FROM MRS FATU BAMBA.
RUE/45 AVE/23
ABIDJAN
COTE D'VOIRE
WEST AFRICA.
Attn dearest in the lord,

My greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ.I am Mrs.Fatu Bamba from South Africa.
I am married to Archdeacon.Daniel Bamba whom untill
his death served as an archdeacon in the St.JOHN's
archdeaconry in Ivory Coast for nine years before he
died in the year 2002. We were married for eleven
years without a child. He died after a brief illness
that lasted for only four days. Before his death we
were both born again Christian. Since his death I
decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my
matrimonial home which the Bible is against.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of
$3.5.Million under suspense account in one of the
famouse banks here in Abidjan capital of Cote d'Ivoire
for safe keeping.Presently,my Doctor confirmed to me
that I have serious sickness which is cancer
problem.The one that disturbs me most is my stroke
sickness.etc etc etc etc......

Dear Mrs Fatu,
Your God is dead. And that, for you, is good news. If he was alive and
could see what you're doing you'd be in lots of trouble.
Now go and mend the error of your ways and stop trying to fool stupid
people into giving you all of their money.
Silly Mrs Fatu

Dear one,
why are u sand like this so i made mistake by
contacting u, for ur warld you we go on ponish i we
send the God i'worship to fight you in all your live,
My ansestors has arested the writer.
thanks
MRS FATU.

Dear Mrs Fatu Bamba,
You don't worship a God, you nasty little woman, you pretend. If you did
believe in God you might have noticed a little bit in the bible marked,
"Thou Shalt Not Steal". I am tired of your endless emails offering me
millions of dollars when all you want to do is rob me.
You are an evil woman, Mrs Fatu Bamba. I may not believe in God, but at
least I don't propogate His name in an effort to steal money from
strangers.
Now, you can send all of your ancestors to arrest me if you like. If
they're all dirty little thieves like you I'm sure I'll survive.
Now do stop being so silly and go and do something worthwhile with your
life.
Iain

Oh Mrs Fatu Bamba,

Why are you being so nasty? I thought you were a good Christian woman, clearly I was mistaken.

Now listen you, pack it in and behave yourself. You're behaving like a naughty child. I do wonder which bit of the bible you've actually read.

Tell your God to get his act together. He isn't teaching me very much and I suspect he's teaching you even less.

Ssssssshh!

6. It's a lot work to counterscam these guys.

There are websites devoted to this. Nigerian scam-baiting has somewhat of a cult following.

7. Turning them in won't do much

My best friend works for the FBI and tells me that his office gets at least 40 of those tips a day (most without the IP address, believe it or not).

Have some fun with the assholes.

8. Hell, I got one from Charles Taylor's wife...
