To My Creditors
Posted by Harry Haller |
Gentlemen:
Good news! I’ve just this day received email from the Nigerian Senate informing me that I have been chosen along with six others to receive a $500,000 stipend from the Nigerian government. This mystifies me, because I never contacted the Nigerian government concerning a writer’s grant, and I am further puzzled by the Brazilian origin of the email (who knew Brazil and Nigeria were so closely affiliated?), but I am never one to look a gift horse in the mouth.
As soon as I email them my banking information, they will deposit the sum in my account. It now appears I will be able to repay you sooner than expected.
So if you could hold off a few more days before repossessing my personal items, I’d be eternally grateful and you’d get the funds you rightly deserve.
Oh happy day!
Me too! How can it be? Two out of six from the same family! I’m planning my spending spree now. Gotta love the Nigerians.
I have a friend from Kenya. He says not to trust Nigerians. So be careful.
