"I hope to hear from you soonest" - why do all Nigerian scammers say that phrase? It must be straight from the "Scammers Handbook"

I like the inventive names they come up with. Robinson Kelly! It's not the worst, but still quite amusing.
I always send them ridiculous replies in equally bad English and usually add a strange request just for fun, "regrettably, I can only accept payments in turtle heads or virgin sweat". They probably never get through to the intended recipeint, but it gives me a warm glow inside.

Never trust a man Who names himself Trevor. Or one day you might find He's not a real drug dealer.

Classic bloody Nigerian scam. "WELL I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT SINCE I AM NOT FINANCIALLY BALANCED RIGHT NOW". No, and you're not mentally balanced either mate! ;D And do these people have no imaginations? It's always the same load of rubbish, always involving a mate/relative of theirs who owes them at least a few grand, as an excuse to complicate things and allow money to get sent back and forth to accounts set up for the scam etc. Also, seeing as he lives in the USA supposedly, why would the amount his cousin borrowed from him amount to an exact amount of British pounds, did his cousin borrow an odd amount of cash with loads of decimals in it that co-incidentally comes out as £4500? ;D These bloody scammers really are as thick as pigsh*t, and they're not terribly creative either. ;D ;D
