Good morning, sir, I hope I find you in fine health. I am writing to you on a matter of the most supreme emergency. As you may have read in the newspapers, the chief scientist Professor Hilary Davros is fleeing for his life from the Kaled dome. He has asked me, Mr Jeremy Nyder, to entreat you on his behalf to assist him in the transfer of significant funds.
As you will have read, his creations the Mark Three Travel Machines have turned against him after he worked so hard to perfect their final mutated form. They believed that they had exterminated him, but luckily he had fitted his electronic chair with a Plot Device to enable him to survive. How I survived is a tale I shall tell you when I meet you in person.
Understandably, my request must be treated with the utmost secrecy. I need you to provide me with your full bank account details immediately. I will then arrange for the transfer of 250 million Skarosian Dollars into the account. Later I will contact you again to collect the money. If you help Professor Davros and myself, you will be entitled to keep 10% of the money.
No doubt you have heard of similar schemes in the past. Let me assure you that this is no scam - I am not African, or anything like that, and as you see I only use capitals where necessary. For these reasons I hope you will trust me.
Please reply stating your full bank account details. Also, Professor Davros is working on a formula for generic viagra and knows of a place where you can see rude pictures of Daleks with their domes off and everything. He has also downloaded the latest Microsoft security patch which I have attached.
Yours,
Mr Jeremy Nyder, assistant to Professor Davros

I don’t know the author of this, but I had a good laugh out of it.
And thankfully, the latest Microsoft security patch wasn’t attached.
