Hello, my name is Dr Ubungme M'bezzler

I work for prestigious UK government, in office of respected Mr Darling

FOLLOWING THE LOSS of 25 million personal records by Alistair Darling’s HMRC, the INQUIRER received this unconvincing email from a Dr Ubungme M’Bezzler, who claims to be an official in Gordon Brown’s Cabinet. We're publishing it here as a warning for the weak and weedy.


Dear Mr Inquirer,

I work for prestigious UK government, in office of respected Mr Darling.

I have received a sum not appertaining to less than £25 billion (one thousand UK pounds for each child on benefit) but for reasons I cannot divulge, I am unable to take money out of country. The money came from perfectly legitimate venture, which must remain secret.

I immediately thought of you, Mr Insert Name, as the British gentleman I would most like to share this prestigious business opportunity with. If you can advance me small amount of your salary, as a gesture of goodwill, we can do business.

No, hang on a second, Mr Darling’s already given me all your banking details. Don’t worry.

Good bye.

I will see you again, when we discuss the Identity Card Scheme.

Regards

Doctor Ubungme M’Bezzler

Wow...

When you receive all of that money, could you please buy me a copy of Vista Ultimate? I promise to send you a copy of Ubuntu as a show of good faith.

LOL - very good article. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Joke

C'mon guys, they're clearly taking the piss. Just like that Ebay auction for CD's containing the 25 million lost records. The Labour party is SO incompetent what else can you do but laugh at them.

Joke?

I fail to see what the Labour party has to do with it, it was the incompetence of a junior civil servant, who would be working there no matter which party was in power. Eejit.
