hi mr samuel derbyshire
i look forword in anticipation to meet your reputable collection agent based
here in the uk
will your reputable collection agent be bringinging along cash with him
???
as my advert clearly states
that it is "cash on collection"
ive also put a price which you dont seem to like , im only asking for £100
and you seem bent on paying more for it.
however i did think it was to cheap when i put it on the site .
do you know how much these things cost new ???
neither me or my wife have a western union bank account . so a cheque from
them wont be any good
please be careful about your reputable collection agent in uk . like i said
in an earlier mail
all the arcades in renfrewshire are closed at this time of year
you dont want him to take your money and runn off with it, now do you ?
anyway , my wife got our sheets back from the neighbour and her wind has
calmed down
she says "HI"
she thinks your a very nice man and says that i make friends too easily
your immediate anticipation would be appreciated in this matter , as another
fella has made an enquiry after it
but ive told him that you want it and your going to get it
are you a christian fella samuel , i always feel better when i deal with
a christian fella
may your god rain peese on you from above

dear mr samuel derbyshire
thank you for your very generous offer of £3000 for a £100 item i have for
sale
i have not removed the item from sale yet ,and you still want to give me
£50 for removeing it
would you like me to palletise the transformer so your reputable collection
agent here in the uk can collect it on a pallet
i would like to build the pallet myself from a very expensive hardwood ,
at least you will be getting your moneys worth
i can build you a pallet to stand the transformer on, out of , lets say ebony
, for a mere £2850
that way then i get to keep the western union transfer of £3000 and we all
go away happy
you get your 10 kva transformer 240v to 110v , 4x16amp socket outlets
and i get your money which you seem to be throwing at me
the other fella who is after the tranformer is pushing for an answer if you
still want it .
and i told him your really gonna get it .
so lets do a cyber shake on it and close the deal
im spitting into the palm of my hand as i touch the mouse {this is my end
of the cyber shake }
so its up to you . do we have a deal or not ?
please carry out the action of cyber shake so i am convinced of your good
intentions
i still dont have a western union bank account , is this a problem ??
waiting to read your writtings

i really hate bargeing past those street traders and counting out £2850 over
a pile of fresh melons and coconuts . dont you ? he says he offers a money
laundry servise as well . but the exchange rate is hopeless .
anyway i managed to make a deposit of £2850 and it is waiting to deposit
in your account
i explained to the man that this is your change for the cheque you ar8e send
to me
but i cant send money without your bank account number and phone number and
mobile number and address
i can imagine you have a same problem
heres my mobile number so you ring tommorow
0790xxx3693

hi mr scamuel derbyshire
let me get this proper ,you want to send me cheque for £3000
now after all the trouble ive been through to get a western union bank account , you tell me i dont need a western union bank account . make up your mind , or ill be thinking that your pulling my leg and dont have £3000 to give to me.
can you tell me who the reputable collection agent is so i can organize for a collection {when cheque clears}
as the transformer is making dents in the carpet in the front room , we had to use it as a coffee table as i have nowhere else to put it
im not getting that "honesty feeling concern" maybe another cyber hand shake will convince me of your good intentions
ive sent you a number to ring so you can talk to it
can you send the cheque to the reputable collection agent , and let him clear it ??? ive put by some more money for you
as your a good business man and i want this to be the start of a good business relationship
you seem to be in a rush to get both my mobile numbers , but i only have one number
oh nearly forgot my address to send a cheque to
20 park drive

Very good work, Mel.

You could claim that his collection agent came round and broke it.

I presume you've seen the 419 site?
 
It's ace if you haven't - I'll post a link tomorrow. Similar stringing along stories.
 
Nice work mel - had me in stiches reading it, liked the bits about the 'wind' problem!

Keep us posted with details of his reputable company collections agent :)
 
Hi Mel, Perhaps you'd like to post Sam's email address as I am sure that there are lots of us who have things we be interested in selling this gent! He get rather a surprise if his email box suddenly started filling up with offers from all over the world!

Nice one, Steve
 
That kind of stuff - but there was one guy who was a mile funnier than the (few) others I've read, but I can't find his site now.
