Gooday My Dear Friend (I’m Here to Send You $2,500.000.00Us Dollars)
Can you imagine receiving an email like the one below? Some person whom I do not know sends an unaddressed email to tell me his friend will send me a “Cashier Bank Draft” in the amount of
“TWO MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATE DOLLARS”, just out of the blue!
Maybe he’s Santa Claus.
Maybe he is trying to scam some dumb, deliriously naive person to answer him if only to help him with his spelling.
My best bet for the $2,500.000.00Us Dollars is Santa! I’m hanging up my stocking right now, just in case.
(If you don’t play, you never win – just like a lottery)
But I am not responding to such an email! I’m dumping it right after I post it here for the rest of the world to see and appreciate for what it most likely is: Another variant on a Nigerian spam email Letter!
Santa already knows my address and whether I’ve been naughty or nice.
