From the Department of Evidently I Was Born Yesterday....

Hello,

Just writing to let you know our trip to West Midlands,UK has been a mess. We were having a great time until last night when we got mugged and lost all our cash,credit card cell phone.It has been a scary experience, I was hit at the back of my neck with a pistol. Anyway,I’m still alive and that’s what’s important. I’m financially strapped right now and need your help.As we speak i need $1,500 to add up and sort my bills,don’t worry i will def refund it as soon as we get home,the fastest and safest means you can get money to me is via western union, Here’s my info:

Name:-Marta Evry
City:- West Midlands, CV4 9PL
United Kingdom
Amount : $1,500

As soon as it is done, kindly get back to me with the confirmation number. As soon as it is done, kindly get back to me with the confirmation number. Let me know if you are heading to the WU outlet now

I await your positive response.

Thanks and Regards
Marta………..

Imagine my surprise when my long-lost friend Marta checked in yesterday via email from who-knows-where in the West Midlands. Last I heard, she’d been somewhere in Nigeria trying to start her own business (something “Nigerian royalty”; I never did really understand the details….). It would appear that dear Marta has run into a bit of a pickle, as being stuck in the UK with no money has got to suck.

‘Course, I do find it rather interesting that Marta, who’s been incommunicado for such a long time now, manages to surface when she’s in need of some money. You’d think that she could at least have the decency to give me a call to say hello and explain her predicament. After all, if you’re going to ask someone for $1500, wouldn’t a phone call be the polite thing to do?

It’s strange, though; I seem to recall Marta having a much better grasp of English grammar, spelling, and sentence construction. Oh, well, perhaps that knock on the head has left her a bit addled.

Damn, where DID I leave that credit card of mine??
