Default Haven't seen one of these in a while

Got this today, always good for a laugh I guess

Attn: Dear,
First I must solicit your confidence in this transaction, this is by virtue of it's nature as being utterly Confidential and top secret.
Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that this is real and genuine.
My name is Mr.Willey Limann. I am the account manager of the international commercial bank Ghana, first light branch. I am a Ghanaian married with two kids.
I am writing to solicit your assistance in the transfer of us$4,500.000.00.
This fund is the excess of what my branch in which I am the manager made as profit during the last year. I have already submitted an approved end of the year report for the year 2007 to my head office here in Accra and they will never know of this excess.
I have since then, placed this amount of us$4,500.000.00 on a suspense account without a beneficiary.
As an officer of the bank, I cannot be directly connected to this money thus I am impelled to request for your assistance to receive this money into your bank account.
I intend to part 30% of this fund to you while 70% shall be for me. I do need to stress that there are practically no risk involved in this. It's going to be a bank-to-bank transfer. All I need from you is to stand as the original depositor of this fund.
If you accept this offer, I will appreciate your timely response.
Regards,
Mr.Willey Limann


Here was my response back to him minus my signature information

Dude, when are you losers going to get a life and stop trying to scam people. You are hilarious, does anyone really fall for this crap? Does your country even have that much money altogether? LOL seriously go get a real job and shut the freak up!!! I'm sending this to Dateline, so get ready for a knock on your door scumbag. See that camera, and that camera? Boo Yaa.

And yes I know that you are not supposed to respond to freaks like this, but in some small way it made me feel better imagining that whoever was reading what I sent and all of the sudden his computer explodes in his face at that moment and goes blind and his sac is burned off from the fire.

Here's what some guy did on my other forum that I'm on. Great stuff. You'll have to jump through it for the meaty details. I have mine set on 100 posts per page, and it's at 5 pages. I don't know how many they have standard.
