The Underscore Archives

I just received a 409 scam email in French today... my school french  
got me far enough into it to work out the gist and that got me  
interested enough to translate it.  I have to say, probably one of  
the most interesting 409 scams I've read, so thought I'd share for  
your enjoyment:

[the translation was Google, so I'm sure the wording was better in  
French originally]

Dear Sir / Dame

Firstly, I would like to introduce myself to you, I am Gerald Harvey,  
I am attached to Crown Royal Windsor PLC. In London. I am looking for  
a reliable person who I can trust, someone who is willing and honest  
enough to carry out this transaction with vigilance to the best of  
its abilities. Basically, I normally travel in Malaysia for the  
purchase of a product called RHINOMUNE ® injection. The RHINOMUNE ®  
injection is a vaccine for the healthy horses from the age of 3  
months or more as an aid in preventing respiratory disease caused by  
equine herpes virus type 1 (EHV-1). RHINOMUNE is prepared for a good  
growth of the strain and attenuates (EHV-1) on a cell line equine.  
The RHINOMUNE ® injection contains 10 bottles in a carton. Each vial  
contains 25ml. Indication for RHINOMUNE ® injection is a product  
recommended to be used only for horses.

These products are scarce and in high demand here in Britain, not so  
long ago, he came to exist, it was present in our society by a friend  
of China, Ms Christina Tan a veterinarian in the Netherlands, who  
gave me a sample for testing during my last visit in Holland. At the  
moment, I observed a finding that this product is found specifically  
in North America in Quebec (Canada) or we may buy in large quantities  
to supply at affordable prices in Quebec with a specialist vendor.  
The Crown Royal Windsor PLC. Its mandate is to come to Quebec to buy  
the product RHINOMUNE ® injection, but the problem right now is that  
I need correspondence of a reliable partner, which will remain as the  
distributor.

The actual selling price of the dealer in Quebec is USD $ 2500 and  
the rate is $ 2519 Canadian dollar, while it is sold here in Britain  
at a rate of $ 5700 USD veterinary companies. In the meantime, I do  
not want our direct marketing manager knows the seller specialist  
dealer because the company has estimated buying the product at USD $  
5000 per pack. My appeal to you for assistance, is to get the product  
from the dealer and then resell to our society at the price  
stipulated as indicated above, then the benefits will be shared on  
the basis of 60/40% as a percentage . I am unable to travel for the  
time being after a bad car accident, I do not intend to lose this  
opportunity beneficial because I need to pay my tuition bills from  
the hospital. My accident I was seriously drained. Hoping form a  
partnership with a reliable person could help me provide the product  
to my marketing director. If you are interested, please respond to  
this email address: geraldharvey at myway.com
