sweatdrop I know this all too well. The ones I get want me to transfer them money from their swiss bank account and what-not. It gets really annoying and only seems to come when I join penpal websites.

Then I get mail from Koreans who are OBVIOUSLY using an online translator to communicate with me. I can't understand what the hell they're try'en to say. xd

It's seems like the only continent where mails are scams are from Africa.
I got one from Uganda, then later read they don't have really any computers there at all so how could he had emailed me?

Urgent Assistance

Dear Sir/Madam

After going through your profile I decided to contact you for
friendship and assistace and distribution of my inherentance
I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any Pains so I
decided to contact you through this medium. I got your Contact through
a
personal search via the internet. As you read this, I don't want you
to feel sorry for me, because, I Believe everyone will die someday.

My name is Sarah May I am a dying woman who have decided to donate What
I have to you/ church/charity Organizations. I was diagnosed with
esophageal Cancer for about 7 Years ago, I am married to Sir Gerald
Allport who worked with British Judicial Commission in Chelsea England
for
over a decade before he died on 5th of July in the year 1989. We were
married for fifteen years without a child and he has left me
everything he
worked for.

I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared
For anyone. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always
hostile to people and only focus on my self as that was the only thing
I
Cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more
to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world.
I
Believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I
would Live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that
I
know My time is near I have been touched by God to donate from what I
have
Inherited from my late husband for the good work of God, rather than
Allow my relatives to use my husband hard earned funds ungodly.

So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the
U.A.E, London and Ireland. Now that my health has deteriorated so
badly,
I cannot do this my self any more. I once asked members of my family
to Close one of my accounts and donate the money, which I have there
to
Charity organization in Bulgaria; they refused and kept the money to
Themselves.

Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended
With what I have left for them. The last of my money which is the huge
Cash deposit that I have with Financial Firm Abroad .I will want you
to
Help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity
organizations
And let them know that it is me Sarah May that is making this Generous
donation.

I am writing this from my laptop computer in my hospital bed where I
wait for my time to come. I pray that God uses you to support and
assist
Me with good heart Please pray that the good Lord forgive me my sins.
I
have asked God to Forgive me and I believe he has because He is a
merciful God. I will be Going in for an operation in less than few
days. I
decided to WILL/donate the money to you for the good work of the lord,
And also to help the motherless and less privilege and also for the
Assistance of the widows according to (JAMES 1:27).

I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit
This money and my husband relatives are not inclined to helping poor
Persons and I do not want my husband's hard earned money to be misused
Or
spent in the manner in which my late husband did not specify. At the
moment I cannot take any telephone calls right now due to the Fact
that
my relatives are around me and my health status. I wish you All the
best and May the good Lord bless you abundantly, and please use The
funds
well and always extend the good work to others.

NB: I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until
The task is accomplished as I don't want anything that will jeopardize
My last wish. And Also I will be contacting with you by email as I
don't Want my relation or anybody to know because they are always
around
me.

Regards,
sarah may Mrs.
Please contact me through the email address below

These are hilarious. I got one years ago, and to the best of my memory, it was some (supposedly) African prince asking for help.

Go to the link I posted and see the hilarious things the baiters get their lads to do. It's a really fun website if you want to bait them but here at the requirements though:

Set up an email account through g-mail or another service that won't reveal your IP address to the lad.

Set up an online phone number at www.k7.net

Go through your spam mail or contact the one of the email addresses on the websites, claiming that you've gotten their email and want them to explain more.

More details are on the website and for example games go here: www.419baiter.com
