Pop messing with Nigerian Con Artist

I know this is long, but it is very amusing. My grandfather lately has taken to messing with Internet con artist. They are usually from Nigeria. Typically they say they have a bank account with funds, either from a long lost relative or some other source that they want to provide to you. The catch is you need to send them some money so that they can process the whole thing. The first email is in the bottom. I think it is hilarious, but maybe that is because I am a little twisted like pop. Enjoy


Dear Mrs. Johnson, I am sorry for the delay, but can Yorkie (I have already decided to name him Yorkie) Isn't that a great name for him?? Will he be able to survive the climate in Africa until than? Would it be possible for you to get the balance so we would not have to wait? I have tried desperately to get the other $100.00. I really have nothing worthwhile to sell. If you can't wait, Yorkies health should be the first consideration, but I only have the $100,00 and won't have the rest until September 12th. You will have to decide what to do. what's best for Yorkie. I am humbled and depressed, but what can I do. I have already made a mental attraction to little Yorkie.

Sincerely, Mr G

Thanks for your email. i am more than convinced that you will take good care of my baby. I will not like to use any other shipping agent beuase i cant afford my baby to be maltreated on his way to you. People arround told me that the shipping agent is very good and has been helping people in the neigbourhood with the shipping need for quite a while. I believe we can make it happen. I will be able to raise the sum of $200 too. I will get shipping agent payment information and have it sent to you>for payment while i will pay my own part of the money.>Thanks very much for giving the puppy a home. May God bless you richly.

Nicole.

Dear Mrs Johnson, I am very disappointed. I do not have $400.00 for the shipping. As I stated in my previous mail I am a senior senior citizen and rely on my Social Security for substinance. Rarely do I have enough money through the end of the month, and have to borrow to get me through the end of the month. I would love a> little Yorkie, but the most I can raise for the shipping is $200.00. Perhaps you can find a less expensive method to ship that poor little dog.

Sincerely Mr G
