I got the big list of fresh scammers' addies, and sent out the initial ASEMish script message in the vein of "I'm interested. Could you tell me more?"
Waited a day, then sent out the next message in the script:
From: xxxxxx <xxxxxxxx@gmail.com>
Date: Fri, Oct 29, 2010 at 11:37 PM
Subject: I'm interested
To: many many scammers
I've got some cash lying around that can stand to get off its fat ass and do me some work. But not enough. Ain't that always life?
I think I'll go along with this. First, I gotta have some proof that it's real. No offense, but I don't want to sink a few hundos into, say, Islamic-Friendly Bacon. That stung, bad. You and I gotta be sure we're going to get rich, or it's not worth the bother for the either.
Since I gotta trust you, I'm going to put some of my info you may want. No biggie. Just so you can get a better idea of what I am and who I am.

That shit is like poetry. It sings in my ear holes. Need any more info, just ask. I'm not gonna go around describing which way my dick is hanging, but I won't keep it a secret if people have to know this.
Peace, love, and kumquats,
