Trust me, I'm a criminal

You know, the Nigerian bank fraud plans really are my favorite spam emails, even better than the ones that promise to do amazing things to body parts I don't possess. And this one brought a real smile to my face: because of course you're more likely to trust someone after they've admitted to massive fraud!

( the letter opens like this... )

So, you know, they're crooks (and they can't format emails), but that's not all. They also have trouble with math. Which may be how that "over-invoicing" happened in the first place.

( two plus two equals... )

Really. An admitted crook who can't count: who better as a partner in a shady business deal?
