The fantasy that the Africans have is sometimes amazing. For instance, they lump the IMF and European Union together in a story which sounds plausible for someone who’s general knowledge is not in top form.

All you hear is IMF and EU and, voilà! The story must be real!

I like the phrase “your inheritance/contract & Winning Prize fund”, which shows the crooks are even lumping together 3 different types of stories they use regularly.
