Dear friend.

I am princess Leia Organa, the only survivor of the royal family of Alderan. I am moved to write you this letter. This was in confidence considering my present circumstance and situation.

I was falsely imprisoned upon the imperial battle station ("death star")
when my planet was hideously destroyed and ended by the very bad Sith
Lord Vader. I escaped along with the aid of brave rebels and wookies,
and am now I am lying low due to the situation in the 4th moon of Yavin
till when things gets better. I have control here of the sum of $25,
million in imperial credits deposited with a security company for
safekeeping on Tatooine. The funds were shipped by a courier service as
diplomatic items of high values to prevent them from knowing the
content. What I want you to do friend is to indicate your interest that
you will assist me by receiving the money on our behalf on Tatooine and
assist in investing this money in any lucrative business like moisture
farms and stock in multi-planetary companies and other safe lucrative
investment in your sector. May I at this point emphasize the high level
of confidentiality, which this business demands, and hope you will not
betray the trust and confidence that I repose in you.

In conclusion, in the event you are interested to assist me I will like
you to contact my lawyer who I have stationed in Mos Eisley to witness
the transaction to it's conclusion you can reach him on his direct line
via mail watto39@aol.com, his name is Watto the Toydarian, I have the
full trust in him. Finally, I have set aside 15% of the total sum of the
funds for your assistance, and 5% for any expenses that shall be
incurred during this transaction. Please be free to discuss with my
lawyer.

I sincerely will appreciate your acknowledgment as soon as possible.

Help us, friend, you are our only hope.

Best regards,
Princess. L. Organa

This is most certainly a scam. Do you have any idea what the current exchange rate from imperial credits to U.S. dollars is? Well, if you don't, let's just say it's horrendous. I'd wait until the dollar goes back up in interplanetary exchange environs. The nerve of these galactic grifters!

Not only that, but the scallywag did not capitalize Wookie -- a clear sign she/he/it is from the Dark Side -- plus she/he/it claims to be building on the planet Okeechobee. You know what they say about protoplasmic entities who build on sand.

Good humor is never a waste of space, or did you mean outer space......... /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

That one is more believable than some of them I get!

With the weak dollar this could be a real opportunity. Wonder if Kubota will accept payment in imperial credits?
