Hola. I am job. My llamo es Senior Kowasaki.
I am getting a little fed up by some of these idiots with e-mail accounts. This is the second of those stupid "I need to transfer money into your account" e-mails I have received in the last month. It's a waste of my space, and it insults my intelligence. It's not the fact of trying that insults me, it's how stupid the people are when they are thinking out the letter.

Greetings! May I take the liberty to introduce myself as; Mr. Chen Huang , Bank Manager of a reputable bank in Taipei, Taiwan and I have an urgent and very confidential proposal for your review and consideration. Just before the last financial quarter of banking operations, I was able to discover a certain Fixed Deposit for twelve calendar months made by a certain foreign individual, valued at a sum that is quite impressive. I made several frantic efforts and investigations and discovered that the depositor died in an automobile accident and he died without appointing a successor, all attempts to trace any of his relatives was fruitless as he did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his banking mandates, including official documents and deposit paperwork in my bank. This sum and the interest has being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year at the rate of 19% per annum which comes to a colossal sum. The need for foreign assistance becomes crucial as a next of kin to the depositor is earnestly being searched for, as I cannot acquire the funds in my name. I have carefully developed a foolproof, legal and totally risk free transaction through which the money will be transferred to your nominated bank account within a very short time after due documentation and authentication process if you are willing to participate. The strategy is to use my position and influence as the Branch Manager to present you as a next of Kin and beneficiary of the money as I shall arrange all documentation to support this claim and I shall grant approval for the transfer of the funds into your nominated Bank account. The required assistance is perfected to be 100% risk free and I want to assure you that I have concluded all local modalities for the successful completion of this transaction, and I am sure the funds can arrive your nominated Bank account within 7 - 10 working days following our agreement to carry out this transaction, the money will be paid to you by any means of your choice for us to share at a ration we shall both agree on. Please reply immediately via the private email address above and endeavor to give me a private telephone/fax number (stating country and city codes) through which I can communicate with you in confidence as the need for secrecy is highly important to this transaction. I expect your urgent response; no matter your decisions to enable me conclude on what next to do. Please pardon my discretion; I hope to be more detailed as we progress. With regards, Chen Huang. Taipei, Taiwan.
Problems with this letter:
1. Ok...what is the name of his bank? Why couldn't he tell me?
2. If he cannot get the funds in his name, how would I be able to? If he did it on the sly, how is it risk free?
3. Why couldn't you give me YOUR phone number? YOUR bank account number? (Funny situation, last letter I got, they asked for a phone number, I gave them the Orlnd. Police Dept number.)
4. I would think that a Bank Manager that has this much clarity with english (using words like "modalities") would know how not to construct a run on sentence. Over and over again.
5. Why is the e-mail address out of India? I thought you were in Taiwan. (sify.com is an India svc provider).
Ok..enough of my ranting and raving, it seems no matter what I do, someone, somewhere is going to try and make a free dollar off of the mass populace. I feel sorry for the bastard whom might have fallen for this. And at least he knows how to spell check.
