Gee! This would have to be genuine wouldn't it?
I mean, if you had $7.5 million dollars to spend, how else could you find some trustworthy and honorable person to help you invest it other than send emails to complete strangers on the internet.
I think this is why she wants to see your photo, so she can tell just by looking at it that you are a trustworthy and honorable person.
Well I'm going to apply right now because I could use 15% of $7.5 million to buy some good stuff.
(Let me see now,... how much will that add up to,.... Hmmm,,...
Cor Blimey! That's over a million dollars. How can I possibly go wrong!???
I better get in there real quick before some other greedy swine hops in before me)

Drat!! and double drat!!!
I just looked up her previous letter and she had $11.5 million to invest in that one!
The spendthrift tart has wasted 4 million dollars already and I haven't even had a look in. Probably invested with someone else on this very website!
Hmmmm,.. I wonder if it's Nebbian. He seems to know a lot about it.
My guess is he's just trying to put us off the trail so he can hog it all for himself!!
And just cos she forgot the name of her father is no big deal. Obviously the stress of disposing of all that money is messing with her brain a bit.

Speaking of fraud, who has seen that kiwi program where psychics solve crimes by talking to the dead. Gee they do it well. The premise is ludicrous but to a non sceptic, absolutely plausible. They present so very very well.

fraud,? FRAUD??? What do you mean 'fraud' ?
We're talking about a great investment oportunity here, not fraud.
This looks nearly as good as the one I got a while back where one of my long lost relatives had died and left all this unclaimed money, and of course it looked like I was the only known living relative.
All I needed to do was send off my personal details, including bank account details, (just so they would know where to deposit the money for me, ) plus a small fee of a few hundred dollars to cover investigation costs to make sure I was the real missing relative (can't go giving away all that money to just anyone now can we?), and I was on the verge of receiving a LARGE INHERITANCE! (Oh joyous joy with fudge on top.)
I was a bit broke that week so I had to pass up on the great offer.
Oh well.
Anyway, back to this great offer, Miss Anita Kone sounds like such a nice person. With a name like that I think she would probably be a tall blonde Swedish girl with two beautifull big brown round and delicious,. ummm,.. eyes and,.. and,.. yeah.
So I can't imagine that she would have anything other than my best interests in mind,.. could she?
Of course you probably think that she is some big fat hairy black man with a critical B.O. problem, sitting in a stinky little hole of an office in somewhere like Nigeria.
That couldn't be true could it?
