I could have $25 million. But look - he almost spelled everything correctly and made complete sentences. Thank goodness the money has nothing to do with drugs.
Dear Friend,
I am a financial consultant based in Cote d'Ivoire. I have a client (a widow) who has $25 million dollars with a private equity investment trust company for safe keeping only. She wishes to invest in a stable economy.
Her interest is in companies with potentials for rapid growth in long terms. My client is interested in placing her fund in your company, if your country's bylaw allows foreign investment. I prefer you contact me for more details.
Yours faithfully,
Mr. John Kulma
NB: The fund is free from drug and laundering related offences
I get several emails all day long from a friend of mine's mother. Chain letters, cutesy images, that kind of thing. Whatever is making the email rounds. I like it because I get to see what's going around and sometimes they're good for a giggle.
And with a ballot I don't have... I'd like to know what company is selling my work email to all these con artists.

I have a pet peeve. A small one. One that shouldn't raise my blood pressure as much as it does. I should let it go.
It has nothing to do with driving (though I have MANY annoyances there).
It has to do with email.
Why can people not look at who the email is sent to? I get an email 2 or 3 times just because no one looked to see if I was copied and then they come up and are all like "I forwarded you this email."
Yeah, I got it.
And it's usually something I have to do anyways so by the time I get the email forwarded - I've done said task and emailed everyone about it.
See? Not really a big deal but it made me twitch this morning. I can't wait for this 3-day weekend... I was so sure yesterday was Friday.
