Over at IveTriedThat, Joe is running a contest and the prize is a some fame in the form of a mention on his blog. Time will tell if the back link is worth the effort of writing this, but it’s fun so here goes my own, original scam email.
If I find out that anyone is actually using this email to make money I’ll be forced to sue you for at least half the profits.
I’m sure you don’t remember me, but I was the shy redhead in the back of your 3rd grade class back in {CITY}. I always looked up to you but was too shy to say so. While we never again shared a class room, I did watch you from afar as you grew up and admired your success. As we entered high school and I finally built up the courage to say hi but my parents shipped me off to a boarding school in Europe.
At the time I hated them for sending me off, but I now realize it was what I needed. At the boarding school I overcame my shyness and after getting a degree from Oxford started one successful business after another. I now own a chain of hotels spread across a dozen tropical resorts and have my hands in a 18 successful Internet startups.
However, all this success comes with the price of loneliness. I have ever found that special person because I’ve always held them up next o you and they just don’t compare. You were my first love and nobody an replace you. I will be traveling a lot in the next month but will land in St. Thomas for a ground breaking of my newest hotel 5 weeks from today.
Please join me for the celebration. I will be out of touch for a couple weeks so please contact my esteemed assistant at SHAD1745@aol.com and he will help you make arrangements and wire you some money for a suit and travel expenses.
Love and Kisses,
The shy redhead.
