So I get an email today. I was expecting the typical Nigerian letter scam but I found this to be way more funny (yes, I have a weird sense of humour). I just copied and pasted it below.

So here's the deal.
First of all, I'm not a company looking to rip you off...
About a year ago, I was living in the Pittsburgh area...
As an artist, I had access to a number of young models 18-25.
Some of them had been involved in the adult industry.
At 27, I was living every 18 year old boys fantasy, surrounded by
nude models, all the perks, benefits.
But, as an artist, no money.
Working a regular job just wasn't cutting it.
So I started to look into the web.
I figured if I started a site, I could reach a larger audience.
I learned quickly, that starting an adult site, with all original
content would be very expensive.
Any way...
a bad room mate situation later, I was living in the middle of
nowhere, in a small hick town in Pa.
No good paying jobs...
you get the idea.
Then , through a friend, I met a web designer who was laid off due
to cutbacks.
He's looking for freelance work to build a better portfolio.
So I have an opertunity.
I know how to get the girls...
I have access to a great designer, down on his luck...
But, I need the start up capitol.
I'm looking for an investor who would be willing to put out $7,000
for 50% of the profits.
I'll do all the work, I'll be completely responsible.
You'll have no liability, and your name will not be attached to the
adult industry.
A little about me..
after high school, I was trained as an intelligence speciallist in
the navy.
I'm an artist, and have extensive experience Photographing nude, and
erotic poses.
I've done portfolios for dancers(strippers).
I've worked mainly in sales.
So for your investment, you'd recieve...
A partner who is driven, intelligent, 28 years old, who is able to
get the kind of girls we need, to compete with top level sites.
A partner with photography, portfolio, and layout experience.
50% of all profits from this project.
Complete anonymity.
Plus, if at any point after the first year, you decide this isn't
for you...
You can pull out of the investment, and I will repay you...
your original investment plus an agreed upon level of interest.
I'm not a company trying to rip you off.
I'm just looking to get into a business, that is known for being
lucrative...
The $7,000 covers the site development, the advertising, and
placement on search engines, and some equipment.
I'm looking for an investor on-line, because, most people who want
to get into this, either can't afford to invest, or don't want their
name attached to the adult industry.
Please only respond if you are a serious investor.
