National Lampoon, the magazine that gave us "Animal House" and "Vacation", did something like this in the 1970's. As a joke the ran a cover with a picture of a dog with a gun to its head and the caption "Buy this magazine or the dog gets it!"
It is with heart full of hope and gods wish that I write to seek your help. With animal euthanasia looming under the global credit crunch, now is the time for us to show the world just how much we care. It's just not right. Hungry puppies and kittens in our very own country are living at or just below the poverty line! Atrocious! And, as if that weren't bad enough, they will be deprived of bisquits. But now you can help! For about five thousand nairas a day--that's less than the cost of a latte at some resorts--you can help a cute puppie or fluffy kitten remain economically viable during their time of need.
Five thousand naira a day may not seem like a lot of money to you, but to a S. O. B. it could mean the difference between a flee dip or the gas chamber.
"HOW WILL YOU KNOW I'M HELPING?"
Each month, you will receive a complete financial report on the puppie or kitten you sponsor. Detailed information about his stocks, bonds, 401(k), real estate, and other investment holdings will be mailed to your home. You'll also get information on how he plans to invest the $5 million lump sum youhe will receive upon retirement. Plus upon signing up for this program, you will receive a photo of the puppie or kitten (unsigned). Put the photo on your refrigerator to remind you of other peoples' suffering.
First of all, you have to transcribe the letter below in to your letter headed paper, or plain paper, and send it back to me so that I will submit it to the INTERNATIONAL REMITANCE DEPARTMENT of the bank...
...I will require you to also send me your private telephone and fax numbers, I will submit this also to the bank, I want you to act as the real beneficiary of the fund in question. I will also want you to send me the front and back photocopy of your international passport or driver's licence...
If everyone started replying with bogus information to the nigerian e-mail scammers we could waste all thier time and maybe a save a few people who fall for these items.
Surprising that it took so long for them to resort to this.
Yet another reason to not allow riffraff countries on the internet.

There is a sucker born every second of the day.
I always figured suckers were 60x as prevalent as ol' P.T. estimated...
