419 Engrish Of The Month:

Goodday ,
        I solicit for your good refine temperament on this  unwarranted mail,
but hope you will consider it worth giving  attention. Thus, a pre-meditated    
contact, trust and honor which  i bestowed on your personality.


For amusement, I ran it through Babelfish a bit (=> Korean => English => Dutch => French => Greek => English), but to my disappointment we haven't yet hit that fabled level of broken language whereupon performing the above contortions will actually serve to clarify the meaning. Alas.

It's perfectly comprehensible :-)

I've got some good stuff in my 419 collection, IIRC — not sure if there's anything at quite that level, though. And I will not go looking now, because it's entirely too late at night for me to be that distracted.

My favorite to date is the one from PRINCESS EDNA SUSHI.

That's... wonderful. <rummage/> And I guess it beats my PRINCE CHARS. But I do have a message whose body begins thusly:
Dearest in the Lord.


PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.


I am the above named person from Senegal.


But after that it goes into a fairly normal 419.
