A surprisingly honest offer

I get 419 scam emails all the time. If you're on the internet, I bet you do too. I bothered to read one today simply because it had better English than I normally see, and it claimed to be from a British estate executor rather than the former assistant to the Deputy Minister of Oil of Arundi Barundi.

So you can probably imagine my surprise when I read this sentence:

To facilitate the process of immediate transfer of this fund to your designated bank account, you need firstly signify your interest by contacting me via e-mail, and then I will appraise you with complete details as soon as I obtain your confidence.
(italics mine)


What refreshing honesty for an email scam!
