I know we're all bored with 419 scam email, but every so often you find one that appears to be the work of a comic genius. Notable in this one I received this morning from Janet Napolitano of "HomeLand securities" are such authentic details as:

  • It's official because the lines are double-spaced.
  • The sublime malapropism "Fraud Monitory Unit", a department presumably concerned with scrutinising financial transactions and issuing dire warnings about dodgy goings-on.
  • The Internet Fraud Complaint Center (IFCC) was formerly known as the Internet Fraud Complaint Center (IFCC). Glad that's been cleared up. It could confuse a stupid person.
  • "HomeLand securities" has a "mandate from US Government to make sure all debts owed to citizens of American which includes Inheritance, Contract, Gambling/Lottery etc are been cleared for the betterment of the current economic status of the nation and its citizens as he has always believed “Our Time for Change has come” because “Change can happen”". And you were disappointed with Obama, weren't you? For shame!
  • "Once again i am so 100% sure of you receiving your payment at no any other cost as we have taking it upon our duty to monitor everything in other to cub cyber crime that is perpetrated by those impostors." Go Janet Napolitan@!
