Oh, I have a 'friend' aparently
-
"Dear Friend, I know this may come as surprise and sceptic to you. My Name is Mr. Zaki Ahmed, I am one of the officials in the Energy management board in Burkina Faso, West Africa. We had a contract with Denmark through the Burkina Faso Danish Cooperation, which was signed on the 4th of June, 2009 on the Electrification of the Urban centres, offices and rural dwellers. The project has been executed, you can check on the website. www.sonabel.bf But, the main issue of contacting you is to intimate you that during the award of this contract, a few of my colleagues and l had inflated the amount of this contract and the OVER- INVOICED is being safeguarded under our custody. However, we have decided to transfer this sum of money, thirty million Us dollars ($30million Us Dollars) out of this Country for disbursement. Hence, we seek for a reliable,honest and not greedy foreign partner whom we shall use his or her account for transferring the fund. And we agreed that the account owner shall benefit 30% of the total amount of money, 65% is for us here, and 5% will be used for miscellaneous expenses during the transfer. If you are capable to handle the transaction without hitches and flaws, then we have confidence in the business and a risk free transfer from our side. Please, make it TOP SECRET and avoid every channel of implicating us here thereby endanger our career. Therefore, if you will not be able to handle it,please hold on your peace for our sake we are public servants. I pray to God for his providence for a smooth transfer, so that our retiring soon or later will be a better and blissful retirement life, as such we are very cautious towards actualising this noble venture. It can also be a once in life opportunity for you, because l know that we are going to see face-face, preferably come down to Burkina Faso and verify on the claim on the said amount of money in the bank. Besides, to discuss business and investment in your country at large, and thereafter sit together to decide on the means of transferring. Do contact me immediately for more detail and clarifications. Please, time is no longer on our side and hope to read from you urgently. Zaki Ahmed." Never heard of the guy, but anyway, time to put together some of th foulest insults known to man in a response! :mad:

Dear Mr. Ahmed, I'm very disappointed that your company attempted to cheat the good people of Denmark, and let me say that we are neither amused nor forgiving. Please refer to the legal documents attached to this message, as we will be suing your firm for USD$200 million in punitive and statutory damages. Sincerely, [I can't think of a Danish name] P.S. The employees working in your satellite offices within our borders have been arrested, and will be tried for corporate fraud. Have a nice day.
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

Sven Svenson? Sven Jorgensen? In fact anthing in the form ' sen' wil probably suffice. Mind you, 'Thurig Muthafukkasen' might have scared him a bit more.

It always amazes me the esteem in which he is held today. Ok he could write, but to be considered the corner stone of the englidh language?
