Dear Friend,
Difficulties encountered in efforts to establish a business abroad
necessitate this search for someone to assist me in securing and investing
the sum of USD41,000.000 forty one million dollars)inherited from my
father’s business reserve.
I am the heir of a Zimbabwean family; my father was an agriculturist.
He became rich from his old-aged investment in agriculture and later was
victimized by President Robert Mugabe’s land reform policy. He was
assassinated by unknown gunmen for defending his land ownership and siding
the minority white farmers. Before his death, my father foresaw the
insecurity of both our lives and property then decided to deposit the
above sum with a private finance and security firm in Europe. This money
has become the only inherited property of our family since our home was
burnt,and the farmlands and machines seized; yet the government and it’s
loyalists are bent on making life difficult for us.
To summarise this traumatic story, my mother and I have decided to
offer 15% of the above sum to anyone who assists us to secure this funds
overseas or 25% share for possible help on investing in any reliable
venture.
there are however some minimal cost involved in securing the release of
this deposit from the present holding company.i do not intend to
overburden you with these cost.but you must know beforehand that we will be
sharing whatever cost involved in retrieving this deposit and putting it
to beneficial use.
if you would want to proceed under these terms,please reply for
detailed information. if you do not accept my offer,please in good fate treat
with utmost confidentiality . A quick reply with your name,telephone
and fax numbers for more confidential communication will be highly
appreciated.
Sincerely yours,
patkice luco.

Last I checked 41,000.000 is fourty one thousand with three zeros
after the decimal. I guess these people aren’t targeting the
mathematically adept crowd, though.

Yeah, I think that they are more focused on the gullible-people market
sector. 
Next they’ll be saying that they inherited a frooglepoopillion dollars.
For reference on a frooglepoopillion, please see the dilbert cartoons for
June 23 and 28:

Or else, next time they will offer you a recipriversexclusion dollars.
For information on recipriversexclusion, please refer to the Hitchhikers’
Guide to the Galaxy, under the topic of Bistromatics:
Bistromathics is a revolutionary new way of understanding
the behavior of numbers. Just as Einstein observed that time dependeds
on the observer’s movement in space, so it is realized now that numbers
are not absolute, but depend on the observer’s movement in
restaurants.
…
The second nonabsolute number is the given time of arrival, which is
now known to be one of those most bizarre of mathematical concepts, a
recipriversexclusion, a number whose existence can only be defined as
being anything other than itself.
Cheers.

Looks like they switched countries in mid-number.

COBOL 2003 finally introduces “DECIMAL POINT IS ARBITRARY” >;->
For those who don’t know what this is about:
COBOL has a statement to switch the representation of a decimal point
from ‘.’ to ‘,’, namely “DECIMAL POINT IS COMMA”.
I assume that the message was written at a time when fake personality
A was in the process of being replaced by fake personality B and the
switch took place while writing down the amount of money >;->
