Spammers from the 8th dimention

Okay so I get his email spam and I just could not let it go without a reply. Not everyone will get the reference that struck me funny, but give it a read anyway :)

Attention,

I am barrister Jerry Donald, I work with Benin Embassy here in Benin Republic, A delivery agent by name John Parker came down last week from your country with consignment contained $5.5 Million Dollars. He submitted the package to our office on his arrival and later on his body was found dead in a ghastly auto crash in the city.

So we decided to send the package back to your country via diplomatic service as we couldn't find the beneficiary because there is no other way to locate you in respect of the package, the only information we have about you is your email ID which he wrote somewhere in the papers attached to the package. So we are emailing you in respect of this to know if you are the rightful owner of the consignment so that you can contact the assigned senior diplomat who arrive your country with the package a while ago.

Please if you are the owner kindly contact the diplomat by E-mail (XXX@XXX.jp) and reconfirm your full information such as your name your home address, your contact phone number and nearest airport to enable him deliver the package to you safely; the diplomat is stranded so try and get in contact with him immediately.

Best Regard
Jerry Donald.


Greetings Barrister Jerry Donald,
I hope this finds you in the best way of happiness. I am concerned as to John Parker as we have not heard from him in a long time. I must ask for sake of confidentiality that you do not discuss this incident with anyone, especially those from Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems in New Jersey. I have been expecting John Parker for some time but must confirm the package. Was it a cake box tied with string? I am unsure of the money in the box, but was there contained inside a copy of an American comic book “Buckaroo Banzai” dated of late? Or perhaps several masks made of plastic wrap, a record and a small toy car? Of these things I must know to validate your claim. I would exercise caution at this point as the monies you have said were in the box may belong to The World Crime League. Take great care of your personal safety.
Best Regard, BEW

Stay tuned and lets see how this plays out, shall we? :)
