419 Scammers go Snail Mail

Today Maria found a surprise in our mailbox: a personally addressed (to me), printed 419 Scam letter from a sucker named Dr. Mike Malangu of the Reserve Bank of South Africa. The bank, needless to say, does not exist (but there is a South African Reserve Bank, which is the central bank of South Africa). The letter has the typical 419 scam content and is written in poor German, full of typos and grammatical errors. The letter was mailed in Amsterdam and contains phone and fax numbers, but no addresses (of course).
Since I don't have the time for scambaiting at the moment, I decided to send the letter to the local authorities. Maybe it helps in getting these a$$h0135 behind jail bars.
Anyway, for your enjoyment, here is the letter. Click for a larger version.
