Diplomat has a Package for Me!

Options
Got an e-mail yesterday, apparently a diplomat is at JFK airport wanting to deliver me a package worth £750,000! Just one small problem, the poor diplomat cannot pay the $55 tag fee so he can leave the airport to deliver my package.

I have no idea where he thinks I live, my e-mail address ends in .uk, maybe he confused that with JFK?

Anyway, here are my communications with this idiot...

    Attn:

    I’m Diplomat Richard; I have been trying to reach you on your Telephone about an hour now just to inform you about my successful Arrival in John F.Kennedy International Airport with your two boxes of Consignment worth 750 thousand Dollars which I have been instructed By ECO-WAS COURIER DELIVERY COMPANY to be delivered to you. The Airport authority demanded for all the legal back up papers to prove to them that the fund is no way related with drug nor fraud money,

    I have presented the papers I handed to them and they are very much Pleased with the paper’s I presented but the only thing that is still Keeping me here is the airport delivery Tag which is not placed on the Boxes, one of the Airport Authority has advise that we get the Delivery tag so that I can exit the airport immediately and make my Delivery successful .I try to reason with them and they stated the Delivery tag will cost us just $ 55 Dollars only to get the two tags Placed on the boxes as that tag will enable me get to your house Successfully without any interference, they scanned the boxes and Found out that the fund is 100 % spend able and accepted by any bank In the whole world.

    Please try and reach me with my international roaming number + 229 99659382 as I can not afford to spend more time here due to other Delivery I have to take care of in Bangkok. Here are the papers Backing the funds together with my ID CARD as I can accompany you to Your bank were you will deposit the fund successfully with these papers. I have i more vital paper with me but I can only present you the hard copy when I reach your house as that it’s the diplomatic rules, such as authorization to deliver.

    You can direct the tag fee to our Head Office as they will get it here for you and they are entitled to receive and make any payment to foreign countries authority.

    I am a little confused...

    You have arrived at John F Kennedy Airport? Which of my addresses are you attempting to deliver to? Which of my numbers have you been trying to call? Who is the consignment being sent by? If you need to pay $55 to the airport authorities in the USA why are you asking for the $55 to be sent to the Benin Republic? If you are a diplomat why are you using an insecure gmail address? What country are you a diplomat of? Why is a diplomat also an employee of DHL? Why are you always in the habit of travelling around the world delivery packages that have no tags?

    I am very very confused!!!

    You are still in JFK airport? And without $55 to pay for the tags? You must be a very poor diplomat! I trust that you have the consignment strapped to your body, lest someone should steal it.

    I would recommened putting a notice about your person, stating 'DO NOT TOUCH, I HAVE A BOMB ATTACHED TO MY BODY'. That way you will have no problems someone stealing the money when you fall asleep.

    If you are really in such a hurry to leave the airport for your next flight. I would suggest that you use your diplomatic credit card, draw out $55 from an ATM, and pay for the tags yourself. In fact it may be a good idea to draw out a little bit more money so that you will have some cash to pay for that Bang C0ck flight!

    Let me know when you have paid for the tags and then tell me which of my addresses you are wanting to meet me at!

    It is a pleasure to do business with you.

    Attn: Man at JFK

    OK, give me time to fly the 5,000 miles from UK to JFK. But how will I find you at JFK? I assume it must be a big airport? Perhaps I just need to look for an African beggar who is wearing a sign saying that he is carrying a bomb!

    A pleasure doing business with you ivekwu nwaoji!!!!

    Love it!

    Over and above the ludicrous nature of the claims made in Wilfred's (EDIT /Richard's?) emails I found his command of English amusing!

    Presumably he changed his name from Richard to Wilfred by deed poll as a way of passing the time while he was stuck at the airport.

    He also seems to have undergone a name-change. First he was Richard and then he somehow morphed into Wilfred.

    What is with the name change, 'Diplomat Richard' suddenly became 'Diplomat Wilfred', I wonder if he knows who he really is.
