I would like to apply for the job of Chief Sneak and Tattle-tale at your company. I believe I have the relevant nosiness, curiousity and contempt for my fellow employees, along with an over-riding ability to toady to management. I also love lauding it over other people that I know their business.

I'm William Colgate II, an Executive Member of the Audit and Compensation Committee of ExxonMobil in London (http://www.exxonmobil.co.uk).
I have a sensitive and private brief from the Senior Executives of this top oil company in need of your partnership to re-profile funds amounting to US$12.2M (Twelve Million Two Hundred Thousand United States Dollars). I will let you have the details but in summary, the fund shall be paid to you through our operating bank where it is presently deposited as soon as the legalization and documentation process is concluded in your name.
This is a legitimate transaction without government interference and you shall be compensated with 20% of the total sum, should you and your company agree to work with us. If you are interested, please reply to palon9@terra.es for further details.
Warm Regards,
William Colgate II
