There are some scripts that I can't be bothered baiting, and loan scripts are usually on that list. But then a script arrived that got my attention, albeit at a bad time.
What followed was very brief... but then something came after that adds something to the bait.
The scammers' emails are date-stamped; their names have been changed. My comments are in bold.

That arrived just a few days after the death of someone I loved, so personalisation notwithstanding, I wasn't in the mood to do much.
Mr Bruno
I'm not the slightest bit interested in your loans. Better still, take my name off your mailing lists.

But maybe not!

The "D.O.A." turned out to be a thirteen-page Deed Of Agreement with procedures, terms and conditions, spaces for supplying personal data and attaching copies of passports and company certificates.
There was even a header that read as follows.
DRAFT TEXT OF BANK GUARANTEE VIA MT760
(SPECIMEN COPY – FINAL VERBIAGE AS PER ISSUING BANK STANDARD FORMAT)
(SPECIMEN COPY – FINAL VERBIAGE AS PER ISSUING BANK STANDARD FORMAT)
"Final verbiage"?
Cambridge dictionary: "VERBIAGE, noun; language that is very complicated and contains a lot of unnecessary words".
This time I replied politely.
Mr Godunov
I have no interest whatsoever in getting a loan from from Jerry Bryno.
I told him to remove my name from his mailing lists and he refused; in fact he sent the same pitch to me again.
My last words to him were "Fuck off and die, asshole". I hope that makes things clear.

If he writes back (which is unlikely), I'll let y'all know.
