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!

Wow! Good one... This email starts saying: "I know you'll be surprised by this email since you don't know me..." and then it says: "Thank you for contacting me earlier". Maybe I don't understand French too well anymore!
Ho! Yeah! By the way, this is the widow of the former Philippians minister of finance. Okay, that's fine with me, after all she has the right to be. What I find a bit odd for a Philippians is that she speaks perfect French!!! Okay, just kidding, that's not perfect French, but still pretty good. That is, maybe they learn French in ...

This is really becoming sad. Now here they are telling you that kids need to be adopted and if you get them, you'll get close to 1 million dollars... All of that to get your money. Hmmmm....

Interessant... Le Canada cherche des jeunes diplômés de 22 à 50 ans. Il est évidemment possible d'avoir été diplômé recement et avoir 50 ans. Peut-être que les vieux de 50 ans pourront devenir Serviteur de bar. Encore que s'ils ont de la chance, ils deviendront surment Directeur de boîte.
Bon, en passant tous vos papiers seront fait à l'Embassade du Canada en France. Sympa non? Assez logique de mon point de vue. Bon...
Je peux pas attendre d'être contacter par mon Directeur de la ...

For those who don't know "Assalamou Aley Koum" means "Hi" in arabic
(actually, really it means "Peace be to you", but it is usually translated
as "Hi" since that's mostly the way it is used.)
It just isn't usually written that way in latin letters. In general
it is written like this: "Assalamu 'Alaikum". It is also found
written as "As-salaamu Alaikum".
Assalam Alaikum in arabic:
اﻟﺴﻼه ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ
