Heh. And similar to posted letters originating out of, mostly, Nigeria
a few years ago. I'm not trying to pick on Nigeria at all, that just
happens to be where the ones I saw (and personally received) came
from.
They also try to get you to send business letterhead with the account
details then use that as a means of trying to convince a bank that
they are you.
If someone is ever conned by such an absurdity it's hard to feel too
sorry for them...
