Unfortunately, after that last e-mail....nothing! I was really gettin excited to mess around with that guy, but then he didn't respond!
However, if you want a laugh or two, search the net for Nigerian Scam Email, or 419 emails or whatever. There is some funny stuff. I remember this one guy who got the Nigerian to actually hold a sign that said "I TAKE IT IN THE ARSE" as proof that he was a real person.

First time out of the vault
I got that email too welsh--and it's not the first one

Apparently, some guy managed to scam the Nigerian scammer out of $41.50. A true story, and a hilarious one on top of that. Notice how Mr. Scammer's grammar and vocabulary declined dramatically after the first e-mail.
Here's a picture of the scammer, maybe the same one that tried to scam Welshie:
