一封精妙绝伦的英文诈骗信

gmail里收到一封来自非洲的信,神秘兮兮的告知我继承了1500万美元的遗产,而巨额财产的主人因飞机失事已于2000年某日死亡。非洲黑大哥说是在yahoo旅游信息里搜索到我的,还郑重其事的留下了他的联系方式,速盼回复。

这样的诈骗手段以前听说过,也收到过类似的邮件。有些不明就里抱着试试看心态的人还真的会探头探脑和黑大哥们联络一番,更有甚者前往非洲某国一探究竟,看到的是忙碌的公司和西装革履办事严谨的律师先生。他们有一大堆的材料证明你就是那笔财富的 the supposed next of kin of the deceased,让你晕头转向之余对自己血液里有富人基因深信不疑。有趣!

我逐字逐句推敲着这封英文信,分明是欺诈,措辞、修饰、语气等却用心良苦,都可作为高级英文班的经典读物了。

开头这句就显露出骗子黑大哥深厚的英文功底
