Now I don't know about you, but most of my clients who can afford my time tend to have at least a bachelors from an good college and know how to spell, punctuate and write a vaguely decent email. Not all of them mind, but some of that wording was looking juuust a little "Nigerian". Not to risk looking a gift horse in the mouth, I forged on regardless, after all, you just never know.

See anything wrong with the part that's bold/italics/underlined?

Reminds of James Veitch videos:

Hare is another one from him:

When I had my shop the e-mails always lead with wanting to buy a large amount of B&K gear.
When good enough is not good enough.

I have saved the number to IRS.
Lots of fun calling them while driving to a jobsite, where otherwise I would have to talk to myself.

I received an e-mail this morning- seemed legit, except I son't know anyone by that name and there was no mention of how they found my e-mai address.

I think I'll ask and go from there- nothing about forwarding money, etc.

For anybody that wants to have some fun with this guy, here is his number. 3252619745
You can say I heard you were looking for a home theater installer and take it from there.
Happy Thanksgiving to all

Amir,

He's got this scenario nailed. Mario posted one of my other favorites of his. This is another although it gets started a bit slow:

Almost a year later, this email address is at it again with nearly the same inquiry to our company (we do IT support). As usual, I google all email addresses and was happy to have found this post. Thanks for warning us.

My best friend is an IRS agent.  He gets the scam IRS calls all the time.  He puts them on speakerphone and records the conversations while he's sitting at his desk on his phone with the IRS emblem emblazoned on the wall of his office.  It's the highlight of his day.
