I'm guessing no.
I am impressed by the level of metafiction displayed, though. To try and scam victims of previous scams by offering fake reparations takes quantities of balls measurable only in astronomical terms. This does not, however, get them a pardon when I am appointed god and line all spammers up against the wall.

At this point, any email that has the words "Nigeria" and "bank" in it will trigger every spam filter that's been updated since at least 2003.
Entertaining, nonetheless.
Is this what Kofi's career has come to?
P.S. That last line made me lol. =)
I think that this email will become my new definition of "Chutzpah".
