Okay, we've all received those stupid emails from a foreign bank official where we're going to get a gazillion dollars if we will help this official get it out of the country. I got one today... the title was "Can I Trust You?"
It's been a slow day here in the forest, so I decided to respond.
Here's my reply:

Here's my reply:
I'll let you know if I get a reply.Can you trust me? Wow. What a honor. I am so thrilled. This money could be the answer to all my problems. And I thank the spirits of the woods for this message. It couldn't have come at a better time.
I'll be glad to send you information about my bank account but you have to promise not to tell anyone else. I think the government is watching me and I don't need any more problems with them at this point in my life.
Having recently been released from prison, I've had to keep a low profile. I want to resume my former style of living, but it's very hard to do so without the benefits I once enjoyed as one of the top importers of select Colombian merchandise for the entire West Coast so this could turn my life around.
Please let me know immediately exactly what I have to do to help you release these funds to me. But be careful. My cat sometimes opens my emails and I suspect he could be an agent for the CIA. So if you get a response from me, look for the code word "DOG." The cat would never think of using that, and you'll know it's a legitimate message.
Sincerely,
...
