    Yo Murt, my man,

    I am exsirah and delirah with the news of my win. I am beside myself with happiness, but as me Mammy always said, "Two heads is better than the wan".

    Well Murt as you know your buddy Charlie (is he really a proper Charlie?) asked me to write to you to arrange delivery of my winning cheque, and this is where we encounter our first problem.

    Ireland is a very poor country and all the people, apart from the corrupt politicians and their friends are broke. I am broke, although I'm told I own a few banks, and I have just had a letter from the Revenue sheriff demanding that I hand over the keys to my 365-room holiday cottage on Bear Island to pay my motor-tax and TV licence. The cheek of him. When my pal the late John Wayne had the job he treated people with more dignity.

    If I lodge a cheque that large to my account, they're going to think I want to buy the country. I own enough of the kip already, I don't wany any more of it, do you get my drift? Is there any chance you could pay me in cash? I would of course be willing to pay you a commission on the transaction, say 10% or 85,000.00 Great British Pound in readies.

    Have we a deal so Murt?

    Once I get the money, I'll write back. I have inside information of a huge property deal that's about to go down and I'd like to let you in on the ground floor (haha, small joke there but sure aren't we all Irish in anyways, great craic altogether, haha again). My friend, Patrick ChristmasPresent Multiweewee, is a junior official in his cousins government department, the Ministry of Very Large Buildings and Toilet-seat Covers in Lagos which I think is in Nigeria somewhere or maybe Africa. They have a project involving many Very Large Buildings and many, many Toilet-seat Covers coming up and we are all destined to become multi-billionaires. I'll keep you posted by the email from me new iPaddy (made in China from recycled rice I believe).

    Thanks agus slán Homer O'Simpson, Springfield, The Wintergardens, Tallaght, Co Donegal.

    Ah sure good man Murt, 'tis yourself is in it, begorrah and bejapers,

    It's always great to hear from you and thank you for your latest very welcome missive.

    We seem to having some kind of Communication Breakdown as Jimmy Page used to say. It must be my thick Irish brogue that has you confused, that and me writing to you from the bottom of a porther barrel. Ha ha ha that's just to show you we specialise in comedy over here in Ireland the way ye specialise in financial services and email over where you are, ye auld divil ye.

    Just to restate the key message from my last letter Murt, "I'm broke". In English this means "I'm broke" agus as Gaeilge "Tá mé broke" and in African I think this translates as "I'm broke". Ah sure money, the universal language. Simply put Murt, that means I can't send you money in advance because I haven't got any (BTW in our neck of the woods the money transmission franchise holder is North Western Union as we're closer to being up the Pole than ye are.)

    So like the good man I know you are would you please now re-consider the offer I made in all good faith in my last letter. I'm now willing to pay you a higher commission on the transaction, say 15% or 127,500.00 Great British Pound and grant you full power of attorney over my African investment portfolio. This would entitle you to use the title Wholly Accredited Nigerian Knowlegeworker & Enterprise Representative or W.A.N.K.E.R., a much sought-after and often-granted title in the former financial services industry over here.

    Have we a deal so Murt? We're practically related so you can trust me. Me Ma and me Da tell me they used to put the pennies in the box for the missions that Sr. Concepta Immaculata had in low infants. The other day they were saying that if they'd known so many of ye were going to buy one-way plane tickets and lap-tops with that money they'd have saved up and gone to America themselves instead. Ah Jaysus the aul' lad is gas, wouldn't you know I didn't pick it up offa the street, ha ha ha.

    Slán go fóil, your Irish cousin, Homer

    Ask whether your unmentionables had got mixed in with your particulars, because you think that hoor down the road's been after stealing them again, but you just want to be certain before calling the gardaí on her.

    And what parcel would he be sending? You'd tried ordering something off one of them Amazonians you were told about, but 32 kilos sounds a bit heavy for the wrench, but you do need it quick because the pipe's stuck fast.

    I have also been fortunate to get a bit of good news this evening so it looks like all my troubles are over maby the esteemed mathepac will look after this and I will gladly hand over 30% of the money for his troubles!!
    Dear Friend,

    It is understandable that you might be a little bit apprehensive because you do not know me,
    Please forgive this unusual manner to contact you, but this particular letter/email is of exceptional
    and very private nature, as by virtue of my vantage position in Hang Seng Bank Ltd -Hong Kong
    i have a lucrative business proposal of mutual interest to share with you. There is no way for me to
    know whether I will be properly understood, but it is my duty to write and reach out to you, TRUSTING
    that you will give this proposal a positive consideration.

    I am Mr. William Leung Wing Cheung, the Executive Director and Head of Personal Banking of Hang Seng
    Bank Limited, Hong-Kong with responsibility for the Bank’s financial services to individual customers which
    cover deposits, loans, trust, private banking, insurance and the Bank’s branch network. I will need you to
    assist me in executing a business project from our bank worth US$25.5 Million. These funds were deposited
    with our bank by a customer of our bank who is a national {citizen} of your country/region, who
    unfortunately died in the December 2004 Asia Tsunami disaster.

    For more on this natural disaster click on these links:-

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/newsid_4530000/newsid_4537600/4537601.stm

    http://www.globalsecurity.org/eye/andaman-us.htm

    The deceased account has been declared dormant since 2006 and these funds will be
    confiscated/declared unserviceable and turned over to the Hong Kong government if the deceased
    business associates or next-of-kin did not claim this money; since all efforts to trace any living relative
    of the deceased proved abortive, i have decided that i will have you claim this money as the deceased
    business associate/or next-of-kin, since you are from the same country/region and perhaps have some
    similarities in certain areas.

    Everything concerning this transaction shall be LEGALLY done without hitch, as i was the deceased
    account Officer and all the relevant documents of this deposit were kept under my care.

    I will in the course of this transaction sends to you all of my legal and valid Identities {I.D} and also our
    bank web site, where you can see my pictures and resumes for your reference.

    Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue, as i hope that
    you are a sincere, honest, matured person and above all TRUSTWORTHY. Once the funds have
    been successfully transferred into your account, we shall share it in a ratio of 30% for you,65% for
    me and my associates in the bank and the reminder 5% to take care of contingencies.

    I will prefer you reach me on my private email address below :{ leungwingwilliamcheung@yahoo.com) and
    finally after that I shall furnish you with more information about this operation. I am counting on your
    anticipated co-operation for a successful and hitch free business transaction between us, that will be
    mutually beneficial, for a start oblige me these information:-

    1.Your Full name{s}:-

    2.Current contact address:-

    3.Your present Occupation:-

    4.Your age:-

    5.Contact phone numbers {Office and Mobile{cell}:-

    {6}Your PRIVATE/CONFIDENTIAL e-mail address, if it is different.

    Please if you are not interested delete this email and do not hurt me because I am putting my career and
    the life of my family at stake with this venture. Although nothing ventured is nothing gained, as it is said,
    the taste of the pudding is in the eating, do give this proposal SERIOUS AND POSITIVE CONSIDERATION,
    but mindful of the fact also that it is HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL.

    Your earliest response to this letter will be highly appreciated.

    Kind regards,

    Mr. William Leung Wing Cheung,
    {Executive Director/Head Personal Banking}
    Hang Seng Bank Limited
    Hong Kong.{Asia}
