Strangely, random spam doesn't bother me much any more. What bothers me are companies, legitimate ones, that place me on multiple lists when i register some software and explicitly state that i don't want to be emailed about offers or updates.

I love how those Nigerian scam letters try to affect a real formal tone and vocabulary (to convince you that they are genuine) and then slip up with basic grammatical mistakes like "the funds deposited in there custody."

Just do this:

Dear Sir,

God bless you and how are you today?

Your letter has come to the right place. It has been passed onto me by my secretary who told me that she received it by mistake, but I think God has intervened here. My name is Father Bateyoo Reelgud of the Church of Fish and Bread, and we have nearly 300 churches in our ministry. I think I may be able to help you.

Your cause is a Godly one and it is the policy of my church that we help our fellow man forward the word of God and help the less fortunate people. You see, my church regularly makes charitable donations to worthy causes, and after speaking with my committee members, we are of the opinion that your cause seems very worthy and if you will allow us we would like to make a donation to your cause if you will agree to help us forward the word of God.

If you are willing to use the donation for the good of God and to help your less fortunate fellow citizens then I am sure we can quickly arrange a donation to be made to you.

Your case seems very worthwhile, and whilst we cannot donate large amounts ( because we have already made many successful donations this year ) I think that the church would be able to send you the small sum of US $352,330 (three hundred and fifty two thousand, three hundred and thirty dollars). We are usually able to donate larger amounts but at the moment are funds are quite limited as we are at the end of our financial year. This money would be sent to you in a manner of your choosing, and hopefully it would enable you to forward the word of God much more easily.

Of course, we do not send out payments without going through the proper procedures, so if you would like to claim the cash, these are the steps you will need to take:

1. The Church of Fish and Bread will send you a agreement form, which you will have to complete and sign.

2. On receipt of the form, we will require a photograph of you, or a trusted representative as proof of identity. You will have to get a NEW photograph taken, holding two symbol of ours. The two symbols we need you to hold are a loaf of BREAD and a FISH (the name of our church). This proves that the person in the photograph is genuine. Passport or other photographs will NOT be accepted.

If you agree to the two conditions above, we will attach the agreement form for you to complete, and then after that we will explain to you what type of photograph we need from you. Please do not send a photograph until we have explained how we want the photograph to be taken. On receipt of a SATISFACTORY photograph, we will immediately forward the $352,330.00 to you in a manner of your choice.

Please let me know ASAP if you are interested in my offer Mr. Tope and I will forward you the agreement for your signature ASAP.

May God bless you and your family,

Father Bateyoo Reelgud
The Church of Fish and Bread
