RE: [PHP-WIN] very urgent assistance

Hahaha, it's always nice to get an amusing piece of spam that stands out above and beyond the rest. Although I can't decide which is my favourite part, the sworn confidence or the fact that a government civil servant uses an excite email address. I commend you on you skilled piece of work Adewale, I hope no one else falls for your scam. If I am mistaken, and this is a genuine email, might I suggest that your method is probably not the best approach. > -----Original Message----- > From: Adewale.Johnson [mailto:adewale_johnson@excite.com] > Sent: March 6, 2001 07:18 > To: php-windows@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP-WIN] very urgent assistance > > Dr.Adewale.Johnson. > 16 Kingsway Road > Ikoyi, Lagos > Nigeria.. > E-mail.adewale_johnson@excite.com > 6th, December , 2001. > > Sir, > > Request for Urgent Business Relationship. > > First I must solicit your confidence in this transaction.
