If you will recall, I had been communicating for a few weeks with Mrs. Rebecca Paulson, the hospitalized lonely widow industrialist who reached out to me for help in claiming her huge cash deposit of five million dollars. The  next step was to contact the bank and get the ball rolling. So I did. Here’s Part Two of my two-part Nigerian Email Scam series. (It’s a short series.)grandma-meme-nigerian-prince

Subject: Why Silent !!!

Hello Mrs. Paulson!

I am so glad to hear from you! I have been worrying that I may never hear from you again! How are you feeling? Are you still in hospital or have you been able to move home to convalesce with your children and your nurse?

I am sorry that I haven’t written the bank sooner. I was busy having a few abortions. Pesky abortions! But that is all taken care of now and I have emailed the bank this very morning. I will wait for there reply.

Please let me know how you are doing.

Love,
Jill

Subject: A Friend of Mrs. Rebecca Paulson

Hello,

I am looking for Dr. Reginald Ihejiahi who is the Director of Fidelity Bank. I was told to contact him by Mrs. Rebecca Paulson in order to help obtain her money so that she may give alms. She is currently very ill and covered in tubes and wires and therefore cannot contact you herself. Though she can contact me… which is strange. But I think we may have a special bond, not unlike E.T. and Elliot. Have you ever seen the movie E.T.? It’s about a little boy who discovers an alien hiding in his backyard shed. He rolls a ball into this shed and E.T. the Extra Terrestrial rolls it back, and Elliot is all WTF LOL? And then he lures him into his house by leaving a trail of Reese’s Pieces candies (Do you know what those are? They are delicious.) to his bedroom. Then he and Eliot become best friends and his little sister Gertie teaches him to talk, but then the FBI discovers him and turns their house into a big plastic-wrapped science center, and E.T. and Elliot both are real sick, but Elliot gets better while E.T. gets worse, and Elliot is all, “E.T., stay with me, please!” and E.T. is all “Stay, Elliott, stay, stay, stay.” and they separate and E.T. dies, but not really. Oh my god it is SO sad. But really, really good. I don’t want to ruin the ending for you if you haven’t seen it  yet. Anyway, I’m not saying me and Rebecca Paulson are like THAT, but I do empathize with her and want to help her if possible.

So, what do I have to do to help her?

Also, I think that it’s really great that as a major financial firm you have a yahoo AND a gmail account. That really makes me feel like I can trust you. You’re not uppity, like those other banks what with their professional bank account names and email addresses. Maybe one day we can g-chat.

Thank you,
Jill

What up, Director Ihejiahi,

Just wanted to clarify that I’m not the next of kin of Mrs. Paulson. I’m just a complete stranger she randomly contacted via the internet and wants to give me control of all of her money. She wants me to give it to charity. I want you to know that I am planning on tricking her and keeping all of this money. I am going to spend it on superficial things only for myself, like expensive shoes, jewelry, bras, and jewel-encrusted shoes and bras. Don’t tell her, ok?

Is this still ok?

Love,
Jill

5 MILLION US DOLLARS 

Dear Fake Nigerian E-mail Scam Artists,

Can you clarify if you would like $705 is in USD or British Pounds or Nigerian Nairas?

Actually, nevermind. Because I’m not giving you anything you worthless pieces of shits. Dude, I sent you a photo of Old Dirty Bastard’s “Return to the 36 Chambers” album cover as my photo identification. Do you know who Old Dirty Bastard was? He was a mediocre but charismatic member of The Wu-Tang Clan! He went on to moderate success as a solo artist only to succumb to an unnecessarily tragic death in 2004! He is dead! That’s not really me in the driver’s license photo! It’s a dead rapper! Do you give so little a fuck that you can’t even address this? At the very least, the button-pushing diarrhea squirt of a fucktard who is in charge or responding to these emails could have realized that this isn’t going to go anywhere with this particular would-be victim and not respond at all. At the very least, you’re little endeavor could be more efficient. I HATE INEFFICIENCY. And you use too many exclamation points.

If Mrs. Rebecca Paulson ever found out that you guys are complete scam artists, it would break her weak little British heart. You better hope she never finds out.

I hope you all get major infectious Nigerian diseases and die slow deaths.

Fuck off forever,
Jill
