Sure Griff, send me your bank details and I'll wire it straight over.

Poor lady, it seems she's suffering from amnesia too. Why else would she send you an email like that?

Funnily enough, my wife received an email stating that the sender was managing a bequest and needed some personal verification details. We were, naturally, suspicious and our first instinct was to bin it. However, we researched the sender and found that they were legitimately in the business of finding beneficiaries (for a cut, of course) and she got paid out.
.... about 90 quid if memory serves!

ROCHESTER, MN—Bacon, long believed to contribute to heart disease and obesity, possesses significant health benefits, according to a study released Monday by Dr. Albert Gruber, the best scientist ever. "My research has found that three strips of crispy, mouthwatering bacon every morning can actually reduce cholesterol and help slow the aging process," the awesome Gruber said. "What's more, the bacon's positive effects are enhanced when combined with milk shakes and/or marijuana." In 1997, Gruber, a Mayo Clinic cardiologist, was awarded nine Nobel Prizes in Medicine for discovering that frequent oral sex with models cures cancer
Shame it's a parody

Americans love British villains because they like the idea of sophisticated villains.
To the American ear a British accent sounds very sophisticated.
Trust me, it is a compliment.
Some dope with a southern drawl saying, "But I gots the nucklar device mister bond" wouldn't sell tickets.
You cannot have a bad guy who sounds as if he'd trade his death beam laser for a pair of tickets to a mud wrestling competition.
I don't know how many times I'm going to have to explain American to the British folks.
Sheesh.

The worst bit of it is very few people in the UK speak with the cut glass accent that is associate with it, I have a cousin in Devon when he speak you start looking for the subtitle option as he is hard to understand!  Also at the moment we have Jaguar adverts that basically say the same thing.

So you're complaining about a stereotype that paints your people as well spoken and intelligent?
You've just confirmed nearly every British stereotype that we have over here.

 I point the honorable gentleman to the posts of Mr Vilmos. The UK is not that refined if in doubt you're more than welcome to accompany myself and a group of associates to a night in Bristol (Curry, Lager, Booze(?)and passing out, no fighting we are the refined ones)...

I did say the intelligent and refined stuff was a stereotype, did I not?

I think that you're missing the point: It's not just the "BBC" accent, it's any English accent. I'm hardly yer well spoken toff, but I once had a woman in a coffee shop ask me to place her order for her because "just loved my accent". My son quickly learned that picking up the Canadian drawl was a bird-pulling faux pas.
My wife's office colleagues used to crowd at her door when she was berating a supplier or delinquent customer because they couldn't get over hearing a Brit swear. She has a devastating technique for Canadians, she speaks quietly, exactly and forcibly only dropping a rare F bomb at exactly the right moment to convey menace.
I know I'm speaking of Canada, but I understand that the natives south of the border have it nearly as bad.

Ah yes, from my dealings with your friends over the boarder speak slowly, quietly and you can get them to agree to anything. It's just the BBC accent is an oddity, anyone in films or TV shows with it gets to be either a villain or Sherlock Holmes...
