Probably akin to the afore-said 419eaters, but I have to put in a good word for Brad. I've lost many an office hour (and much credibility among my colleagues with muffled choking snortling) pouring over his correspondence with ignorant scammers. I do love that site :)

My response in "419er"ese

Dear fiend,

Most happiness I see when I am reading youre email to be telling me of the superior windfall that is to become my post in the FedEx mail from you.The last few months have been very harrowed as I wait to hear more news of my long lost uncle who has mysteriously died in a motoring incident after many fruitful years working in the acquisitions department of the most prestigeous "Bank of Nigeria and other European Nations" and of his glorious secretary who desperately wishes my having these many millions of (insert currency) to benefit from in return only for my personal details and not for running a scam on my identity.It is good to

get you're emails because I know that there is upstanding honest people in the world and you must be one of them.

...actually, I love these emails, complete with their fantastic grammatical gaffs, spelling atrocities and the most outlandish promises of insane monetary gains. It is quite impossible for me to be taken in by such a scheme for the simple fact that there is not one millionaire on the planet who is also an illiterate retard. And then I remember the football association, and my head begins to hurt really bad. Where's the "Don't Panic" icon?
