We all know of the scams out of Nigeria... some prince needs to escape the country and needs our help to get his money out... well here is the latest one I have recieved ..... shame on these people. 
Mordor Scam
Dear Sir,
I am an Uruk of Mordor, charged with the discovery of a number of valuable treasures within Moria. It has come to my notice that the mithril hoard previously owned by Ori of the land of Moria has been found by one of our cave-trolls. Under our laws, the hoard will be shared between our lord Sauron and the local Balrog, but so far neither knows the extent of the treasure.
Sir, I come to you as a respectful businessperson in order that we may derive some profit ourselves from this venture, I would wish that I could arrange for the transfer of half of the find to yourself, costing roughly 20,000 silver pennies. From this amount, I will then arrange for a further such that 25% remains your own, 5% goes for sundry costs (including hire of strong Rohan horses for use in transportation), 5% is given in bribe to the cave troll to ensure the quantity reported to our respective Lords is adjusted,
65% belongs to myself and my fellow Orcs.
In order that this be accomplished, I ask only thatyou provide details of:
Your willingness to participate in this venture,
Confirmation that you will not speak of this venture to anyone else, or wear any magic rings,
Your race and land of residence,
The location of your local Palantir or identity of your preferred message-carrying bird or beast,
Your given name, and any name you are known by in the Western lands,
The number of ponies you possess.
I look forward to your returning correspondence, which can be whispered to any passing magpie. I trust that you will ensure that no other dark feathered birds come to hear of this transaction.
