It A Bank Draft!!!

[Sailor Steve]

Yes, boys and girls, they're at it again. Usually it's just some country that wants you to hold onto their entire GDP for a few weeks. Sometimes it's from a bank and once I even got one from the FBI!

We've all seen them many times and there have been many threads here, but this one is from FEDEX, so how can it be bad? :rotfl2:

Oh, and it's confidential and intended solely for me, so I'd better not tell the police or share it with anyone. Especially not an open internet forum where who knows what kinds of evil people might read it.

I used the wonderful English gaffe in my thread title, "It a bank draft." And it's from mister Clement Harry, which seems a little backward if you ask me.

Altogether a fun way to start the day. :sunny:

[Lord_magerius]

I never knew Fedex was a Nigerian company :o

:har:

I'm tempted to email them on one of my old accounts :D

[SteamWake]

Hey uhhh I'm pretty sure FedEx has their own domain so whats up with the hotmail account.... LOL

Why do these dum asses keep using Nigera?

Is that country a hot bed of 'lost' cash or something? :haha:

[Oberon]

Fedex Lane, eh? :hmmm:

Fedex Lane, eh? :hmmm:
Yeah, that one tickled me too. It seems they use some sort of automatic process and don't read their own stuff.

I'll try to remember to use spell check before I send you any more :oops:

[Platapus]

I am more amazed at the number of people who would actually fall for such an obvious scam as this. :nope:

It not a bank draught, you drunken limey! It a bank draft, which in this context is clearly being used to refer to the preliminary, unedited form of the correspondence. :D

I just remembered one that isn't even on that list!

Bank Draft: When one banks follows in the slipstream of another bank at the racetrack.

[Jimbuna]

Oh that list wasn't meant to be taken as being 'exhaustive'.

The bank drafted its own personnel for military service :yeah:

[TarJak]

I don;t know about a draft, but it is getting windy in here.:O:

[UnderseaLcpl]

18.draft beer.

Jeez, sometimes I get the feeling a simple Dutchman like me speaks better English than you guys:doh:

I mean, it's not as if the average Dutchman would have a lot of problems soliciting for a job in England as we're a nation of undertakers. So when the monkey finally comes out of the hat, you shouldn't be in the war because I always get my sin:D

Ah well, let but sit:shifty:



EDIT: Oh, almost forgot to warn you guys: if anyone tries to lead you around the garden, don't let him eat the cheese off your bread and never ever see it through your fingers!
