Dailies Contact Lenses - I have received a wonderful email?

I have received a wonderful email?

I was woken up early this morning at midday by our damned window cleaner sloshing his sponge against my window. After bounding across to the window and opening the large 'outward' opening window to it's full extent and depositing the window cleaner with a satisfying thud on the gravel below, I decided to check my emails. Upon signing on, I realised that I had received a rather enticing email from a charming Nigerian gentleman. The email stated that this fine man was Nigerian nobility (a lot like myself, only I am, of course, British) but he had found himself in a spot of bother and his damned government would not allow him full access to his funds! All that was required from me, was a small, insignificant sum of money in order for administration to be done, and my bank details. Of course I have provided these details to him already but my question is this: My wife was the person who usually dealt with my daily chores, post being one of them, and I am quite perplexed as how to get the letter from Britain to Nigeria. You assistance would be greatly appreciated.

You must be kidding! This is obviously a scam!
Tut tut.. You forgot to sign off with: Tally Ho! Not the sign of a fine gentleman to not sign off with this.. I am very disappointed.
Wow those Nigerian Nobles really are generous im very happy for you. I suggest you send the letter in a solid gold envelope with a diamond stamp.
send me some info and i'll kindly forward it to the 50 or so that i have been pissing off for the last 4 months yeah they are pissed
Very funny! Brightened up my day, as did reading your profile :) Alas, it's a scam and I suggest that you do not post that letter.
Simple really old chap If like me you have a PA get her out from under the desk and get her to deal with it.. While your at it could you forward me this chaps details as i'm feeling particularly generous today Happy St Georges day
Let your wife post the letter. She will be thrilled to know how well you are handling the house hold finances. But you better hurry. His cousin sent me a similar letter and I think they both are after the same money. I bet my letter gets to Nigeria before yours.
lol first of all, well done for sending the money. You hear too many stories of these terrible things happening to people from nigeria and their families and all too often we straight away class it as 'junk mail'. I'd rather trust someone in danger than an english who doesnt even care. Perhaps send him your wifes bank details too? let me know how i works out
What a wonderful start to the day. Never mind the birds' 'Dawn Chorus', there is nothing quite so satisfying as the cry of the flying window cleaner and the sound of his landing. However, old fruit, a word about that letter. I think I know the Nigerian fellow, or at least know about him. The word is that he has pots of money and is now after some of yours. In a nutshell, he's a bit of a bounder and a disgrace to his old school, Harrow I believe (If it had been Eton, we would have to send some chaps out there to sort him out). But I digress. DO NOT send the letter. If you have sent it, phone your bank, cancel the cheque and ask them to revise your account number. You must also improve your home security, because he will arrange a visit from some of his large associates. Keep your eyes open for dead chickens on your doorstep, magic inscriptions on your walls or voodoo threats in the post. You can of course protect yourself from all of the aforementioned dangers by having your house and surrounds sprayed with a specially formulated and totally organic deterrent called 'NigerBan'. To you and I this smells as fresh as spring water, but to Nigerians and those on Nigerian business it is totally repellant. It is not cheap, but what price do you put on peace of mind. I will e.mail you separately with the details of the product and the address to send your cheque and bank details. This must be your lucky day, for your question to have caught my attention and for you to be able to benefit from my unique experience. If your sun is still shining, why not pour a generous G & T, go out into your garden and relax.
I'm sure anything you can do to help would be greatly appreciated, old bean.
My dear Terry, Terribly good to hear from you again. How are you keeping old fellow? We must have a drink one day soon - how about my club this weekend? You are in town, I hope. Now about this money - it's terribly simple. All you have to do is stuff an envelope with some old fivers - the more the merrier, don't you know! - and mail it off to this chappie in Nigeria. If he's some Lord, or whatever, the old PO won't have any probs finding him, and bingo! Robert's your mother's brother, as they say! You do know how to send a letter don't you? Just write the name on the front, and where it's going, and pop it through the slot at the top of those quaint red boxes you see all over the place. You'll make the fellow terrribly happy, and I'm quite sure he'll never forget you. You may even find that a lot of his friends strike up a friendship too. The Nigerians are a deuced friendly lot, don't you know? Anyway, Terry, good to have a chat. Give your lovely wife a big kiss from me. Tootle pip! Bertie.
Providence must be shining on we aristocrats my dear. Why only this morning I also received an email informing me I had won a substantial sum of money which I would receive as soon as I forwarded my bank details. Most exciting. And my husband, who is an RBS director was awarded his 3 million pound bonus yesterday. He has worked so hard this year and deserves every penny. Toodle pip.
its a scam they send that to lots of people trying to steal your money and shi# you worked hard for
I say old chap, whatever you do you MUST return your details by return of post. Otherwise you shall miss out on a glorious bounty. Why just two weeks ago I received similar correspondence from a Nigerian gentleman as well - a man of manners and breeding, just like my good self. Anyway, I hate to see a fellow nobleman in a spot of bother so I sent him my bank details faster than a speeding bullet. I even offered to wire him a substantial amount of money as well, just to tide him over until that ghastly corrupt government came to their senses. He told me I shall be rewarded double fold as one good turn deserves another. Do yourself a favour man and get yourself some chap who can work his way around this emailing business. I'm sure there's a late email collection this evening so he'll definitely receive your correspondence by return of post dear boy.
My, That's simply delightful! I do believe that you should follow the gentleman's code and assist this Nigerian fellow. He is, after all, a fellow member of the nobility! Of course, you can also assist me in my financial predicament. Blast this so called "credit crunch!"
I say old chap I think you can kiss all your money away. In one fell swoop you have joined the ranks of the poor. Sorry, should have left all the finances to the wife. On the other hand your window cleaner will not be able to sue you for your blunder with the window, so some good luck after all, every cloud has a silver lining.
Oh dear! I almost believe that you DO belong to aristocracy! Who else would be stupid enough to be responsive to such a mail! Every idiot and I knows about these criminal so-called Nigerian Connections! Oh sure, go ahead and give them money, or even better, give them all your account data. You will soon have the Attorney General on your doorsteps and find yourself in prison quicker than you can say hello to him. btw: nothing against aristocrats. I'm one myself :-)
