| Here is one for you guys My E mail address was found in a Journal of a American soldier. Capt Michiel Hagee of the 3rd batallion 25th Marine Regememnt Has contacted me according to this soldier instructions. I am to help him get 10,750,102 bucks into a safe contry. It is not stolen money. I am to keep it for him till he finishes his enlistment. I am going to the bathroom right how to check my forhead to see if STUPID is samped on my forehead. The next one was from Pay Pal about 199.00 bucks charged to my accountl from THE AMERICAN ENCYCLOPEDIA COMPANY for a complete set of encyclopedias. They needed all my information to make sure this was correct. I love E mails  | |

| If it didn't WORK a fair percentage of the time, they wouldn't do it.
There was this fellow who had a museum. He felt people were spending too much time inside which meant he couldn't let MORE paying people in....so he added a BIG, BOLD sign saying "This way to see the GREAT EGRESS!!!" The door, which locked behind them, led to the alley out back.... I'll leave you to guess who he was and what other quote he was famous for. | |

| As I work in the international oil and exploration business I would receive these offers from time to time. Years ago, before e-mail became so prevalent, I would receive actual physical letters with an offer that seemed to good to be true. I received one such letter from Nigeria and we examined the envelope. After a careful and thorough examination we determined the international postage stamp on the envelope was likely counterfeit. If the sender could have figured out a method to counterfeit the envelope, they would have given it a try. | |

It's amazing how many people know nothing about that movie. I saw it in a theatre when it was first released. Good show old man.

| | I spoke with a sweet lady who called me on my cell phone. She said she was from Florida and had $11,205 dollars for me. She just needed my account numbers and she was sending a courier to secure them from me. I told her my bank's name... First National Bank of the FBI. Address. 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Wash. DC. Name on Account GWBush. Told her the secret words for the courier to get past the guards was. Tim McVay. or just to drive by real fast. I talked to her for about 20 minutes before she finally figured out I wasn't going to give her the numbers she needed. | | | |

| They're even using Skype! Got a message wanting help getting money out of somewhere in Africa. Astounding. Been a long time since my only e-mail plea. I, too, must look in the mirror tonight; must be getting much too old or stupid.

I have one of those new reverse accounts, you have to give me your account number so I can authorize you to access mine... that costs extra, send a check to cover that first, please.

| | Unfortunately all my wealth is buried in coffee cans in the yard so no numbers. I could send you an empty can (have plenty of those) that you could authorize access to. Of course you'll need to send a deposit for the can to show your good faith....... | |

| | I could certainly make a deposit in the can for you and send it back! Unfortunately, I never developed a taste for coffee... I was always told it would stunt yer growth, and I believe it. If you will notice the money in the burried cans is not growing at all, but then, of course, money that was burried in the stock market ain't growing all that much recently either. Well, anyway, you send the can and I'll send back a deposit. | |
