You know those scam emails you get from Nigeria, or some other part of Africa telling you that you've been hand picked to assist in the transfer of $30,000,000 or so out of the country - with the promise of millions in reward for your efforts if you are prepared to fork out a little cash to help get the job done?
I received one yesterday and was bored enough at the time to decide to run with it and see what happens.

Hello Mr Hammad,
Thankyou for your email.
I must say that I am very surprised that His Excellency Mr Mubarak has
selected me to be entrusted with his huge sums of money as I don't think
we've ever met before (I am also not very good with money and figures - or
so my wife keeps telling me).
Nevertheless I am honoured to have been considered a worthy confidant in
this time of great urgency and with so much at stake. I will do whatever I
can to help.
As to confidentiality, I hope you don't mind if I share this information
with a very select few friends (definitely not my wife though). Otherwise
nobody will know of our dealings.
I await your further instructions.
Best regards
Leanard Dunderhead (L.D.)
