I think I'll go for a walk!

I was cleaning out my mail and found this, quoted in part:

MY NAME IS REV.DR.STEVE LONG,DIRECTOR OF FORIEGN REMITTANCE DEPARTMENT
OF THIS BANK,WITH OUR CORRESPONDENT BANK IN HOUSTON TEXAS USA.THIS IS TO
INFORM YOU THAT RECENTLY ONE MRS.JANET WHITE CAME TO MY OFFICE TO LET US KNOW
THAT YOU ARE DEAD,AND BEFORE YOU DIED,YOU INSTRUCTED/ASSIGNED HER TO CLAIM
YOUR FUNDS IN THE TUNE OF $2.5 MILLION THAT WAS LONG ABANDONED IN YOUR
NAME.SO HERE COMES THE BIG QUESTION:

(1)DID YOU ASIGN/INSTRUCT (MRS.JANET WHITE) TO CLAIM YOUR FUNDS?

(2)ARE YOU THROUGHLY DEAD?

Best Nigerian scam ever.

But are you Really most sincerely dead?

DAMN you!!!

Mmf. I wanted to say that... :P

I've had that variant before. It seems a particularly difficult one to claim with a straight face.

Things that amused me today: Thrall, Warchief of the Horde, is straight-facedly described in the WoW wiki as "lord of the red land of [wherever]." ;)

You, of course, sent back word that, yes, you did assign Janet White to be your agent, and, of course, you are quite dead.

Yay flaky typing.

Anyway: belatedly, "Durotar".

Which, despite being rust-coloured all over, has no iron.
