Checking my e-mail each day, I get tons of spam e-mails, which normally wind up in the Bulk section. But, this one slipped through and was in my regular Inbox, so I felt that it was worthy enough to at least read. This one wasn’t one of those classic stupid spam e-mails that offer you Viagra for cheap. Aha, no. This was one of the “I’ve got 20 gazillion dollars and I want to give it to YOU” ones. I get the ones from the prince of some country in Africa, but this one I’ve never read before. It’s pretty well written.
Tittled: Beloved, Reply ASAP.
From: Lady Rebecca Thatcher. No:36 Old Shrewberry Street, London England.Here writes Lady Rebecca Thatcher, suffering from cancerous ailment. I used to be married to Sir Jeremy Thatcher an Englishman who is dead. My husband was into private practice all his life before his death. Our life together as man and wife lasted for three decades without children. My husband died after a protracted illness. My husband and I made a vow to uplift the down-trodden and the less-privileged individuals as he had passion for persons who can not help themselves due to physical disability or financial predicament.I can adduce this to the fact that he needed a Child from the marriage, which never came. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of Twenty Million Pounds (20,000,000.00 Million Great Britain Pounds Sterling) which were derived from his vast estates and investment in capital market with his bank here in UK. Presently, this money is still with the Bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that I have limited days to live due to the cancerous problems I am suffering from. Though what bothers me most is the stroke that I have in addition to the cancer. With this hard reality that has befallen me, I have decided to donate this fund to you and want you to use this gift which comes from my husbands effort to fund the upkeep of widows, widowers, orphans, destitute, the down-trodden, physically challenged children, barren-women and persons who prove to be genuinely handicapped financially. I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my husbands relatives are bourgeois and very wealthy persons and I do not want my husbands hard earned money to be misused or invested into ill perceived ventures. I do not want this money to be misused hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I do not need any telephone communication in this regard due to my deteriorating health and because of the presence of my husbands relatives around me. I do not want them to know about this development. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank in UK. I will also issue you a Letter of Authority that will empower you as the original beneficiary of this fund. My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation. Please assure me that you will act just as I have stated herein. Hope to hear from you soon. You can contact me through my personal email address at: [removed] Lady Rebecca Thatcher.
I hope this gave you a good chuckle if you haven’t read it before. Have a great weekend!


If I had a nickel for every time someone offered me 20 million dollars on email I would be very rich.
Did you pass a day without spam, I haven’t. It became a part of our life, but it is too much bothering. Don’t worry one day we will be free from it.
I got one of those the other day and just for fun I replied, I got one follow up response that was just as hilarious, I replied again but the interesting thing was they never actually asked for any details or anything from me. I was stumped to work out how they could possibly benefit! I do like funny spam, I even keep a blog about it http://www.failspam.com/
Thanks for the laugh
