Hi
this one went on for five days, and my devious replies angered them a bit. It finally ended, I think, when I sent them my
"I've been pulling your leg all along" letter.
Kindest regards,
Joe |

Sir,
before sending you all my sensitive personal data, I should first need to have a few points addressed:
1) I don't want to get involved in anything illegal.
2) First you say that the 550k is mine as interest on my accounts, then you say that others are elligible to receive it. Which is it?
3) Will I be expected or required to advance any funds of my own to get this transaction under way, and, if so, how much?
PLEASE address ALL points in your PROMPT response, and attach my reply along with your response.
Sincerely,
Joe |

Sir
Two points:
1) My browser cannot resolve the text of your document, and I don't have a printer.
2) To be certain I understand you perfectly, you seem to be saying that I do not have to send ANY money, and that you'll simply deduct any costs and fees of any kind from the check before sending it.
Please confirm,
Sincerely,
Joe |

I think you should know that my bank is off shore where I have a confidential numbered account. They will give out NO personal information about me. Also, I do not have a fax machine.

You have to set up a new account with any bank close to you and forward that information to us, or else we might not be able to help you.

I don't understand, why does it have to be a NEW account? Why can't I simply send you my code number for my existing account in an off shore bank? |

We will need detail information
Bank name and address
Account number
note a code, i dont think we have to waste all these time in trying to effect transfer of your funds as we have a heavy work load, so see what you can do to set up one.

I am unwilling to risk publishing my sensitive personal and banking information on the net. There are too many unscrupulous people out there. I have a coded account, and if that's unacceptable to you, perhaps we should simply forget the whole matter. |

This is not a matter of stubborness, you fail to do things within our banks operational ethics |

I sure you've made a mass mailing on this suspicious offer to hundreds or even thousands of names, so you shouldn't have difficulty in finding several takers.
Tell me, why would an important finance and trust firm be using a free Yahoo email service? |
