Greetings --  This may strike all of you as insane, but I actually
want to receive those Nigerian scam letters that everyone deletes
without reading!  These are the ones from "Barrister Obi" and
"Prince Woma" and "Doctor Mobuto" that involve tens of millions of
dollars and I will get to keep 30% if I will simply pose as some
non-existent dead guy's next-of-kin, etc.

I have begun to correspond with these scammers (using an assumed
"nom d'email") and it's a great source of entertainment.  Please
forward them to me -- like fish, they're best when fresh -- at
mjryanjd@execpc.com.geentroep (dropping the ".geentroep", please).
In responding to a scammer, I promise I will scrupulously delete
any reference to the person who forwarded the email to me.

I realize that I may soon beg all of you to stop sending me these,
but for now I'm in a collecting mood and mode.

Regards,
Mike Ryan
