I'm shocked

Got this in my inbox today and I am shocked that it's not from someone in Nigeria.

MANAGING PARTNER

LONDON_ UK.


NOTICE OF BEQUEST


On behalf of the Trustees and Executor of the estate of
Late Engr. Reimann Konrad, I once again try to notify you
as my earlier letter returned undelivered. I hereby attempt to reach
you again by this same email address on the WILL.


I wish to notify you that Late Engr. Reimann Konrad made
you a beneficiary to his WILL.He left the sum of Twenty two million
five hundred thousand United States Dollars ($22,500.000.00USD)to you in the
codicil and last testament to his WILL.


This may sound strange and unbelievable to you, but it is real and
true. Being a widely travelled man, he must have been in contact with you in
the past or simply you were recommended to him by one of his numerous friends
abroad who wished you good.


Engr. Reimann Konrad until his death was a member of the
Helicopter Society and the Institute of Electronic & Electrical
Engineers. He had a very good heart and was a philantropist. His great
philanthropy earned him numerous awards during his life time.


Late Engr. Reimann Konrad died on the 13th day of December,
2006 at the age of 80 years, and his WILL is now ready for execution.
According to him this money is to support your humanitarian activities and to
help the poor and the needy in our society.


Please if I reach you this time as I am hopeful, endeavor to get back
to me as soon as possible to enable me conclude my job.


I hope to hear from you in no distant time through the email address below.

I get these all the time. Once I won 10 foreign lotteries in one week, woohoo!!! Na, it's always someone trying to empty your bank account. These guys are below scum, how pathetic to make a living stealing from people like that. They should focus their efforts in another country where money is actually worth something. Numbskulls.

OK.

We know everyone gets these all the time.


Its been going on for years.






The only thing more annoying than these emails themselves is when some makes a facetious thread regarding their validility.

I got one of those one time... funny thing is they said a William Erickson left x amount to me in his will. Well William is the name of my "estranged" father who I've never met so I was kinda in a shock at first.

I figured it was fake due to previous similar emails with different names and the number of errors.

Really? I always thought the only thing more annoying was when people make douche bag comments like yours.
