Tanzanian President Benjamin Mkapa adds:

"Who is this quarsan fella of which you speak? There is no knowledge of him amongst the Masai. We are a proud people - only three of us (which says a lot) are assumed members of the MetaFilter "tribe" and they are under strict observation.

Here they are:

They look lost, do they not? At least they're "all in it together"...

Our great nation recognizes only quonsar - even though that renegade bastard hasn't returned our calls in weeks. Although hoarding the tiger nuts we sent, he has yet to respond with the slightest crate of Wild Turkey or packet of Ritz crackers.

Let this be a warning to him; no offense.

Whoah, there, Mr. President..

The Florida Supreme Court has ordered the country of Tanzania to change its name, following a Trademark infringement claim by Tampa-based Tanzania Tanning Salons.
President Benamin Mkapa:

"Any use of my country's name constitutes infringement on the plaintiff's trademark... We've lost our national identity... This is a very sad day for the people once known as Tanzanians."

Sincere greetings to you and your family. I know that You may be
surprised to receive this message from me Since you don't know me in
person but for the purpose Of introduction, I am themba funzani the son
of the late Mr. Harrison funzani who was murdered in a land dispute in
Tanzania. I got your contact through the world trade journal. As I feel,
you should be a reliable and trustworthy person to deal with hence I
have decided to write this to you.

My late father was among the few black Tanzanian farmers murdered
in cold blood by the agent of the ruling government of President Benjamin
Mkapa for his alleged support and Sympathy for Tanzanian opposition
party. Before the death of my father, he took me to South Africa to
deposit a US quarsan with a security and finance company, as if he knew
the looming danger In Tanzania. The quarsan was deposited as Artifact and
valuable personal effects. This quarsan was earmarked for the Purchase of
new machinery and chemicals for the farms and the establishment of new
farms in Lesotho and Swaziland.

After the death of my Dad, I and my Mother fled Tanzania and we are currently
staying in Holland(Amsterdam) as refugees/asylum seekers. The quarsan is
presently in the custody of a security Company here in Holland. We are
unable to lay claims to this quarsan because of our political status as
refugees here in the Netherlands. For this reason, we need a foreigner
who will come forward as the next of kin to my father and lay claims to
this quarsan. We shall need you to come to Holland to lay claims to this
quarsan to enable this quarsan to be transferred into your nominated
account. We have all the modalities to see that this quarsan is
transferred to you within the shortest possible time as soon as you
agree to assist us in this transaction. I must let you know that this
business is 100% risk Free, timely and the nature of your business does
not Necessarily matter. So if you are willing to assist us, I and my
mother have agreed to give you 25% of the Total quarsan, while 70% will be
for us which we shall also invest in your Country with your advice and
the remaining 5% will be mapped out for any incidental expenses which we
may incur during the transaction.

Therefore, if you are willing and interested to render the needed
assistance, endeavor to reply through this my Email Address. Remember
that this is highly confidential and the Success of this business
depends on how secret it is Kept. Please where you are not interested,
do not discuss this matter with anybody. I shall bring you into a more
detailed picture of this transaction when you reply me.

Best Regards,
themba funzani.

quarsan is OBVIOUSLY not quonsar! Here is a little tale of a quonsar - and what one is truly capable of : "The quonsar sat quietly in a strong bamboo cage and gnawed on a bone. Next to the cage a merchant was watching the crowd and the gentleman asked him if the quonsar was for sale.

`Of course,' the merchant said. "Otherwise I wouldn't be here. This is an excellent quonsar, strong, diligent and able to do anything you want him to do. He knows how to do carpentry, he is a good gardener, he can cook, mend clothes, read you stories, chop wood, and what he doesn't know he can learn. And I don't ask much for him, if you give me 50,000 yen (50 pounds) he is yours."

The gentlemen didn't haggle and paid in cash. He wanted to take the quonsar home at once.

`One moment,' the merchant said. `Because you haven't bargained with me I want to tell you something. Look here, he is a quonsar of course, and quonsars are no good, you know that don't you?'

`And you said he was an excellent quonsar.' The gentleman said indignantly.

`Sure, sure,' the merchant said, `And that's true as well. He is an excellent quonsar, but he is not good. He will always remain a quonsar....." [ click on link above for the rest of this bone-chilling tale ]
