Anyone have any witty replies to these emails? I asked one guy to hang himself on national television in order to prove his identity…

RE: CONFIDENTIAL ASSISTANCE

First I must solicit your confidence in this
transaction. I am a highly placed official working
with the ministry of state for finance and economic
planning here in Banjul, Gambia, west Africa my
department the treasury department does transactions
that run into several hundreds of millions of dollars
quaterly. Myself and two other colleagues in this
department are currently in need of a silent foreign
partner, whose influence and bank account we can use,
to transfer the sum of Eighteen Million Five Hundred
Thousand US Dollars (US$18,500,000.00)
This funds accrued legitimately but discretely to us
as commission from foreign contracts through our
private connections. The funds is presently waiting to
be remitted by our offshore funds managers to any
foreign beneficiary cleared for payment. However by
virtue of our positions as civil servants in our
country we cannot acquire this money directly, in our
names. We are not allowed by the civil service code of
conduct to own or operate bank account outside our
shores, on the other hand it is not safe for us to
keep the money here due to our unstable political
environment in this part of the world.

I have been delegated as a matter of trust by my
colleagues to look for an overseas silent partner in
whose account we would transfer the US$18,5M to, for
our mutual benefit, hence the reason for this email. I
am requesting that you assist us as our silent partner
and receive the funds in your account for us on trust.
We propose to share as follows, 20% to you as
commision and 80 for us. You will be free to take your
commission immediately the
funds hit your account. since our objective for now is
to invest the money, it would be appreciated if you
can also of assistance by advising on short and long
term investment possibilities your country. Should it
not be convenient for you to assist with investing, we
can end our cooperation after you hand over to our
percentage of the money.

The transaction although discrete is legitimate, the
money will be transferred to your account with all
necessary back-up documents showing legitimacy and
source origin of funds. The transfer will be effected
within seven working days to be completd. I plead with
you on one issue, whether you are interested or not
