Random spam hits the right target

High-larious response to the Nigerian Money Laundry Scam from a Delaware Deputy Attorney General who runs a blog:
However, to provide the necessary assurances, I must also respectfully suggest that as a gesture of your own good faith, we should conduct an initial face-to-face meeting, prior to taking any further steps toward obtaining the $19 million.

In my work as a Deputy Attorney General, I have found that there is no substitute for direct personal contact when engaging in multi-million dollar transactions.

Therefore, I urge you to travel to Dover, Delaware, and meet me at Room 2001 in the J. Allen Frear Federal Building, 300 South New Street, on March 15, 2002 at 9:30 a.m. It’s close by my office, so it won’t be hard to slip out to meet you.

As you will no doubt discover through your own careful research, such as you conducted when you sent me this e-mail, Room 2001 in the Frear Building happens to be the local office of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
