Man kan skratta gott åt dessa brev, men någonstans måste de ändå vara effektiva, annars skulle de inte fortsätta att komma, både som mail och med vanlig snigelpost. Dumhet och girighet går som bekant ofta hand i hand.
Jag kan trots allt inte låta bli att fascineras av kreativiteten bakom breven, även om de för det mesta går i papperskorgen direkt. Tänk om något av den uppfinningsrikedom som läggs i breven kunde användas för normalt företagande, vad skulle inte då kunna hända!
Fast ett brev har jag faktiskt sparat. Det kom inte från Nigeria utan från Jean-Betrand Aristide, Haitis avsatte president. I brevet förklarade Aristide hur han, efter att ha blivit avsatt som Haitis president, flytt till Sydafrika med en väl tilltagen slant i bagaget. Denna peng ville han nu dela med mig, och det kändes förstås otroligt vänligt. Fast risken fanns förstås att han ville "dela den" med fler än mig så det blev aldrig att jag svarade på brevet. Undrar vad den riktige Aristide tänkte om saken.
