It’s not often that I get an email addressed to anything other than “Dear Sir/Ma” or “Beneficiary” and the like. But every now and again a scammer will send a message to one of my email personae, and the fun can begin…
I’ve altered the scammer’s last name (the first name was too funny to change); his emails are date-stamped. My comments are in bold.

How are you doing today? I hope all is well with you. My full name is Humble Strata. I am 42 years old and an American citizen. But now I live in Germany where I have been assigned to perform official duties. I sent you an email in the first place because your profile caught my attention. I want to know more about you. I work with a Herbal Company known as GNC Holdings.
I am very glad to have you here as a true friend and partner. I am a Christian. I wish to let you know that our company is in urgent need of a Herbal Extract.
In furtherance to my above statement, I am contacting you regarding our company's urgent need for Hexachromite Herbal Extract GX88. It is a basic raw material used in the manufacturing of high-quality Anti-Viral Vaccines, and it is mainly produced under some pressurized weather conditions.
Our company recently lost the sole supplier of this Hexachromite Herbal Extract GX88to the cold hands of death who even supplied it to our company at a very high price.
Recently I found out that the Hexachromite Herbal Extract GX88is sold by a local dealer at a cheaper price than what we used to buy and I do not wish to let anyone in our company know about this price because of my interest in this business. I want us to do this business together so that at the end of the supply, you and I will share the profit accordingly.
What I request from you now is to act as the supplier of this (Hexachromite Herbal Extract GX88) from your country. With this understanding, I will give you the contact of the CEO of our company, and you have to contact him, tell him that you are the partner to the dead sole supplier of the Hexachromite Herbal Extract GX88, and that you can supply him with a large quantity basis. As soon as he indicates interest in buying, you will let me know, then I will forward you the contact of the local supplier so that you can contact the supplier and get the product and supply it to the CEO, so that at the end of the supply you and I will share the profit equally.
I am sure the benefits from this business opportunity could get us established as partners in true friendship. I am looking forward to working with you.

Dear Humble
A lot of people want to know more about me, but they usually ask for a date; they don't try to get me into doing business, which is something I've never done. And I'm Asatruar, not Christian, and I'm 25, just so you know.
Thanks

I am glad to receive feedback from you as regards the proposal that was sent to you. I hope to elaborate extensively about this so you will understand it is a contract negotiation and I will guide you through the entire process so we can achieve success in this business.
The Hexachromite Herbal Extract GX88 is used in suppressive drug production for HIV. It gives a good analytical result and proves to cure cancer to an extent and helps in the cure of tuberculosis too. The Hexachromite Herbal Extract GX88is a new and rare cold-pressed and pressurized raw material we need for the manufacture of so many life-saving drugs right now. It is a rare herbal mixture from rare organic plants that are nurtured under good environmental conditions to achieve great results after careful preparation.
Our company wants a supplier who will handle the supply of these pressurized raw materials, we need for the manufacture of so many life-saving drugs right now.
The Hexachromite Herbal Extract GX88 will be exported to the United Kingdom where our pharmaceutical company is located. We lost our supplier to this raw material last year and it has hindered production in the company.
I have been able to discover a local dealer who can supply us with this product at a cheaper rate.
****Please, note that you will act as the local seller and will supply to our company at the rate of US$21,000 or less. This will attract the attention of our company's director to buy from you as against the previous rate of US$22,000. The local dealer I discovered is selling at a cheap rate of US$9,000 per drum, which is far cheaper than our previous purchases****
It is not in line with my work contract to handle procurement contracts so I seek your consent to act as the local dealer and help execute this project and hand me a commission at the end of the transaction.
Before I will direct you to the CPO of our company and give you more vital information, we will agree on the commission I will get from you if the contract gets to you and after the supply. I will like to have 20% of the profit made after the deal as my commission in this mutual partnership. If you are okay with that, then I will draft an MOU so we both can append our signatures respectively to stand as legal proof to bind us together in this mutual partnership. As soon as this is done, I will do the needful by advising you accordingly. You will have to send me your full name, contact address, and phone number to enable me to draft the MOU.
In furtherance, I will direct you to the procurement department of our company that handles procurement of products if you agree to give me 20% of the profit made as a commission from every $12,000 made from each barrel/drum purchased by our company.
Kindly indicate your interest upon a return email by providing your full name, contact address, and phone number as requested.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Dear Humble
Woah, hold it there sport! When did I actually agree to do this business? I think you're being way too hasty, and something my brother told me was that you get nowhere being too hasty.
You're expecting me to be able to come into this deal totally cold, amirite? But the big thing here is, I have no idea if there's any supplier of this Hexachromite extract here, or how to find that out. Helvete, I'm a photomodel, not a businesswoman!

Dear Humble
I'm confused. Seriously. You're in Germany, planning to ship this stuff to England, and you've got a dealer in Germany. I'm on the far side of the world, but "I seek your consent to act as the local dealer and help execute this project". How in Freyja's name could I be a local dealer? Seriously?
Thanks

if interested, I will elaborate more on it
I've done similar product supply baits before; let's see far I can take this scammer.
"Hexachromite" isn't the name of the product (I got the name from an episode of Doctor Who).

Cammy was honest about her lack of business savvy, but she might as well not have bothered.

Cammy doesn't like being patronised, and Humble's reply is pretty much "Don't worry your pretty little head about this".
