My husband and I are the luckiest people in Marysville!
Conservatively, we are worth around $40 million!
Recently, a lady in Hawaii e-mailed us and asked for a bunch of personal information. With our information she would open a joint account with us in the Bango Bank, Ltd. and deposit the money so we could split “25 millions” her late husband, the “president of the Philippines,” had stashed.
Yesterday we received an e-mail from Joseph Davids (Esq.), “personal attorney to Mr. Peter Gordon, a nationality (sic) of your country who was an oil consultant with the Togolaise Shell Petroleum Corporation.” Joe will cut us in on “US$10,500,000.00” that Pete left in a bank in Togo before dying on Aug. 1, 1999, along with his wife and three children in an auto accident on the Quidah-Parakou expressway.
Tragic, but another good deal for us!
Then the money gods smiled on us again. Macheal Chamber Attorney in the Cotonou Benin Republic, “personal attorney to James Gordon, an Engr and sole owner of Jafak Construction in the Cotonou Benin Republic,” e-mailed us. Macheal wants our personal data so we can participate with him in “repartrating” (sic) money left behind by “Engr Gordon” amounting to “Five Million Eight Hundred Thousand United State of American Dollars in the bank of Cotonou.” (The 5.8 million ballooned to “18.5 U.S of A American Dollars” later on.)
He will split these U.S. dollars with us – 60 percent to him and 40 percent to us. Fantastic!
He asks for our “honest cooperation to see this deal through.” All he wants is stuff like our PIN numbers, Social Security numbers, and other personal information I wouldn’t even give my mother-in-law.
Like I said: We are in the bucks!
