Dear Sir,
I don’t know who this other person you were writing to is , but, my name is Bo Luke. I operate a moonshine business with my brother, Luke. You might say that we are in the “distribution” business. I am interested in your proposal. I know a little about steel – as I have that album “british steel” by Judas Priest. Please tell me more.
Cincrely,
Bo Luke
Hazzard County, USA
DEAR BO
MANY THANKS TO RETUNING MY E.MAIL SO QUICKLY. AS TIME IS OF URGENT MATTER – I MUST IMMEDIATELY RECEIVE YOUR BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER TELEPHONE NUMER OF YOUR HOME. AS IHAV MENTION BEFORE OGEIBRI,AFORMER DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATION AND FINANCE IN THE ALADJA STEEL ROLLING MILL IN EFURUN NEAR WARRI, DELTA STATE OF NIGERIA DIED RECENTLY AND IT IS ONLY THROUGH OUTSIDE HELP THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO TRANFER THE FUNDS. FOR YOUR HELP MY COMPANY IS READY TO PART WITH 25% OF THE MONEY FOR YOUR HELP.
MR ADAKU OGEIBRI
Dear Aduku,
Your proposal sounds pretty interesting. I want to help out. I have talked it over with Uncle Jesse and Luke and they think it is a very sound idea. Americans generally pride themselves on being knowledgeable about the outside world – but I have never heard of Nigeria. Is that in South America or something? Let me know. Also do they drive cars in South America? I have a really fucking badass car – it is called the general lee, you know after the civil war general – we fought for YOUR INDEPENDENCE. The doors don’t work that well, so I am going to use the money that you will be giving me to fix the doors. I am enclosing a picture of me and Luke – I am the pretty one.
Gotta go – Dale Earnhardt is on!
DEAREST BO
Thank you for being so honest and open in your e.mail. I have seen your picture and you like a man of great honest. I pledge to you my loyalty. Finally, my good friend, I will like you to honest, sincere and confidential until the funds is transferred through the bank to your own bank. Please send your home phone number, and bank account number.
You can call me on my direct number:234-8023536230 anytime of the day for further discussion. I await your response.

MR ADAKU OGEIBRI
DEAREST BO
Many days has passed and I still have not hear from you. Please send $4,000 to kepp the account open from the steel company can you afford that? That is the only way we can proceed on this transaction.
MR ADUKU OGEIBRI
Dear Aduku,
I am sorry that it took so long to get back to you. Africa! Well – Ill be damned. I guess I should say “G’Day Mate – Throw another shrimp on the Barbie!”
Anyways, I have spend the last few days in Jail. It seems that Damn Boss Hog had Sheriff Roscoe and Cletus (with his hound dog Clyde) put a tail on me and Luke. We lost them for a while when we took that jump, but they caught us.
Daisy, my cousin, had to bail us out by doing some “favors” for the local law enforcement or should I say TO the local law enforcement. She is getting to be quite the young looker these days – I have attached a picture of her – She says that she always wanted to go to Africa because they have great skiing.
You know I don’t know why that damn Boss Hog is always busting our balls, but, we are just the good ol’ boys, Never meanin’ no harm, Beats all you’ve ever saw, been in trouble with the law since the day they was born. Makin’ their way, The only way they know how,That’s just a little bit more than the law will allow.
Anyways – I fixed up the General lee with more “turbo power” – NOS. They were having a run on it at the Wal-Mart. Do they have Wal Marts in Africa?
PS are you Jewish?
Your brotha from anotha motha,
Bo Luke
Dearest BO,
I am very sorry to hear about your boss and the recnt Jail. I hope that you are ok and that your family is ok since you have been in the Jail. Ther is not Wal Mart in Nigeria. Your Cousin is a beautiful young lady. I am not Jewish, I am tsetse. It is very important that you send $4000. I will give you the bank name when you are ready. Please call me on my direct number:234-8023536230. I will like to discuss this matter in confidence with you. There are many peoples who are trying to get this money so we must move quickly.
Yours faithfully,
MR ADAKU OGEIBRI
Dear ADUKU,
You read the bible? Well there’s this passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17.
“The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.”
I been sayin’ that shit for years. And if you ever heard it, it meant your ass. I never gave much thought what it meant. I just thought it was some cold-blooded shit to say to a motherfucker before I popped a cap in his ass.
I saw some shit this mornin’ made me think twice. See now I’m thinkin’, maybe it means you’re the evil man. And I’m the righteous man. And Mr. 9 Milimeter here, he’s the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of darkness.
Or it could mean you’re the righteous man and I’m the shepherd and it’s the world that’s evil and selfish. Now I’d like that. But that shit ain’t the truth. The truth is you’re the weak. And I’m the tyranny of evil men. But I’m tryin’, Ringo. I’m tryin’ real hard to be a shepherd.
I think that I need to inform my lawyers about this. They work for Rollins, Imus, MacMahon, Johnson, Ortiz and Baker (collectively known as R.I.M.J.O.B)about my transactions.
PS I think I am starting to develop feelings for Daisy Duke…is that wrong?
I Love you,
Bo Luke
Dear BO,
I read the bible but am very confused by this last email. I don’t know what you mean. Please call me I need to talk to you immediately and do not involve RIMJOB. It is important we keep this a secret. You can calls me anytime my direct number:234-8023536230. Also send the $4000 directly to Western Union office in Lagos Nigeria. Much time has passed and the account will closing soon, my friend.
Yours Faithfully,
MR ADAKU OGEIBRI
Dear Aduku,
Or if that is your “REAL NAME” I think that this is a scam. Uncle Jesse says that he has never heard of “Lagos, Nigeria” I would appreciate it if you used your real name and real countries not “Nigeria”. I think that you are full of shit. Also, I think that you guys “made up” Koala bears – those things aren’t “really bears”. I liked INXS, though.
Gotta go – Daisy is wearing those damn shorts again and I have a woody!
PS in my spare time, I like to build Lego models of Star Wars Episode IV - I have attached a picture of Han Solo and Greedo in the Bar on Tatooine - right before Han wastes Greedo. Is this weird?
YEEEEEHAAAAAAAW!
XOXO
Bo Luke
Dearest BO,
Your must belive me. This is not a scam, my dearest friend. I too love you, we must take this oportuniy when the iron is hot. Nigeria is a country in Africa and I assure you it is a real country – I have a master degree in finance from the univsreity of Lagos.
Please sent the money to Lagos Nigeria in the western Union office to my name and I will take care of things from here. I am a completey trustful person of good faith and read the bible everyday. You must believe me, my brother.
I Love you too.
Yours Faithfully,
MR ADAKU OGEIBRI, M.S.
Dear Aduku,
I just got some really bad news. They are replacing me and luke with some fuckers named Coy and Vance. Can you believe that shit? I don’t know what I am gonna do. I think that Hardees is hiring, though – so there is that option. Someday – I could be manager.
Besides – This was a total joke on You my Nigerian Friend! Thanks for the Laughs, its been real!
Peace out.
Bo and Luke Duke
