Hey, listen. I got this really good deal for you. I have a little land, or rather my brother has a little land, up in the Yukon. Now, don't get all bent out of shape, 'cause this land is right outside Whitehorse! Yes! Road, river, air, and rail transportation just outside the city limits! There may even be a fortune in gold on the land!

It's been in the family for years, ever since the 1950s. And I can let you have it at a really good price, because my brother is sick and/or out of office and has to let this land go to pay his doctor bills and/or bail, whichever applies.

You're saying, "This must be a scam because it sounds so darned good!" Well, it's not. In fact, if you will contact Sergeant Preston of the RCMP he'll vouch for it since we orginally got the land from him.

All I'll need from you is a deposit in the form cashier's check for US $15,000, your bank name, identification numbers, and bank account number. The deposit is to hold the deal open for you and the rest is to show your good faith.

I'm offering you this chance because God revealed your name to me on the Internet as a decent, honourable person who knows a good deal when he or she sees one.
