I must be one of the luckiest people in the world. Yes, like you I have won the Nigerian Lottery! But, today I also received this astounding piece of news. WHAT A LUCKY DAY!

Hello Mr. Harden,

My name is Mrs. Maria Johnson. I am a dying woman who has decided to donate what I have to you. I am 59 years old and was diagnosed for cancer about 2 years ago. Kindly contact my lawyer through this email address (johnwalteratlive.nl) if you are interested in carrying out this task, so that he can arrange the release of the funds ($10,500,000.00) to you. My lawyer's name is Barrister John Walter. I know I have never met you but my mind tells me to do this, and I hope you act sincerely.

Thank you and God bless you.

Maria Johnson.

I have replied to Barrister John Walter:

Barrister Walter,

I regret to inform you that I will not have time to "act sincerely" in arranging for the release of the 10 and 1/2 million dollars from Ms. Johnson, as I will be busy in my new job with AIG! My sincere condolences to Ms. Johnson on her impending death.

Best regards,

Charlie

My regrets to Ms. Johnson and her family. I am sure the Harden family is very worthy, but how did she find the Charlie family before the Ann family? You are such a lucky guy!

Now, Ann, jealousy will get you nowhere... BTW, I put a special "link surprise" in the Attorney's e-mail link.

On another matter concerning money, I'm sending you a check for you guy's silent auction. I couldn't get around to mailing my donation of something for you to auction. Glad you commented. Now here's something else I need to do tomorrow. http://activerain.com/blogsview/975109/Hoover-Cares-Silent-AuctionFundraiser-To-Help-Teenage-Cancer-Victims-Family-With-Medical-Exenses

Charlie, you are way too kind! Thank you! Now I need to figure out the "link surprise" I'm way to old to check into this stuff past my bedtime.

Badfinger was my very first concert, sort of. I was only 13 and it was the first time me and and a friend were allowed to do such a thing. It was quite different than concerts I attended two years later! What a different world!

Hi Charlie - Good for you. lol We get those emails all the time. It's amazing how many end up in our "spam" folder. You would think that some level of "cyber police" out there would crack down on these frauds.

Ann... "Did I hear you say that there must be a catch? Will you walk away from a fool and his money....?" What a great band, and I see you clicked on the Attorney link~!

Jon, You're absolutely right, but I hadn't thougth much about that. It's obviously low-life crooks sending this junk out.

Charlie...can I fax you a copy of a blank-bank deposit slip for the "Barrister" to transfer the funds to my account. No sense in going to waste if you don't want the money. Steve :)

Mar 19, 2009 04:46 AM

Ha! Absolutely, Steve, send it on! I'll forward it to him...

I played with one for 4 weeks. I was going to be in the country and would stop by the bank personally. Then I had to send my Esquire to transact the business That did not go well). Then I accused him of standing me up at the bank to "transibe business relations" and he said sorry.

I accuesed his bank of beating up my esquire I am upset. For that I got an apology.

Now I have just proclaimed that I am in love with him, and though it may be Taboo, we can take my fortune and live together in love. That has seemed to infuriate the spammer.

I pass on all the spam to him now when I have time. Not sure why he does not block my emails but he is pissed off at me and begs me to stop spamming him? I sent him links to the DOJ to report me.

Good stuff to do if you have a free moment. Its my stress relief.

Mar 20, 2009 04:44 AM

Chad, that's pretty good. Maybe he'll just send you a check to get you to cease and desist!
