I'm remioned of the story of the man who encountered a panhandler on a street corner:
"Could you spare a million bucks for a cup of coffee? he asked.
"Are you out of your mind? Nobody will give you a million bucks!"
"All I need is one," was the reply...

Tell her you are glad she contacted you and, as she is a princess, she can probably help you transfer the $2 billion that you recently inherited when your uncle, a former US senator, passed away. Ask her to supply all her bank details so you can transfer the money.

You have to quote someone so we know who you are talking to or about or answering.

Yeah, I get those all the time. I send them all my banking info, credit card numbers and anything else they need. Just kidding. They mostly show up in my scam, I mean spam. Delete.

The FBI has an entire office devoted to dealing with various scams like this, which mainly originate from Nigeria. According to some studies, about a third of Nigeria's GNP is derived from running scams like this.
The best advice on dealing with spam solicitations is to delete them. Getting in contact with the scammers, even to try to make fools of them, leads to more problems including in some cases physical threats.

A friend of mine runs a mail receiving service similar to Mailboxes Etc. The shop also does a lot of business with Western Union, whose services are scammer-friendly. In fact, a request for money to be sent Western Union is almost a certain tipoff that a scam is involved.
He REGULARLY has people coming in to send money to the scam artists. He catches most of the cons and convinces the victims not to send money. But some of the victims...most are very unsophisticated...are convinced it's a legit opportunity and insist on sending the Western Union Moneygram anyhow.
So yes, these scam offers sometimes work. And sadly, they usually work on the unsophisticated people who can least spare the money from such gyps.

Now I wonder if that is the reason that I keep getting all these wonderful letters. As soon as the money from them starts coming in, I should be a millionaire many times over. I can hardly wait.. Could it be that I have been duped?

Whatever you do, don't meet with the guys who offer the deal. Especially in Nigeria. You could wind up dead.

I think I'll invest my millions in lottery tickets rather than sending them off to some princess. I know I'm going to win that lottery any day now.
