Since, like anyone else, I receive tons of scam emails and snail mail letters, I decided to present here some of these. All of these (and many more which I just delete) are scams. This means, what the senders have in mind is to racket one of us. And according to what I've seen, they do succeed quite often.
If you have similar letters in your mailbox, either disregard or play with the person knowing that you can't give him (or her) any information about:
-
Your bank account,
-
Your address — or any valid address if that matter,
-
Your family, and
-
any other information that you judge private or even intimate.
Ha! I say "Your"... even if you don't like your neighbor at all, don't give his information either. The Internet leaves tracks (hackers in the US are being caught one after another!) and you would certainly be in even bigger trouble.
In the meantime, I hope you will enjoy reading these letters as I do myself once in a while. 8-)I do not always add comments with the letters since I usually don't have time to do so, but there would often be a lot of joke to tell!

"Dans l'espoir de vous relire" -- si vous n'êtes pas français vous ne comprendrez pas forcement la subtilité de cette phrase. Mariam me dit qu'il va vérifier mon email (en général, relire veut dire vérifier que tout est bien écrit...)
Bon, je suis comptant, elle a prié et pouf! j'ai été choisi. Merci le petit bon dieu!
Ha! Oui, aussi l'email m'est arrivée en 32 exemplaires...

This is interesting, an italian company supposedly looking for
resellers. It looks to me as if the company was legitimate, but
not this email. That is, this email seems to be a scammer who
pretends that he's working as the Secretary of that Mondoffice
company, but has nothing to do with it. Rather, he would want
to sell drugs or something like that and needs your help. Hey!
Wanna answer the guy? He emailed from a Hotmail account and
asks you to reply to a Yahoo! account... hmmm.... Ha! And it
wasn't really hotmail by the way since the sender used some
open relay to send the mail.

It looks like this is improving. Thought this is still a scam, contrary
to the usual, this one is pretty well written. That's too bad because I
just cannot write jokes about it... 8-)
