Just got a long "dead oil company president with no heirs" spam e-mail, purportedly from Mr. Richard Manjezi and/or Mr. Gerald Nelson, written entirely in German. I wish I spoke German, and then I could tell if their grammar in other languages is as bad as it is in English. Remarkably, the sum in question is very familiar--" $ 27.562.300 $ USD (siebenundzwanzig Millionen, fünfhundertzweiundsechzig tausend und dreihundert)".
Somewhere, Nigerian 419 operators must have had a seminar on coming up with the perfect number to use--something around 27 million dollars seems to be the hot ticket.
