"High-paying job" and "$860 per month" don't quite go together.

Dear Mr. Duke,

Thank you for your kind message. Yes, I've been scammed and yes, I would love to have my reparations from the United Nations.

Please contact my barrister with your contact information, as he will have to travel to your location to pick up the cheque. (I've been scammed so many times, I know better than to do business via e-mail.)

My barrister is:

James B. Comey, Esq.
935 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20535-0001

Send him your address right now so he can send his assistants to you.

Yours truly,
Harlan Sanders

promising me that they are holding lots of money for me from a deceased relative I never knew. The only problem is that I work for The World Bank Group. One time I decided to play along and wrote back asking if they could give me the name of the IBRD's manager in Nigeria so that I could contact him directly since I worked at IFC and make arrangements for the money to be deposited in my IBRD account. Oddly enough I never got a response back.
