Wow. You're special.

That's funny ! Apparently I had a family member in Nigeria who happened to be a multimilionare who along with his entire family was killed !!! I also apparently was the sole ancestor the Nigerian government could find to send all his millions to and all they needed was my bank account number to transfer the funds ! They also needed my contact information, and social security number so I could prove my relation to the desceaced.

I only pointed this email out as it is the first one of its type I have ever received and I nearly fell off my chair and spilt my beer I was laughing so hard! I look forward to receiving further correspondance from the Nigerian Presidents office!

Gentleman, I am happy to announce, Interpol itself has thanked me for sending on the information from one of these scammers to them. Maybe I should ask for a salary!
