I am greenfrog and
I am delighted that you want to rent from me for some weeks or maybe many weeks, I mean for some time. Please send me five times the stated price now as I would like to buy another property in my area and that will be ok by me.

Hello greenfrog. Am Daisy.
Me and my family are wondering how you are renting this romantic montmartre apartment. Just wondering if your really fully booked on 21st September I mean 21st and 22nd well I'm referring to the third weekend in September as my husband is playing a gig on 21st and we need somewhere to crash afterwards. I will be very glad to send you the money for the monthly rental then you can send me back cheque for balance before I clean out you bank account
(Actually Greeny, the above is true - I really do need somewhere to stay on the night of the 21st as my OH is playing that night in the reservoir club. Are you really booked then? If so, can you recommend a good, cheap hotel? thanx!)

Yep, I believe it was the same wording - EXACTLY! I'm not sure I took this one very far. I HAVE been known to "mess" with these guys when I'm bored and have the time. BTW, if you are having a bad day with Nigerian scams, check this site out: http://www.ebolamonkeyman.com/
I'm pretty sure this guy is my hero!

I will like to send you a cheque. Well it is for too much money. But that is OK. We do not care what your gite, that is being a vacation rental, looks like. I will like to correspond by e-mail only. my wife Margaret (this is my wife she is 41 and 8 months with baby) and me is both geophysicists in jungles in Philipines. Well we have no access to phone, that is we have no phone in the tent, meaning there is no phone well. Amazingly we have a T1 Internet connection. We, being me and my wife (who is margaret), will like to pay for a full 2 years now with check. We hope that this is acceptable. I will like to send this money today. God Bless!

(I saw a website that has a Nigerian Scam form letter, where you can just fill in the blanks - can't remember the site, but it sure would be easier than trying think this stuff up! I'm with you, greenfrog - I'm frazzled after writing this!
