“Hello kind sir”

“My name is Oligario B Sandalazar from the Republic of Ghana”

“I will forward the the required funds immediately upon receipt of a valid bank acct #, phone #, address…..etc”

I always respond to these in my old junk aol acct and try to string these people along. Its fun to respond to them–”I accept your offer…please furnish me with an address to mail the check and your phone #. I also need a pet deposit..Do you have dogs or cats?”
