Dear Honorable and intelligent citizen of Nigeria:
Hello. My name is Tim Pawlenty and I am governor of the state of
Minnesota in the United States of America, and I am sending you this e-mail
to give you a wonderful opportunity to make a lot of money like so
many of my fellow Americans do. Right now my state of Minnesota has a
lot of wealth, but I need to make my state government budget balance
its bookwork, and to do that, I plan to have the state of Minnesota
build several casinos that can bring gambling money to help the
government. I am asking you to invest in a sure thing. It is sure
because gambling brings in more money in one year than the cost of
building the casino. With your financial commitment, of, say, $500,000,
my state can pay you back a great profit for your investment. But we
need to build the casinos quickly.
With your financial commitment of , say, $500,000, you can be paid
back with many profits. Many Nigerians have sent e mails to people in
my state offering to share in various financial plans, so I feel we
have already forged a friendship bond between our peoples. With your
financial commitment of, say, $500,000, you can be paid back with many
profits. My office is ready for your check of, say, $500,000, and I am
your friend.
Sincerely,
The Governor of Minnesota
