Hehe, you didn't have to give away your personal information to a bank in Nigeria to claim you prize, now? Very trusty bank there!

Last week I received an email informing me that my email has been picked out of thousands of others and I have won $850,000 dollars.
Well lucky old me. This was from a European syndicate but probably originating in Nigeria.
I was going to reply and tell them to deduct their fee from my winnings and forward the rest but I couldn't really be asked.
