Not via email, but via messenger. I'll have to post the conversation I had with him. It was so funny, I kept him going for ages.

I'll show you later.

Ooh! I'd love to see that!
I nearly posted a screenshot but decided against it
wish I'd replied though - if it's safe to...

This is from a while ago and I never finished the emails sadly, but I did get a few laughs out of it, so bare with me.

Spoiler

I got this random *** email from this guy. Now, I don't have the photograph of him (Outlook has long since banned him and I am guessing that removed his photo???) but it was literally a random old French guy, in the most ridiculous pose. He also sent a photo of "his" dead wife, too.

Now, naturally I didn't want to let this opportunity pass, so I sent an email in Finnish. My lady is Finnish, and I figured "Why not pretend to be Finnish?" With a name like Kodak on my email, I took the chance.

Spoiler

If you translate that, you get something like this...

I naturally pretended to be religious. His email was religious as hell, and he was preaching to the good lords name. So, I went along with this, with my real name: POMPADOUR!

Anyway, did he reply? Sadly no. But I was waiting, and I was hoping for my dear friend Marcel Doire to praise Vishnu and have some Allah funtimes with Jesus for me.

From some random dead Robert's lawyer who wanted to know my bank account details because Robert was my long lost uncle and I was his only living heir and we apparently had the same surname :colonhash:

.
I asked my grandma if she had an affair in the past... she killed me :h:

.
The lawyer's name was Adrian Nurse and he was actually a legit lawyer :rofl:

.. I mean someone probably stole the real guy's name but he was on Linkedin and he wanted to give 17M USD.

Another from Ms Ayesha Gaddafi who wanted me to help her setup a business or something because she wasn't allowed.. that one gave me TSR vibes :cool:

Okay I promised I'd show you the one I got on messenger.

This is, to date, still one of the greatest conversations I have EVER had.

I hope you're sitting comfortably because it's long:
