SPAM-vangelism?

All:

 

I received the following email today.  I get these all the time and have always been curious what the response would be if I was to reply with an agenda of my own.

 

Below you'll see the email I received and the response I sent.  What are your thoughts on either or both?

(The Proposal)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello,

I humbly crave your indulgence in sending you this mail, if the contents do not meet with your personal and business ethics, I apologize in advance. This is by virtue of its nature as being utterly "CONFIDENTIAL". Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day.

I have decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction, as I have been reliably informed of your discreteness and ability in transaction of this nature. Let me start first by introducing myself properly to you.

I am Mr. Xavier Reid, of Dept of Bill and Exchange with Barclays Bank in the United Kingdom. I need your consent to handle this transaction because it entails a large amount of funds (6.4 Million GBP) deposited by a deceased customer in our bank who died long time ago but has an open beneficiary mandate on his file though, there has not been anyone from his family to make claim of this funds.

THE PROPOSITION:

I wish to know if we can work together. I would like you to stand as next of kin to my deceased client, who was among the people that lost their life in Kenya air crash in 2003, with the wife, children and entire generation.

[URL Was Removed for Security Purposes]

He made some deposits to my bank, and died without any registered next of kin and as such the funds now have an open beneficiary mandate. Click on the link and see the details because this link gives a very comprehensive picture of what I'm saying. If you are interested do let me know so that I can give you comprehensive details on what we are to do.

I urgently hope to get your response.

Best regards,
Mr. Xavier reid

Sir:

 

I will pray that you find a legal and ethical way to make money instead of trying to scam innocent people of their money.

 

I would like to direct you to a website where you may be able to find help for the much "bigger" problem you face, sin against a Holy and Righteous God.

Remember, God is ALWAYS watching you and someday you will have to answer to Him for the choices you've made on this earth.  With that said, I will be praying for you sir, and hope that you give my email some serious thought!

 

 

Have a blessed day,

 

Jason
