Contrary to conventional wisdom, helping people pays big

Malibu, December 26, 2006 (NPS) -- Former Vermont cab driver Enis Pennvey relaxes in his opulent new Malibu home, next to his smashingly beautiful blond actress girlfriend. He talks about his run-in with a so-called "Nigerian Letter," and how it made him the wealthy man he is today.

"They tell you to watch out for these people from Nigeria and Côte d'Ivoire who email you with their sob stories about how they have millions in inherited wealth, and just need a little help getting to it. There's always this little catch, where you need to send them some money, first. And that's where, we are warned, the ripoff takes place. Well, let me tell ya, don't listen to that alarmist bullshit. Just look around at all this stuff I own now!"


Pennvey isn't losing weight on the food
his personal Cordon Bleu chef cooks!

"I sent the poor Nigerian bastard a couple grand to prime the pump. So he was finally able to get his hundred mil out of the bank, and then he sent me ten million of it. Just like that. One thing you can count upon in life is that if you do someone a good turn, something wonderful will happen to you."

Did you change this title or did I just notice it because of my "Dear Friend" PM? Or did you just reuse the image?

New story, just reused the Enis Pennvey "apocalytoes" image. Only afterwards did I think of an excuse for using it again, thus the caption. The "Nigerian Letter" from con-man David77 made me think of the story. I was online at the time he sent it to me, and had the story up within five or ten minutes.
