Gullibility

So the other day I was being told by a mate about a work colleague who had fallen for one of these Advance Fee Scams. In honour of our more moronic friends, I have prepared the following missive:

DEAR GULLIBLE NUMPTYSIR

I AM PRINCE ADOWULIE OLOWOYA SMITH A MANAGING DIRECTOR OF THE POTS AND PANS DIVISION OF SOME DODGY SOUNDING BANK IN A COUNTRY YOU HAVE NEVER HERD OF. I AM PLANNING TO STEAL A ZILLION QUID FROM THE BANK.
