I don't know how often other baiters receive scripts involving trunkboxes of cash belonging to "little refugee boys" (who could be anything from 12 to 35 years old!) but such scripts are commonplace for me...
The scammer's name has been changed; his emails are date-stamped. My comments are in bold. Emphases are in the original.

And now we see the arrogance inherent in the scammer.

Attn: Malcolm Reynolds,
The email that we sent to you, if you read carefully, it is self explanatory and everything is written in details, the origine of the fund and how the fund was accrued to the tune of that amount, so for you to be asking why a cash box is to be sent to you is an avoidable question which ought not to be asked as the answer is there in our previous email.
What you should be letting us know now is your interest in receiving your fund or your non-interest in the fund.
Note: Every expenses in delivery of it to you has to be taken care of by you and we thought this is an information which is not contained in our previous email to you, thanks for your understanding and we hope to hear from you as per-your decision on this.

Mal's reply includes a reference to the Ghanaian finance minister. This is just in case I bring in a modality derived from a scammer's attempt to extort money for documents proving that Mal wasn't trying to illegally adopt African orphans to steal their money.
Mr Bondu
Don't be so gorram smug; I read your email carefully, just as I read everything. However - leaving aside your minister of finance and his crowd, let's move on to matters of moment.
The question is; why would a refugee give me millions in cash? That'll do for a start.

Attn: Malcolm Reynolds,
Your email is well received and the little we can pick out of it, first of all, i don't really know who you communicating with as Ghana finance minister because if you communicating with Ken Ofori-Atta, i don't think you will be talking about him the way you doing now, so get the fact of whom you talking with.
Then to the matter of the moment which has to do with your question of why would a refugee want to give you millions of cash, i think that question will be best answered by the refugee who assigned you as his foreign beneficiary.
But what i know is that refugees always seek for foreign beneficiaries abroad to receive their funds and help them invest it and after which they can travel abroad for them to come off age to be able handle their investment, it is a trend which is very purpolar in this part of the world(Africa) but unfortunately some of these refugees past on(died) before their plan is being executed or carried out, then the foreign beneficiary who has already been listed as the next of Kin becomes the sole beneficiary of the fund just like your case.

If you knew all the details about what your minister and his lackeys tried to do, you wouldn't be so blase about what happened. But it's over to what you said.
"why would a refugee want to give you millions of cash, i think that question will be best answered by the refugee who assigned you as his foreign beneficiary" - Good, let's hear from him.
"refugees always seek for foreign beneficiaries abroad to receive their funds" - How many refugees have millions of dollars? You're talking like every one of them is cashed up.
"help them invest it" - I don't invest; never have. I'm a retired US Marine, and investment ain't in my MOS.
"unfortunately some of these refugees past on(died) before their plan is being executed or carried out" - Hang on, so is this one alive or dead? Clarify please.

Attn: Malcolm Reynolds,
Your email is well received and understood and sorry to say that each and every email we sent to you is self explanatory but we seem not to understand what you really want to acheive with all these questions that the email already gave answer to.
This is a part of our previous email sent to you which answered to the avoidable question that you just asked {some of these refugees past on(died) before their plan is being executed or carried out, then the foreign beneficiary who has already been listed as the next of Kin becomes the sole beneficiary of the fund just like your case.
What we think is neccessary now is for you just to state your interest or non-interest of the fund, so we can know what exactly to do.
We never said everyone of the refugees has inheritance or fund to seek for help or appoint a foreign beneficiary and we don't see how this is off importance to the issue on ground.
Please sir, with all due respect just make your decision known to us, thank you for your understanding.

Your arrogance is truly baffling. If your emails were self-explanatory, I wouldn't be asking questions; I don't do that for shits and giggles. I say what's important and you take it seriously; you don't wave it away.
First order of business; explain about this dead refugee - name, origins, how he or she died, and the source of the money. I would prefer that you display some humility in your answer.

I got your answer and what I see is that you're running scared of questions. You wanted me to accept the money just so you could set me up as the patsy in a money laundering scheme - that's a lot more plausible than your half-assed bafflegab about a nameless dead refugee from Nowhere Land.

There was an attached "UNHCR REFUGEE'S CAMP" ID card for one Stanley Abby.

Attn: Malcolm Reynolds,
Your email is well received but it is unfortunate that you have to request for humility when been responded to but could not do that yourself in your own respond, is it responsible to use words as "ass", i thought you presume to be in a more civilized society/country, it's really unfortunate for a man of your status.
I don't really know where we mentioned to you that we are an orphanage home, a refugee camp or an hospital because with common sense, you should have known that those places are where you can find those answer of yours.
We stated in our previous email as the fund being an inheritance of the little boy, how the boy died or what killed him should be question for those responsible for his well being and what killed him is for hospital to determine.
If you are not ready to proceed or follow instruction which we think is in our jurisdiction, then ignore the message, it is as simple as that.
His ID card speak for it's self.

If the word "ass" makes you cringe, then be thankful that I didn't use some of the other words that came to mind when I read your last reply. I'm a retired US Marine, and eighteen years of service makes me less than tolerant of those who take the easy option.
Consider this; "I don't really know where we mentioned to you that we are an orphanage home, a refugee camp or an hospital because with common sense, you should have known that those places are where you can find those answer of yours" - and you know what? I'm not there. I can't got to those places and ask questions. You are. You can.
