since SERAMA AND EGGS are all in caps and the rest of the letter isn't - it looks like the phrase was pasted in some kind of form. Don't even respond.

Man, ya'll don't know how to have fun!!!

Now's when you send the email...

I'VE GOT THE MONEY BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO WESTERN UNION IT TO YOU CAN YOU GIVE ME POINTERS?....

I've had so much fun with scammers at work it's hilarious. The Nigerian Internet Relay for the Deaf is a fantastic one...I managed to get 4-5 credit card numbers last year (dont' worry, I called the credit card companies with the info...didn't get but one thank-you from a credit card owner, though). Even got 20 Next-Day UPS shipping tags emailed to me....the tags would have worked and UPS would have been out the freight before they would have caught the scam.

Anyhow, you can string these guys along for quiet a while....use your imagination....

*act dumb, but willing
*let'em know how excited you are about the birds and eggs
*let'em no the money's no problem but you're having trouble getting it to them...you don't understand how to do it
*inquire about the welfare of the birds
*tell them you sent the money but if it didn't make it you will have to send again
*ask them if you can mail them cash

*tell them how helpful they are

etc., etc.....

Have fun,
Ed
