I love how a customs officer signs off on an official letter with "God bless".

Hande hoche!

You're lucky, I just get spam from environmental action California.

Email sent from a gmail account, too. Both good signs.
Sounds like a win win for both parties.

He is obviously a god fearing man, which makes it all the more legit.

Is it just a mystery box or is it a locked safe?

"frankraphael@gmail.com" must have been taken.
Mr. Frank Raphael got creative though.
I'd say Mr. Frank Raphael is a delivery agent you could really rely on.
Don't keep them waiting op. Speed seems to be of the essence.

I actually do have a locked safe that I can't open but boards won't be ready for another thread like that for at least 10 years.

"Irishman loses out on a fortune willed to him by his late aunt who emigrated to the US in the 50s. US customs did their best to contact him but there was no response"

I really do have an aunt that I have never met that went to america years ago.

Those scam baiter sites are brilliant for the laugh. Actually saw a scammer once get scammed, his upset was hilarious.

Wait a second, those are fake hands!

I got a similar one from Sergeant Chad years ago. He had served in the US military in Iraq and he had stashed away hundreds of barrels of oil in a secret hiding place.
He just needed funds to get his plan in place about how to shift them.

I suppose with me being a student living in Dublin at the time and not having a pot to p!ss in, I was the obvious choice for funding his venture.

Tempted? Yes, who wouldnt be if you had the funds. But I was struggling to afford Weetabix so I reluctantly declined.

Probably my second biggest regret now, looking back.

The biggest being when I was a teenager in German class and our middle aged fairly unattractive German teacher Maureen ran her fingernails suggestively across my hand whilst I sat in the front row and asked if anyone in her class needed grinds.

Here I am years later, having to buy my own oil, can't speak a word of German and never made love to a teacher.

You dismiss life's opportunities at your own peril.

There is only one way to reply to these.

Dear Mr. XXXXX

Thank you very much for you interesting email, it was kind of you to contact me with your proposition.

Unfortunately I am not in a position to help you at this point in time as my company are conducting a very important 4 year long research project on Advanced Handwriting Recognition and Graphology systems.

Our work is extremely intensive and vitally important for our clients. They have committed over eight million dollars to our project and we are nearing the final stages. After nearly 4 years of research and development we are now only three months away from the conclusion and I am afraid I can allow nothing to interfere with the project until its completion.

We are always looking for paid volunteers to help with our project. If you are aware of anyone who would like to earn money by helping with our project by providing samples of their own handwriting to us then please do read the submission information below. We pay US $100.00 per page of handwriting samples.

Sincerely,

Arthur Dent BSC. HHGTTG. PhD.
Director
Singlesideband Systems
