I put my car up for sale, and got an inquiry from someone in Nigeria (at least, that's where the IP is located), so I sent this response:
I suspect you're trying to scam me but what the hell - tell me why you want to buy my car.
This is the response I got:
Hello ,
Thank you for your response. I'm glad to note in your mail that your advert is still available; I am genuinely interested in buying the car from you and also I will like to do business with you on a large scale, I am not living in your country presently, as to enable me come for a personal inspection of the property before paying for it. At this time, I am in Syria now and desperately need to relocate to your country and this is why I desire to buy the property from you.
I am Mrs. Aaminah Abdul-Azeem the wife of Engineer Ammar Abdul-Azeem, a Syrian Industrialist and member of Syrian business men in council Damascus. After the death of my husband, my family is under threat of President Bashar al-Assad for Resolute our support for a true Democratic Government in Syria and that is why they killed my husband. Due to the current President Bashar al-Assad protest in the country many families are running for their lives as soldiers are killing civilians, women and children.
You can find out in this website http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2193950/Syria-Fears-massacre-Syrian-government-dozens-dead-bodies-buried-mass-grves.html
I want to bring to your notice that I have in my possession the sum of 15.7Million Dollars. This is the money me and my husband have saved for our entire life as an Industrialist. I secretly locked up the money in a trunk box and deposited it with the Red Cross here in Damascus. My sincere intention in writing you is to plead with you to kindly accept cash payment for the property. This is because we cannot do any bank transfers from here following the war in Syria. Secondly, keep the balance of the money for me after deducting the cost for your property. Thirdly propose an investment I can do with the money when I come to your country. These are the major issues of concern to me now. I will give you 30% of the money as well as buy the property from you.
I have to take this chance because I have no other alternative but to trust somebody. I am an orphan with no brother or sister so I can not risk my life here to avoid an end to my family lineage. As a woman since my husband is dead, all I have is my two sons. they deserve a decent life since I want them to grow up in a peaceful environment. I will relocate to your country with my family and invest the money in accordance with law, your advice and support will be highly appreciated; we can work together and achieve a better future for our families.
If possible, may I request you to send me your information? Only if you are comfortable with this request. This is purely for the purpose of sending the money to you for the investment. The information needed are: Your full name, your phone number (mobile), your full address.
I anticipate your positive response and on receipt of your information, I will provide you with further details. An acceptance of my offer can change your life and mine too.
Thank you and i wait for your immediate and positive response to enable us proceed.
Yours Sincerely,
Mrs. Aaminah Abdul-Azeem
I haven't decided yet how I'm going to respond. It's essentially down to stringing them alng for the humor, or expressing my contempt for the new-world-order open border paradigm.

Speaking of which, a homophone of this Vodka is a slang term for money in cities like Mumbai, Rokda*[^].

"She" only wants name, phone number and address to send you money - AND buy your car... 
I'd try to give it to her and see what happens! What could that hurt?

In the USA that normally results in the transfer of most of the money to the old one!

I'll tell ya' - considering you never know what's really under-the-burka, check the LGBT laws in your area as to how this will work out.

Quote: we can work together and achieve a better future for our families.
Given her husband is dead and she wants her sons to have a good life, was that a marriage proposal or something?
Only happens on Outlook (or Microsoft email servers). I never got any sheet like this on Gmail or Yahoo!. But a quick Google told me that this lady has been interested in buying many things, Should I contact her?[^], from which I conclude she may have successfully claimed her $15.7 million by now.

Just tell her not to believe anything that she reads in The Daily Mail!

This was a cool one!
If I had a spare $15 million I would also save it apart for nothing else but your very own second hand vehicle!

Well, after way too little consideration, I sent this response:
Before we proceed further, I need you to do something for me. In order to verify that you're a real person, I need you to send me a picture of yourself. The requirements are:
- You are completely naked
- You are holding a calendar showing the current month and year
- You are holding a sign saying "I like bacon."

Thats even better than my idea - arranging to meet 'her' in Vladivastock airport to hand over bank details in person.
Of course I'm not suggesting actually going there - but you are allowed a good chuckle down the phone when said scammer calls to know why you are not at the designated meeting point outside arrivals...

Sounds like she needs to send more info. You love your car dearly, and want to make sure you find the right home for it... Can she handle [500hp]? What does 'business on a large scale' mean? Was the money made legally? If so, what were it's sources? Etc, etc. But one at a time - a bunch of long answers is better than one long answer  The ultimate challenge is to get her to send her dental records, to confirm her good bone structure, thereby her trustworthiness!
