If you aren't a native English speaker it can be difficult to pick up the obvious tell-tale signs of a West African scammer's work, but they find it very hard to mask the clues.

This mail is a good example, and I won't point out where he's gone wrong in detail, but the phrase above demonstrates what is likely to happen when scammers haven't a clue what they're talking about.
