An "ageing Widow" Of 61 Wants To Give Me $8 Million To Use In Charitable Works...

[sandyRoe]

She starts her e-mail, 'Dearest in the Lord...'
If I get my hand on this I won't restrict my giving to people of faith. Any of the goodly unGodly who have fallen on hard times have only to ask.

Is this too good to be true?

[maggiebee]

Pass some my way Sandy, I'm an ageing widow!

[aelmpvw]

damn ... she offered it to me last week and i ignored her

[sherrardk]

I've been told to contact Barrister Anderson Posh to collect my money (it must be real as who would make up a name like that?)

[sandyRoe]

Aelmpvw, She must be sitting somewhere in Nigeria now thinking it's a funny old world where you can't even give away millions.
Maggie, if I get my hands on it you'll have a share. Never fret.

Has Posh taken silk? You'd think looking after the kids and Becks going to Paris would take up all her time

The part that anyone aged 61 would term themselves as 'aged' is a give-away straight away.

When it comes to the part where they want a US$295 registration fee first... just ask them to take it of the $8mill and send you the rest.

If you actually get this money, i'll promise to go to church every sunday for a year. Here's your chance to try and convert someone, sandy. ☺

$8 million to use in charitable works? Only a fool would turn down such an offer.

[boxtops]

what country does she live in, that 61 is "ageing"?!

[ludwig]

Nigerian life expectancy's not that great. 61 is probably ancient over there.

[boxtops]

True, ludwig.

[ludwig]

Have you lost an arm by the way sandy?

[jno]

I've been ageing since long before I was 61. Have the rest of you been getting younger or something? If so, I'd like to hear your secret.

[ludwig]

^ ignore that. I just read your second post.

[jno]

excuse me, DO NOT ignore my post, it is of millennial importance.

[ludwig]

ok - ignore the one below this instead

[ludwig]

I'd be careful if I were you sandy. It could be some kind of scam.

[askyourgran]

I had one a couple of days ago, my lady had terminal cancer and only a few weeks to live, she has a young daughter who will need to be cared for so she wants to give me $51,00000 dollars if I will send my details, as we both love the Lord. PO box Nigeria or somewhere similar. Why is my delete box full of these letters, I am so tempted to reply.

[keyplus90]

Sandy, I believe that same widow sends me emails as well on very regular basis.

[sandyRoe]

Ludwig, you must have heard the Irish blessing, 'May your giving hand never falter'.?

As I am an atheist I wouldn't get past the first few words.
