Apparently before dying my grandfather left several million dollars in a Mexican bank in my name. All these years that money has been accruing interest at an amazing rate and I, as my grandfather’s favorite grandson, am now one of the richest men in the world.
I think that is absolutely amazing, don’t you? And apparently all I need to do to take possession of said money is pay a nominal (in light of all the money I will receive) $4000.00 dollar inheritance tax, which of course I am to send to the attorney representing my grandfather’s estate.
And I probably shouldn’t be mentioning this at all because if any of my grandfather’s other grandchildren hear about this, they can tie the money up in probate court for years to come.
Oh what should I do? What should I do?
Well, I don’t know about you but as for me I think that I would have to tell everyone just to get a good laugh. I mean, who else would be able to confuse you for a ‘he’?

OJM — I think that’s what I just did?
I think I would be a fool to believe this, don’t you?

Gigi — most likely.
I would say, go and print the email, visit the lawyer and shovel it up his ****

All those payments on the gender reassignment surgery, you could finally pay off.

Doug — let’s not tell Amoeba about that, okay?
ROFL! You should quit opening spam! LOL!

Melli — but it’s so much fun!
You have to wonder how many idiots fall for scams like that. I suppose there must be one or two out there. Sad state of affairs.
Have a super day, Q!
.-= Jenn@ You know… that blog?´s last blog ..Scuba TV =-.
Jenn — yes. If things like this didn’t actually work on people, the scammers wouldn’t bother doing it.
Well, there’s all your furniture you want to buy!
.-= Mocha with Linda´s last blog ..Scuba TV =-.
Linda — I have a feeling that any furniture purchased with this money would be less than substantial.
Favorite grandson? Guess granddad’s eyesight wasn’t too good.
The good news is that all of the problems with those Nigerian princes must have been solved.

Cherie — you are absolutely right! That means I should probably check back into that deal about my long lost uncle’s oil well …..
i have so many dead relatives that left money to me
i dont know where to start…
so i just decided to leave it up to the attorney to get the checks to me…
they should be here soon
let ya know when they come!
i hope they dont come while i am on my way to your house
Tilden — even if you walk every step of the way, I’m pretty sure you’ll get here long before any of those checks arrive.
I’m with Tilden. I’d make Aristotle Onassis look poor!!!

Thom, when it comes to heart size (and ego) you already do!
Aren’t you lucky!
.-= Jientje´s last blog ..Weekly Winners =-.
Jientje — indeed.
It’s like Jenn said – some idiots fall for it but what matters most is older folks who don’t have it all together and get caught up in all these money scams. That is a sad state of affairs.
Nice night shot below. Could almost be Waikiki.
.-= Carletta´s last blog ..Petals of Bubble Gum Pink =-.
Carletta — yes. I shouldn’t make fun because I am very angry on behalf of those folks so desperate they will jump at such offers.
And thanks for the compliment on the photo. I much prefer Friday Harbor to Waikiki, rain and all.
so when did you undergo the gender change?
.-= polona´s last blog ..hydrangea – archive again =-.
Polona — I am thinking they might have done a lobotomy at the same time, because I really don’t remember.
Sorry I’m late but a summer riding accident had actually put me out of commission longer than I would have liked.
I wish you and your family a Happy New Year
All the best for 2010
Baron — I hope you are mending well. I am glad to see you are up and at’em again!
What does Amoeba think of your new gender?

Hola Amigo…
When you obtain all your riches remind me about the bridge I’d like to sell ya.

Oh, Jeff — if you’d only said something yesterday! I already put on option on both the Golden Gate and Brooklyn Bridge. I think owning 3 is just a bit excessive, don’t you?
If only spammers would use their powers for good and not eeeville. Some of them are pretty creative.

Barbara — I agree.
They’ll try anything, won’t they?!
