"Oh, Mr. Mull...You should write back and say:<br /><br />"Oh, Mr. Muller, thank you for calling this matter to my attention. My nephew works in the same office as you, and I just called him to tell him about this wonderful news. As chance would have it, he's working on some sort of case involving Nigeria, and seemed to take a special interest in your e-mail.

I always ask the emailer for theirs first, I'll call them so to speak. and meet somewhere nuetral, not near the state line pal. best one so far was the one wanting to know why I was selling HIS car with HIS pictures?
