O CANADA

Scam-o-note: for visitors who are neither American nor Canadian, it may be useful to know that what makes this funny - to Americans, anyway - is that Canada is widely admired in the US, where Canadians are stereotypically considered especially polite. Canadian actor John Candy built a whole movie around the concept. And overall, we are lucky to have Canada for a neighbor.
Okay sorry if this killed the joke.
And now on with our regularly scheduled scambait: ROSEMARY GEORGE versus CASEY JONES.

Dear Rosemary George,
Your proposal sounds interesting, however before I send you any information I must ask you one question. Are you now, or have you ever been, a CANADIAN? If you are CANADIAN I cannot help you, for I will not have anything to do with the treacherous CANUCKS of the north. Please don't be put off by my questions, but I have to be careful...the agents of the MAPLE LEAF are everywhere!

As soon as I have your response we can begin our work together.

Yours faithfully,
John Luther Jones

Dear RoseMary,

I've received your message, and I'm afraid you didn't answer my question so let me ask you again.
Are you now, or have you ever been a CANADIAN? Please let me know as soon as possible as I cannot work with someone who may be an agent of the menacing RED MAPLE LEAF. If you are pure of heart and free from the corrupting influence of the GREAT WHITE NORTH I will help you in any way I can.

Patiently waiting,
John Luther Jones

Dearest Rosemary,
So you say you are from Ghana, eh? Well this is indeed good news! To the best of my knowledge, Ghana is about as far away as you can get from CANADA. So now we can begin our work together in earnest- Me helping get you and your money out of Africa, and you providing me with 3 million dollars for my efforts. Your contacting me must have been a sign from God, for all that money will be of great benefit to me and my organization.

As soon as I get back to my office, I will look up all the information you need and send it you post haste.
