I have arrived!

Oh yes. I am the man. I have heard so much about this infamous spam/scam, to now finally be receiving it...surely this marks the beginning of great things for me.

DEAR SIR,

COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON. [what season? summer?] GRACE AND PEACE AND LOVE
FROM THIS PART OF THE ATLANTIC TO YOU. I HOPE MY
LETTER DOES NOT CAUSE YOU TOO MUCH EMBARRASSMENT AS I
WRITE TO YOU IN GOOD FAITH BASED ON THE CONTACT
ADDRESS GIVEN TO ME BY A FRIEND WHO WORKS AT THE
NIGERIAN EMBASSY IN YOUR COUNTRY... [geez, my contacts at the Nigerian Embassy are too numerous to recount here, but heads will roll I promise you that]....

On another site I found an extended interchange between the originators of the spam and one recipient. Hilarious stuff, but I never bookmarked it. Maybe someone else out there has seen it before and can redirect everyone.

I feel so special, like I'm a part of history. When I'm old, I'll sit on the porch eating baby cut (but not "baby") carrots and regale all with a telling of my run-in with the Nigerian Government Swindle Spam, and how it changed my life...
