Dear faux-Trevor,
Thank you for your email and for reaching out to me in your time of need.
I'd be glad to loan you the funds.
Unfortunately it maybe a few days as I'm waiting to receive a commission for
my help in assisting a former Nigerian bank employee transfer some money out
of the country. He assures me the money will arrive at any time.

p.s. 3550 pounds of silver seems awfully heavy. If I remember my metric
conversions that is nearly 2 tons. Is Two-tons common or is there a lighter
form of currency I could send?
P.p.s. - sent very tongue in cheek. This is a very common scam. I think this
actually came up on the digest in the past. Has the digest lapped itself?
