My reply:

"Dear Laura (if that is your real name - I doubt it, since you mis-spell it in the final line of your e-mail)

Ordinarily I would delete shite like this from my e-mail account without reading it, but it is Sunday and I have nothing better to do than fire vitriol at some slack jawed fucktard who is spamming me. So let me point out a few things to you:

1. I don't reply immediately to anyone. Not even friends and family. So it is highly unlikely I would respond to someone so simple mentally that they cannot spell their own name.

2. I don't open attachments from people I do not know. Particularly those who are offering me money.

3. Re: me sending you my private phone number: ha ha ha ha ha. And the idea that I would have a fax number is even more fucking stupid.

4. It is a shame that the money is not from drugs or terrorism. That might make your turgid and frustratingly badly written e-mail a tiny bit interesting.

5. As for being confidential, well, I think that may have gone out the window. I have posted your e-mail on my blog, along with my reply. Thought it might amuse one of my seven readers. As an act of mercy, I have not put your e-mail addresses on there. Rest assured, if you send me this sort of crap again, I will not only publish them on my blog but also write them on the wall of the gents in a couple of dodgy pubs I know, with a suggestion that you like a good time in return for money.

In summary, fuck the fuck off.

Worst regards,
The Nameless Tory (and no, that is not my real name)"

Puerile, pathetic and immature I know. But she/he/it brought it on themselves.
