Let me introduce myself, illustrious Sir or Madam
My father, an Algerian, has long fallen off the wagon,
But before he died, as his last breath did wheeze,
He told me a great secret and hoped that I’d be pleased.
He left behind a pile of sand that when I had it dug,
Revealed a hoard of plunder – mainly golden mugs.
Imagine my predicament, I knew not what to do
With taxes high and my bad back – and then I thought of you!
I’ll sell the gold and then I’ll quickly forward the proceeds,
To you my trusted new found friend – I know that we’ll succeed.
And for your trouble in this matter I offer this reward:
A million pounds, a timeshare and a jewel encrusted sword.
If you would kindly let me have, and please be very quick
[This is a genuine offer not a devil’s walking stick],
Full details of your bank accounts with necessary pins.
This is a very cunning plan where everybody wins.
I’m looking forward very much to getting your reply
So we can all divide and share a portion of this pie..
I’m sincerely yours for all the help I know you’re sure to offer.
Signed Sister Beatrice of the Church of the Empty Coffer.

I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today….
It’s a deal Frozen Surf Bobber!!!
thank goodness you didn’t offer your hand in marriage as well …
A foot would have been more inconvenient ………
BTW ….. why aren’t you at work?
shussh!!
OK, I won’t mention a thing about you BEING OFF WORK ……….
[I was in work... and got distracted, forgot to log off so I was hooked up to your post for hours.. just hoping Big bro was not watching....]
That’ll explain the men in suits and sunglasses that are parked opposite my house with ear pieces …….. they could on an outing I suppose. What’s the retirement age for a ’spook’?
I’ll swap your house in Portugal for my bank account details
Okey dokey …… send me your details first ……
Dimitri said the car was new
He had to move it quick
Just send him my bank details
A bargain by mouse-click
So I’m sorry to inform you
My balance now is nil
Due to an over zealous Ebay search
For an ‘09 plated Zil
… and I’d thought the Greeks a trustworthy race ….
[Good 'un Mr Gitwizard!]
…. I had to Google Zil BTW ….. never ‘eard of ‘em …… tsk to me
Now if only she had promised Ginger Nuts instead of gold or cash… Come to think of it, I have a tractor trailer load of ginger nuts sitting right here. It’s all yours in exchange for some bank info and a llama-back tour of the cliff tops.
That is sooooooo tempting Jamie ……..
Hey! I got that email just the other day and of course, sent off my bank account information immediately. Who wouldn’t? I always trust anyone whose name starts with ‘Sister’…
I’m a little disappointed finding out it was you… I’d thought for sure I’d get rich or something and now I’m worried all that will happen is I’ll get a ton of gingernuts (or something…) in the mail.
You’ve got the wrong end of the stick young Fraccy – I was a recipient as well. Mind you, I wouldn’t mind getting into the habit of wearing a habit and wimple …….
I always seem to have the wrong end of the stick…
Multiple ended sticks are quite tricky ……… or so I’m told ……..
