The Royal House of Treasury

I’ve received some really bad Nigerian 419 scams over the last few years and a few that made me laugh.

Not many have me ROTFL – that’s rolling on the floor laughing for you in the corner with the baboon face and hairy nose.

But this one landed in my inbox this morning and it just made me, well, ROTFL.

Have a read and enjoy:
