Dear Mr. Ryan,
Thank you for your kind offer to give me a bunch of useless web templates for $9. As a web site developer, I know far better than to think someone giving me a free template in ANY format is all I need to set up my web page.
On the other hand, having your business located IN a private P.O. box famed worldwide for hosting scammers and spammers of all kinds shows a kind of hutzpa that I have to respect.
And linking to a shortened URL that is a favorite of scammers who want to upload noxious viruses into my computer makes a statement of its own.
Having a return address and unsubscribe link go to a Turkish server that is famous for hosting scammers is another remarkable choice.
But where I began to really lose my trust in you was when I realized that your ENTIRE e-mail, including the subject, message, and fake name was downloaded from a site that sells templates for scammers to use.
I sincerely hope you didn't pay much for the privilege of using this combination fake ID, e-mail content, and dangerous links, because the combination would put off anyone with a brain. If you spent more than a few cents on the package, I would say you've been scammed yourself.
Of course, a lot of people on the internet don't have brains, so it may work out for you.
Also, do you suppose the server in Turkey would be willing to host a site for my friend the Exiled Nigerian Prince? He doesn't seem to have any luck getting people to host sites for him. Apparently he is still considered a criminal in some circles. Well, most circles, to be honest. Also, he has no active credit cards because of a series of minor, almost humorous mixups with the authorities in six, no, seven countries. But he has money in the bank that he can have deposited directly into other folks' accounts.
If you'd be willing to be a go-between for him with the Turkish server, he would gladly deposit $165,000 into your business' bank account. If you actually do know anything about web site development and will help him get his web site online, he could add another $350,000.
If this sounds like an equitable arrangement to you, please enter the requested banking information at the ENP's contact page:
http://www.exilednigerianprince.com. He'll deposit the money for you as soon as he has reliable internet access.
Unfortunately, that may take a few days. Currently, he is pinned down in the IT center of an abandoned amusement park at a tropical island with four crew members of a cruise ship he was hiding out on. There were six others, but something big and scaley with a lot of teeth seems to be trimming down the crew's size, one chomping sound at a time.
He is able to get on the internet for a few minutes every sixteen hours, because that's when the satellite they're uploading to goes overhead, but, frankly, he has other things on his mind besides web site development at this time.
I should probably be worried about him, but this isn't the worst fix he's been in.
No, actually, it is. Time to dust off those "Save the Prince Posters" that artist Aaron Miller was kind enough to create.
