    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    I had a woman come in to the bank I work at to ask for a £5k loan to send on to something worded very similar to that.

    I saw the correspondence backwards and forwards and it was rather amusing.

    I advised her not to and didn't even try and process the loan.

    I guess if she'd absolutely insisted I would have but she said she'd already sent them a few hundred quid and I didn't want to see the (rather simple) woman paying a chunk of her wages to my bank for nothing.
