If i reply to these sad people it's normally very abusive. Childish i know but it makes me grin to think they've got a mug about to give them all their details only to be told to foxtrot oscar.
If they persist i write the following.
Dear sir thankyou for your email. After much thought i have passed it on to my representatives who will be making contact with you shortly.
Please be aware that the next knock on your door maybe my one of my contacts and their assistants. You will know that they are my representatives as they normally will be wearing blue and shout alot.
Dont be alarmed if they are carrying guns or batons as this is to ensure your saftey. With so much money at stake they need to protect themselves from any nasty people that may want to steal my money from you.
Further more they will probably come very late at night or very early in the morning. This is so they do not attract attention to theselves and of course for your saftey.
So if you hear noises outside your dwelling late at night you can sleep easy knowing that it's only my representatives paying you a friendly visit
I look forward to hearing of the results of my representatives first contact with you.
Good luck
Mr P.C. Plodder.
I know they wont be crapping themselves but again it make me grin to think they've spent time reading it and then off to bolt their front doors. Just in case.

Y'all have got completely the wrong idea. I've replied and followed through with everyone one of these e-mails that land in my account. After just a few years I've accumulated nearly 17 mil from these suckers! Long live nigerians who can't cash their own cheques and dying rich people with no friends that randomly have my email!!
Two others for the collection!

Hi,
My name is Valentin. I have 25 years and I am student. I live with my mother in small city in Russia. My mother have problem with eyes and can not see.
I work very hard to buy things of primary necessities for us, but my salary is very small.
During last months prices for gas, oil and electricity became very high and we can not use it to heat our home anymore. We have winter and weather very cold here already. We do not know what to do and we very afraid.
The only way for us to heat our home is to use portable wood burning stove which give heat with burning wood. We have many wood in our region, therefore this stove will heat our home all winter with minimal charges. But we cannot buy this stove in our local market because my salary is very small.
Thanks to free internet in our library and library computer I finded several addreses and decided to ask for help. May be you have any old sleeping bag, I will be very grateful to you if you donate it for us and send its to our address. I will give it to my mother so she can be in warm
Please let me know if you can help and I will give you our address.
