Emails: A Sample of Some of the Piss Takers!

Thought you might like some of the bullshit emails we get from time to time. I've mentioned some of the various forms before but here's an un-edited example:


Hello,

  I will like to make a reservation for my guest coming to your country on the below dates and i want you to confirm the availability and fares to me  .

Check In :AUGUST 20th 2011
Check Out:AUGUST 25th 2011

Room Needed:3
Guest Coming:3

Kindly get back to me with the total cost for their stay so i can arrange the payment immediately,also let me know if you do accept payment by credit card.Visa or Master Card.I will also want you to help me charge $USD 5000 = 151,699.39 THB  to my credit card for the company's travel agent who will issue my  clients air flight ticket to your hotel.The   $USD 5000 = 151,699.39 THB  that will be sent to the agent is for the ticket fare for my clients which will be deducted from my credit card. Also, I'm compensating you with the sum of $USD: 500  = 15,169.99 THB  for your efforts as compensation. I want you to help me transfer the funds to him after you have made the charges from my credit card and confirmed it in your account. You can now make the transfer to the agent via Western union . So the total amount you will be charging to my credit card is as below.

ACCOMMODATION TOTAL $USD:  ???
YOUR COMMISSION:    $USD: 500  = 15,169.99 THB
AIR TICKET TOTAL:    $USD 5000 = 151,699.39 THB
TOTALS TO CHARGE IN $USD: ???

Please do get back to me with accommodation totals and advice if you are in the office right now so that I can forward my credit card details for you to charge immediately, then you can charge full amount and transfer the agent funds to him via western union.

Thanks
