The Saga Continues
Dec. 13th, 2005 03:21 pmI've been conversing a bit more with the scammer. His greatest achievement to date is that has finally managed to get my name right, and has now given me this letter to forward to the bank. I wouldn't normally allow such appalling abuse of the language on my journal, but I think this is a special case.
Dear Sir,

I, Leonard Bucket on behalf of the entire members of the David Bucket J.family wish to use this medium to inform you that we wish that the USD6, million deposit (state this deposit account information, that’s the info in the documents which I have (WACAFH/TRUX/185/92) in your possession belonging to our deceased relative, Mr. David Bucket J. be transferred immediately into my possession. (State any valid account information).

And I've been requested to forward the above gibberish to "Standard_trust_bank01@yahoo.com". Somehow I don't think his heart is really in this.
