It’s been many years since several Nigerian princes were trying to start up a relationship with me. Yesterday this showed in my junk mailbox. I was so bored, I opened it.

“Attn:

I am Mrs. Hajia Hannah Ahmed I am a Widow and member of the contract award committee and 14 project allocation manager, of the Department of Minerals and Natural Resources in Syria;

Due to the war in Syria, I am in search of an agent or company to assist me to invest my fund (USD$35Million) and subsequent investment in properties in your country. You will be required to. If you decide to render your service to me in this regard, 30% of the total sum of USD$35M will be given to you for your service.

Yours Faithfully,

Mrs. Hajia Hannah Ahmed”

Ah, poor widowed Mrs. Ahmed who wants to invest in my country. You would think she could at least hire a good translator.
