Laz, you outdid yourself here. This is hillarious!
Good day to you sir. I am Mrs. Halaria Swalahari. I am sending you this email in an attempt for your help and assistance at this time.
I am the window of the late Prince Swalahari of Kenya or Nigeria or somewhere. My poor husband recently died and left 16.5 $ US DOLLARS which is now causing me much grief and disconsolation.
You see, officials here will seaze this money unless I can I ask of you to help assist me in transferring these funds to US banks as quick as possible. I thank God or Allah or whoever for your very kind assistance to me as I ask of you this favor in which in which I shall gladly let you keep 1/10 of 28 US MILLION DOLLARS ($3,600,000.00) for your time, trouble, assistance and bank and routing number.
Please to feel free to dialogue with my trusted associate there in the United States Mr. Responsibility2nd. He will act as my liaison to help fulfill the dying wishes of my late husband As he wanted to make you a very rich SOB.
Thank you and God bless.
But,,but, I’m not dead yet!...
He couldn’t just give it to the Human Fund?
True story. I represent a few Nigerians in Detroit (all Christian) who refer others to me. One man, back in 2010, had a dispute with U.S. Customs over cash seized at an airport (after settling, Customs issued his refund to the wrong party who absconded). So a lawyer with the Foreign Ministry in Nigeria (for some reason) was going to wire me funds on the client’s behalf. All I had to do was provide bank account information. Long story short, I may be one of the few on this board who actually got real U.S. dollars from Nigeria and got to keep it. (The trust account I used had no other funds in it when I sent the account information).
Good stuff, Laz. Thanks.

I see a Dr Phil episode in this story........
Seriously though if this is true, it is quite strange that no one wanted to accept his funds after his death. In my experience that’s all the relatives want. After, of course the requisite crying. LOL
I’m glad the bassturd offed himself.
After almost 6 years of exchanging emails with him and him assuring me the check would be in the mail by the end of the month I got suspicious.
Finally in October I realized he was scamming me when for the 44th time the check didn’t arrive.
You just can’t trust anyone anymore.
Next it will be Kenneth Copeland, Benny Henn, Joel Olstein, etc...That will commit suicide trying to give away their wealth.
Okay, now THAT’S funny.
A likely story! Obviously a victim of Arkanicide! If only he’d followed through with the scam, and delivered the funds to the Clinton foundation! (The incriminating e-mail is in a folder on Carlos’laptop, mixed in with pictures of yoga pants).
Where can I send an in kind donation ?
This is your finest work. I commend you Sir!
Well done!
Hey Prince, I was only kidding, OK> Who is the executor? I must contact him right away as I have great need for money to distribute the poor.
Don’t you all see the effect that putting these requests in your spam folder can have???
DANG!
DAMN YOU MEAN THOSE WERE REAL????
Some of the Prince’s relatives have been busy:

Anyone who missed the opportunity to get the prince’s money can send me their bank information and I will make sure they get a second chance at it. For the children.
