in tights with a feather in his cap. They’ll gladly return your stolen money in no time.

Good luck.

Very Good Wabbit...!
I wonder if he's related to that "kind" (what kind) man who is "deposed" "exile" and trying to get his money to safety from africa...
and all he needs is my Bank routing and chaecking account numbers, so he can send it to me...
Hmmm...
those africans...
he might have better luck with a tin cup an an accordian player...

You should also have reminded him that Santa Clause generally makes his regular deliveries on the 25th of December and the hotel should have open fires and wide chimneys. :)

Hope you have a relaxing day, Trudi.

Ian. :)

Jennifer - smiles at ya sis

Gary - haha indeed and they can get a chimp for free

Freya - I would think if he expected money he wouldn't want to bite the hand that fed him lol

Minx - It must be those Gremlins - it just isn't safe on those hotels anymore - grins


George - they do give plenty of warnings but you know there are still some who fall for these um cough gentlemen's scams.


Viccles - sticks a feather in your tall pink hair lol



Ian - I don't think in Nigeria is any snow. But it would be an interesting conversation explaining snow lol

Beeagain - lol is the princess still waiting?

Judy - sometimes I have to write back haha.

hey trudi... i have an idea... we can both pretend to be each other's banking agent ie. you write to them telling them that i am your banker who will forward them a certificate of authenticity of deposit etc... and you can pretend to be my banker for the scammers that i deal with. i'm pretty good at photoshop and coming up with some funny cash deposit documents.

I have written back to one. They are so ridiculous but I always worry about older people who fall for things like this. Too bad we can't find them and pull socks over their heads and tie them tight, trapping their little hands.

ROFL - ok the visual got me haha and those little hands wriggling to get lose made me spew coffee through my nose lolol
Lets go there and find them - it's easy to find them - ask them for the addy to where we should send the money - and we'll arrive in a box instead. Tataa
Oh should we be wearing socks over our heads also? Um maybe not we might tie each other up by mistake
Pulls up your socks - slips at the grip - changes your medieval steel socks and replaces them with pink and green striped ones with a tassle on the side - oh pretty lol
osuzana wrote on Jul 10
The tassle will let us know it's me and you. We will take a plain brown sock for Toba.

Goosie - I just got another one from around that area who claims to be a minister doing missionary work and of course wants me to get involved in his mission.
Now then, I being a Christian and believe in the Faith, Hope and Charity am completely willing to get involved and send the Honorable and God Fearing Reverend all the e-mail addresses of those who had written to me with tormented souls and in dire need of help, who are by such great luck right around his area. I'd say this in itself is a blessing right there.
I think the Pastor should get in contact with all those e-mail senders and organize a daily prayer where the basket will be passed after the conclusion of prayers and listened to laments while they scam each other. This should have interesting results.
Of course Master Murphy I'm sure would gladly pass his paw over the heavens and in a long *Ohhhhm* sigh give them his blessings.
Smiles
