I was so excited I couldn't believe it....here's my reply:


Wow, that's unbelievable. I'm really excited about this. How much is 1,000,000 pounds in US dollars? You have no idea how happy this makes me, I'm really struggling with cash right now. Just in the last 3 weeks I've had so much happen that I'm almost completely broke. Here's a list of my recent troubles.

Muffler bearings went out on my car, making it undriveable and keeping me from getting to work at my job at the kitten farm. Now my friend Carl is having to deal with over 300 baby kittens every day without my help, I'm not sure how long he can take it. If I can get those bearings fixed, I'll be able to go back to work.

My son is attending college studying to be a Master Lawn Mower....he only has to get thru a couple more classes to graduate, but I can't afford to pay him. If he can't pass Riding Mower 501 he won't graduate and he can't mow enough lawns with just a push mower to pay his bills. He'll likely be living with me forever.

...last, but the most expensive problem is that we just found out that my house is being condemmed because the inspector found out that there is a group of unruly squirrels living in my crawl space...they're estimating there are over 1000 of them down there. They've been eating away at the foundation for what looks like well over 3 or 4 years. One side of the house is already sitting directly on the ground, resulting in our living room floor tilting at a 30% angle. My wife is in a wheelchair, you can imagine the trouble she has with that room.....almost impossible for her to get to the kitchen and just as much trouble going to the bedroom. She's worn out 3 sets of the little brake lever things as she slides across the room. There are also 3 or 4 holes in the wall from when she couldn't get stopped in time. The inspector says it's going to be better just to start over.

I checked with my attorney today. He says I need to give you my social security number before you can send me the money so you can report it to the tax people. Otherwise I could get in big trouble. If you can verify that I've really won, I'll send you my social security number right away.

Thanks

How ironic! Price Ali from the Rupublic of Zimbabwe just emailed me and told me he would split his fortune with me if I gave him my US Bank info. Talk about a lucky day for the Ohio Chatters!

Hahaha!

I remember messing with a Nigerian scammer once. This one was portraying a sweet, elderly, god-loving woman who needed me to move her late husband's cash (for a percent of it) for some reason or another.

So I posed as a pastor at a school for unruly girls and amused myself by sending emails loaded with not-so-subtle hints that I was boning all the girls to absolve them of their sins. Good times!

Chain letters need banned!

On a side note, I responded to one last year that was real.

I ended up with 47.00 after all of the bs.
