WOW!!!! I'm Set For Life!!!!

And all these years I've been working for a living. What a maroon.

Lucky me that I found these in my junk folder, eh?

Wow, they're certainly getting lazier nowadays. It always used to be impressive stories about princes, or deceased government officials.

But then, as someone cleverly said, the fact that these emails are so stupid is simply these scam artists testing how stupid you are. If you're dumb enough to respond to an email like that, you are definitely dumb enough to be scammed into oblivion.

Or you are just having a slow day and decided to get the time going by wasting the time of some scammer.

I can't believe microsoft would mark that as junk!

Perhaps I should have rephrased "If you're dumb enough to believe this and respond to it"

which reminds me that i once got an email from Nelson Mandela... yes the former president of Africa who claimed to still be the President of Africa...

i did not know he had my personal email. I told him i would only consider his gift if it was sent via paypal gift and i have yet to hear a response.

What a tipoff! Africa isn't a country and doesn't have a presidency.
