Comedy? I thought this was a serious offer. I have dispatched my wife to negotiate with these nice guys from Nigeria and to secure the best price for the golf buggy. I have told her to bend over backwards to help them

As the members seem to be in such a generous mood, I have penned a brief missive which I intend to PM to each and every tv member. Could you cast a brief eye over it and tell me if it's ok, please.

To (name of recipient)

I am sadman and I am the only son of sadman snr (a noted mathematician) and mrs sadman snr. My father died many years ago in a freak slide rule accident, leaving my mother and I penniless. I worked very hard and did quite well and then got divorced. The ex-mrs sadman got custody of the money and I got the university fees.

I am now very happily remarried but could do with a load of money, so would be grateful if you would deposit same in used notes (baht, sterling or dollars only, please) in brown envelopes outside my house.

Thank you,

sadman.

Is that ok? I think it should do the trick.
