I was really hoping this was about some 419 variant...

We would like to steal ships worth $x, but to do so we need boats and guns and fake papers, which cost $y. We presume in most cases we will be able to ransom for $x/10 of which you will get $y*10. Please send the money to... and so on.

Best quote: "we've made piracy a community activity."

There are a couple of gems in there. Another is "I am really happy and lucky. I have made $75,000 in only 38 days since I joined the 'company'."
