Contacted by the head of a foreign bank recently?
We've all gotten the emails telling us that some poor widow in some far off country would like you to invest her wealth as she lays on her deathbed, or that the head of an international bank has found your email and would like to share the billions he has hidden or your best friend took a secret vacation and was robbed and now needs your help. Here's your chance to have some fun.
RULES: You must respond to the actual email you receive, being as witty as i know a crackberryhead can be. Then post your response along with the original scam.
For alternative fun; feel free to send emails to other scammed accounts mentioned on this thread to really annoy the poor fools sitting at western union awaiting our funds. Be sure to share those responses with the rest of us!!
Here we go:

Hello
How are you doing today?Please i need your urgent help on something very important because am in a big mess right now and stranded.I came down to Scotland(UK) for a research conference and unfortunately for me i was mugged on my way back to the hotel i lodged and the robbers went away with all i had on me including my passport and some vital document i came down here with.Please i need you to loan me $3,200 so i can make arrangement for the hotel bills and leave this horrible situation immediately and be home.
Right now all phone lines in my room has been disconnected because of the hotel bills and have reported the case to the police down here but they are not working effectively to my case and the embassy said i should come for clearance document.The hotel management said western union will be the fastest and easiest way for me to receive money down here because i don't run any bank account in the UK.Our first priority is safety because i do not feel safe or secured.

Oh carol, this is terrible news.. I would help, but currently I am stranded in london.. Can you believe that robbers took my passport too! I was just going to email you and ask for $4200, but it appears that is not an option.. By the way, it is sad that the robbers also stole your ability to speak English properly.. How sad..
