So, finally I fashioned a response to this last one, which will most assuredly fall on deaf, um...IPs. But I had fun anyway!
"Naw, not going to help you steal there, Ms Woodward, or whoever you are. Assuming you are a person, and your inquiry is not generated from a machine, I need to inform you that these emails are such old news.
Evidently there are all kinds of monies languishing in various bank vaults or safe deposit boxes all around the world. And I - lowly non-financial-background me - seem to be the ONLY person in the good old capitalistic USA (or any other industrialized nation) with a pulse that is capable of receiving said monies.
Now, what to do with the money always changes. Sometimes I'm asked to open up accounts, sometimes just put the money under my mattress. I assume it's all startup capital for a cleaning business - must have something to do with laundering - I guess? That is a bit sad, don’t you think? Not that I count myself to be among the great unwashed of the world. I don't see why a disposed prince from Fill in obscure African Country here or an official of Fictional Asian Corporation wouldn't want to become my pen pal. I'm kind to animals and I've been told that I'm a decent conversationalist.
So, Ms Woodward, as delightful as this current proposal seems, I'm content with staying on THIS side of the law, at least for today anyway."

Haha, you have the power Mary, you are the wheels of commerce maintaining the cycle of capitalism for the whole world (and I mean that in a nice way).
Excellent stuff, and forget Rudolph, that Coach Comet would have been off his miserable old face on this here joy!

The sad thing is, they do find plenty of idiots & half wits to respond with what they need. It only takes one....
