This reminds me.
There is a scam going where they hack your facebook account and contact your friends and claim that you (they) need to borrow money as you're stuck in a hotel somewhere.

Hello John O' Mahony,

Sincerely,
xxTomxx.

Ok...

Dear XXXX

I was most disappointed to hear about your unfortunate situation. Can you tell me what the seminar was about? In a complete coincidence I happen to have some work colleagues of mine out in Nigeria at a seminar too. If it turns out to be the same one they'd only be too happy to look after a friend of mine like you and give you whatever money you needed to get back here. Let me know what you want to do.

Lots of Love,

cson

So much for English being a world language when a country where English is supposedly the official language-that's Nigeria, by the way-cannot produce a single one of these letters in even half-decent English. Punctuation mark or question mark/exclamation mark ==> place it next to the last letter and follow it with a space, always. Such as this.

Maybe it is a seminar to do with this.
