You know, if you string this along for about 20 letters or so, you could make a book out of it. This is hilarious! Yeah, I'm thinking of stepping up the outrageousness of my e-mails with each reply to see how much this scam artist will take before he catches on. It will be interesting to see his response to my Hooters Restaurant proposal.
Do you remember the one with the guy from Houston who strung one of these guys along as you are doing? He actually had an acquaintance who was working in Nigeria go to a public park with a video camera. They had talked the "mark" into going to the park, ostensibly to meet in person, and walking around flapping his arms like a chicken (so that he could be recognized). The guy's friend got it on video and he put it on the website!
Wish I could remember the url!
