Wow! That’s twice in one week I am going to be rich!!!!

What are the odds? I mean, first, a prince from Nigeria, and now someone from the Midwest of the United States, both contacting me to give me millions of dollars!!!!!! I am sorry guys, but I must be something very special to have warranted such phenomenal outpouring of human generosity. (Blushing). I will answer this right away, just like I did the last one and supply all the requested information, I am sure the money will be deposited in my bank account any day now.

It really is a humbling experience.... Well, don’t worry, I won’t forget all you little people when I finally collect all my millions of dollars.




My Dear Friend, I don't really know who you are, but I hope that peace is with you as you read this letter. My intuition tells me that I can trust you with my proposition. I received your contact through my email directory and my inner voice suggested that I send this money to you. I am a widow and a devoted Christian. My name is Mrs.Susan Langley, and I live in city of Joplin Mo. Since my husband died, I have been suffering from arthritis. Just this summer, my doctor has diagnosed me with terminal cancer. I have approximately twelve months to live. I am currently confined to a wheelchair, and am being cared for by a nurse. Before my husband died, he left me a large sum of money, to the tune of $5.6m Dollars. He made me promise that it should be used for humanitarian work. We have no children you see, and my husband didn't want his brother to inherit it. This money is currently being held by the bank, awaiting the proper recipient. It is up to me to decide who will gain access to it. If you promise me that you will use this money to achieve the wish of my Husband and I, then I will instruct the bank to release the contents of the vault in your name. If you agree to use the money for humanitarian purposes, I will need the following information from you: Your full name, contact address, occupation, age, and phone number. God bless you as you walk in the light and glory. Please kindly send your response to [email protected]

But... does buying Tumi luggage count as "humanitarian purposes"???

Go on you tube and search fonejacker British Gas, or fonejacker pigeon in bank vault. Fonejacker cousin benson. Plus loads more.

British humour. All spoof phone calls. Might take a moment to get it but they are hilarious.

Seems genuine to me Paul.

Send her your bank details before you miss out.

I legitimately laughed out loud with this. Little does he know it is $5.6 million in Tumi bags and accessories.

Man, you're lucky. The only thing I'm getting now days are phone calls from someone with a strong accent saying the IRS has warrants for me and I should call them ASAP. Maybe you can bail me out with your new found wealth?

You guys are jumping the gun on this. The money isn't for Paul to spend on himself. It has to be used for humanitarian work, and Paul has to promise to use it towards that end. Knowing Paul's high level of integrity and honor, these millions are likely to be more of a burden than a windfall. Not to mention the ordeal of the coming legal battle with Mr. Langley's greedy brother.

Will you buy me a double Red Sea-Dweller when you get the money?

I got an email something like that recently asking for all my personal information.

I deleted it immediately without any further thought.

It's amazing that anyone falls for that anymore.

I remember when I used to get letters like that in the mail.

Inconceivable!
