I'm about to inherit a lot of money, any one looking for a friend?

[completerookie]

I've just received an email, quoted verbatim for other readers
- do you think I'm about to be rich beyond my dreams, having said that, the euro is going down in value recently, perhaps its not worth replying - pay particular atttention to the word in red, What sort of problem do you think the solicitor has??

whats more interesting, is that the sender is listed as "GLEDHILL Mark [Three Springs Primary School] [Mark.Gledhill@det.wa.edu.au]" - looks like a bit of education in grammar and spelling is required here

So that's how you contact the dead - by email.

"diseased Solicitor" ... he's not dead.. he's got Chicken Pox. With all the money they scam you would think they could afford an Oxford English Dictionary.

Its a shame they forgot to actually put the email address at the bollom of the letter, I for one would definately be interested in getting something from a diseased Solicitor

A bit like the Nigerian that informed me today of the sad death of a long lost uncle who owned a petro-chemical company and was worth £35 million. Strange thing this, I'm the only surviving relative--maybe I should tell my parents and relatives they are actually dead??
He was also a diseased solicitor (maybe the disease was from an E-mail virus?)
Still it amused me for a while.

£35 million

makes my 4.5 million look decidely paltry,
I must have the wrong solicitor working for me, or the wrong type of nigerian uncle

BabelFish has a lot to answer for!

Sorry, that should be:

wonder if my 35 million has anything to do with the failed ups delivery email supposedly forwarded by "google" today? maybe it's 35 million in used tenners?

I can only guess Amazon have heard of my good fortune and this is why I keep being sent 'Amazon Offers of the day'.

It does rather give the game away when you get multiple copies of the same email. One of the perils (or advantages?) of having several public email addresses.
