From: Ademola
Johnson <”www.”@triton.ocn.ne.jp>
I was expecting ajohnson@ustreasury.gov, but this seems equally legit. Other than not knowing the
difference between a website and an email address, you have proven yourself
worthy of my attention. By the way do you still need my attention? I am easily
distrac-
Attention:
OK fine, sheesh.
Good day, this is to inform you of your long overdue Compensation Payment In this office Files records over here.
Good day, this is to inform you of your long overdue Compensation Payment In this office Files records over here.
That is an impressive collection of words that
almost form a coherent thought. I especially like the concluding “over here,”
because for a second I thought these words were coming from over there.
This
department founds your name
Me thinks yours’ department be good at founding
things.
and email
address in the Central Computer / Federal Ministry of Finance among list of
Scam Victim unpaid Compensation Funds and have to update your information by
contacting you
Are you allowed, over there at Triton, which is
a branch of the federal government, to run words through the Central Computer
to see if they have the capacity to form sentences? Try it! It will be cool.
Through this
email for your immediate confirmation response back to my Office without delay.
The value capital Compensation fund amount of $3,800, 000.00 USD (Three Million
Eight Hundred Thousand dollars only) is to your favor listed name for immediate
payment.
Exactly how immediate
will the time be with which I will receive my $3.8 million? Despite the remaining
words in this email which I can see through my peripheral, I am currently
assuming that there are no obstacles and that maybe you sent me the money
already?
However
However
Dammit.
we received an
email from one Mr.George M. Muthara, who told us that he is your NEXT OF KIN
and that you died in a car accident last four Months back.
OMG, classic George. One time in high school,
George called the main office pretending to be my dad and told the secretary
that we had to cancel school because I fell off Bear Mountain. And they did! It
was hil-AIRES. Anyway, I don’t know him.
He has also
submitted his account information’s to the office Department for transfer of
the fund payment credit to him as your Inheritor of the fund stated herein.
See now I’m kind of annoyed. George always takes these things too far. But hey, lemme ask you this—for a department that so easily founds my name, can’t you just as easily rectify this situation with even a modicum of research?

No? Can’t do that? OK. You know what—I don’t need to deal with
this George drama. In fact, I’m getting another dope email right now. Lemme
check it out …
Subject: GREETINGS TO YOU
DEAREST !
Seems promising.
From: MR MIKE PENCE
Wow, this is big.
GREETINGS TO YOU DEAREST !
Consistency equals legitimacy. I am dearest, I think. This
better not be an invite to a platonic, man-to-man dinner.

States
I don’t normally play favorites, but STEP ASIDE, ADEMOLA
JOHNSON.
and this is to
inform you about your Bank Check Draft brought back by the United Embassy
from the government of Benin Republic in the white house Washington DC as your
compensation fund
I didn’t realize that U.S./Benin Republic
diplomatic relations had improved since the travel ban, but it’s about time the
United Embassy retrieved my money. (FYI, the “white house” is in Washington DC, so this checks out.)
been mandated to be deliver to your home
address ,To avoid wrong delivery of your check draft worth Ten
million united states dollars ( 10.000.000,00 Million) Kindly
reconfirm to me the below data
It is indeed my preference that my $10 million not be delivered
to someone else by mistake. I will confirm my contact info … but only if you give me
yours. Samsies, lol. For real though, these are my terms.
Contact Email Address:
(pence.m62@yahoo.com)
Contact Cell Phone-Number (202) 844-7255
Thank you, Mike Pence. I will hit you up at
your Yahoo address as opposed to your Gmail, as I understand this is mad
confidential, son. And I know how your administration values confidentiality.
YOURS SINCERELY,MR MIKE PENCE
VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
YOURS SINCERELY,MR MIKE PENCE
VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
This is literally how I imagine actual Mike Pence signs off.
Anyway, I would say that this email is embarrassing to the White House, but …
you know.

Fun fact: The Herbert Kornfeld conceit would have worked just as well had they used a photo of Mike Pence for his mugshot.
