This was the winner of John Derbyshire's contest on NRO to come up with the ultimate Spam e-mail. Hope ya like it:
Innocent Saleh Jombo, Plot 22, Dry Well of Kings Ave, Bgbuuti Blanco, Lagos. Dear Friend, My uncle, Dr Abraham Saleh Jombo, is the Chief Urologist for the Peoples National Congress. He has developed an all-natural formula for Manhood enhancement guaranteed to put a Nigerian Nightmare in your dungarees. Unfortunately, the current civilian government is attempting to seize the millions of dollars my uncle is making with his Big Jungle John Thomas formula. This is why I am contacting you in the hopes that you might establish an account for my uncle’s money so the government may not confiscate said funds. There is only required a small transfer fee that you could readily acquire by taking advantage of today’s LOW! LOW! INTEREST RATES to refinance your home. In most cases no appraisal is necessary just your good credit. Of course my uncle who is bringing joy to millions with his Big Jungle JT would pay you a caretakers fee of up to 50% of all profits. This will come in handy for starting your home-based business providing HIGH QUALITY INKJET CARTRIDGES & LASER TONER AT DISCOUNT PRICES! Everything will be over within 7 working days. For reasons best known to me, as it also affect my office, I have decided to reach you through the internet until I get your interest indicated. I will give you a confidential phone and fax numbers for easy communication on the directives.

You just know that a least a few people are going to take the bait.

No breast enlargement...pff, I get at least 1 of those a day, and (last time I checked) I'm man. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Too bad something as expertly crafted as this would instantly find my trash bin.

This is a bit off topic, but related. If anyone is getting really hacked off with spam, try a program called mailwasher. It lets you view e-mails before you download them and then bounce junk back to the source. The source thinks your e-mail doesnt work and removes you from their mailing list (at least thats the theory). You can download it -
