my nigerian scam.

So lately I was contacted by one of those scammers. You know, the one where they inform you that they are in exile, and wish for you to enter into a 'business venture' with them, and false promises of rich profits.

Naturally, as most are apt to do after receiving such emails,

I decided to reply them.

This continued for abit, then I got busier, so I decided to explain the best way I can that I was not interested.

Here's our conversations:

I am Mr Keni Kabari from Monrovia, a Politician, ex-deputy Director natural
resources .

I pray you consider this mail because i have in mind to invest
with a responsible personality like you, my believe made me to
write this mail to you, so please treat it with the respect i accorded
to you, i am aware that a lot of negative things goes on in the
internet, but is a modern way of communication, we cannot avoid it

The present government can not see eye to eye with me
because of my opposition stand so it becomes difficult to invest in my country.

My main reason of this mail is to know if you can put some amount of
money i have outside the country in a profitable venture in your
country or any country of your choice.
Please this is personal, i expect your response.then phone number to call you.

My regards,

Mr Keni Kabari

My sympathies to your current situation. Hope you get well soon.

Hi Keni,
It is with much regret that after much discussion with my wife, I will not be undertaking this business venture with you. She feels strongly about the possible risks involved as she is a cautious person, and does not wish for myself to be involved as our finances are shared.
I hope you can understand my situation.
I wish you all the best with your venture.
