My response:
Dear Patricia,
Can I call you Patty? Great!
Thanks for reminding me about not finishing this bank account fund transaction. You know I still haven't kicked that AJAX-snorting fetish of mine and those blackouts keep happening right along with them.
Yeah I can contact the Finance House. Do you know if they have an extra room where I can crash the next time I go on my AJAX bender. I don't need much, just a room and floor. Hell I'll take the closet if need be.
Where was I? AJAX? No. Right - money. Thanks for spelling out what $900000.00 is in words. Because you know I have problems putting commas in money amounts. Oh wait - no that's you. My bad.
Ok so all I have to do is pay for the cheque...doh! Now you got me doing it! It's check, dammit! Check!
"From the bottom of your heart?" "Good Faith?" "God bless you and your family?" You know that if there is a hell, you are building a mansion down there trying to take advantage of computer-illiterate and elderly people right? So with that being said...
GFY with a chainsaw,

I hate getting those damn emails. I'd feel sorry for the people that fall for them, but seriously! Who buys into this crap? Your reply was genius!
I swear. The spam-fail posts are what got me here, and kept me here. Classic. Thanks for the laugh, I really needed it today!
LOL. I love getting those letters. I've never responded to one though, and I applaud the initiative.
Now, that's a great answer! :-)
Ha fucking HA! I do shit like that all the time and even today I had a twenty minute convo with a scam artist on Skype! I keep telling him I sent him an email and to check his junk folder...he would leave for a few minutes, so I would send him different smiley's like "flexing arm" and "dancing stick figure!" I told him I'd get an email over to him, so I better get to it right away!
Yeah, go get 'em Geof!
Ah, if only I was so clever and could control my temper long enough to type something....other than the delete key!!!
You are my hero!
Cheers!
Bloody vikings!
ps. I spell it cheque as well, though I don't think I'll utilize the chainsaw in the way you propose.
Actually, responding to those emails is great entertainment. You need to string them along, pretend like you are interested. It's funny when they start getting impatient.
That was awesome! I feel so sorry for the people who believe it.
PURE WIN!
HAHAHA!!! This was beautiful. In every way! :)
Thats almost as convincing as the time Metallica emailed me for having a Napster account and said they werent going to sue me if I sent them my full name, address, and social security info
