Hang On, Loopy

Recently I received this email from ostensible British financier Garry Loopy:

I sent an email to you but it seems you never received it. I had to take the pain to send it again. I seek your partnership to enable me transfer some funds (Ј6m pounds) to your account for both of us and i am open for negotiation in terms of your percentage so far you put in your utmost attention and sincerity due to the nature of this transaction.I am the finance manager Bank of Scotland and I assure all documents to back you up will be provided by me. Please respond to me via email for more details.

Best Regards,
Garry Loopy

I swan, an offer -- let's face it, an email handle of "grippy" -- is ever so tempting, readers. And yet I'm an American girl. Mr. Loopy seeks my partnership! What in the world shall I do?

Poor Garry has fallen on hard times. He was observed just last week wearing tattered tartan kilts below his hounds tooth rayon smoking jacket, loitering on Edinburgh street corners, accosting pedestrians, and asking them to "bide a wee."

My Dearest Ms. Utton:

I was deeply concerned to come across your treatise outlining my generous offer in the blogosphere.

Although I must declare that I have certain issues with this publicity. However, you will pleased to know they will have no adverse affects upon my original offer.

Furthermore, i am pleased to inform you i will open the offer to all of your followers, with the exception of one called "Henri," who has openly disparaged my correspondence, and engendered the ire of The Bank of Scotland. (Lord help him if he asks a loan of them ;-)

The remaining nine followers will be warmly welcomed to share the adjusted wealth percentages, as it were, if they act promptly, before midnight, March 1st.

Of course, the Bank of Scotland has agreed to these revised terms, and will provide suitable documentation.

Yours in High Finance,
Garry Loopy

Dang! Missed the midnight deadline. I guess I'll just take advantage of some other can't-miss offers crowing my inbox for Free Medz, Viagra and Check Out My F*ckbook Page.
