I suppose I could just bullshit to her about how I would use the money, I mean once she's gone the worst that could happen is that she would haunt me.........although she does say that she wants the money used for the 'less privileged' and hey ! she seems to have 20 million pounds and I DON'T so I guess that would make me less privileged.
Honestly, does anybody actually ever respond to these things ??????? I guess that there are probably some people out there who do. I have no idea why but the amount of spam email I have received in the last 6 months is out of control. I have no idea what I have logged onto that has marked me as someone who might be stupid enough to actually believe the crap they try to spin. The one copied below is a little bit different to the others with the 'undisclosed recipients' in the To field - ususally these things come through addressed directly to me.
I'd love to find out how they actually get hold of people's email addresses. Keep on sending .... one day you might catch me in a weak moment, or after a few glasses of Cardonay. Until then, I will just keep adding you to the blocked senders list !

No:36 Old Shrewberry Street,
London England.
Beloved,i am Lady Rebecca Thatcher, suffering from cancerous ailment..I used to be married to Sir Jeremy Thatcher an Englishman who is dead and resting peacefully. My husband was into private practice all his life before he passed. Our life together as man and wife lasted for three decades without offsprings. My husband died after a protracted illness in an accident he got from Africa while on humanitarian duties. My husband,while he was alive made a vow to uplift the down-trodden and the less-privileged individuals as he had passion for persons who can not help themselves due to physical disability or financial predicament.I can adduce this to the fact that he needed a Child from the marriage, which never came.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of Twenty Million Pounds (20,000,000.00 Million Great Britain Pounds Sterling)which were derived from his vast estates and investment in capital market with his bank here in UK. Presently, this money is still with the Bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that I have limited days to live due to the cancerous problems I am suffering from.
Though what bothers me most is the stroke that I have in addition to the cancer. With this hard reality that has befallen me, I have decided to donate this fund to you and want you to use this gift which comes from my husbands effort to fund the upkeep of widows, widowers, orphans, destitute, the down-trodden, physically challenged children, barren-women and persons who prove to be genuinely handicapped financially.
I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my husbands relatives are bourgeois and very wealthy persons and I do not want my husbands hard earned money to be misused or invested into ill perceived ventures. I do not want this money to be misused hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I do not need any telephone communication in this regard due to my deteriorating health and because of the presence of my husbands relatives around me. I do not want them to know about this development because i want the money used for the Less Previledged.
My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation. Please assure me that you will act just as I have stated herein. Hope to hear from you soon.

Thanking you in advance for everything,
Sincerely yours,
Lady Rebecca Thatcher.
A couple of points to consider -
- If you are going to pass yourself off as a British aristocrat, for Christ's sake LEARN TO WRITE PROPERLY ! If you can't learn to write in the language of the people you are trying to con then take some writing tips from Engrish.com so that your emails are at least humourous !
- Learn the phrase - 'If it sounds too good to be true, then it usually is' - this may assist you in formulating a con that might sound remotely plausible.

a snail mail chain letter has been doing the rounds here in WA with the promise of great riches, you only need to send the person at the top of the list $10 cash and the copy the letter a zillion times with your name added to the list and send it out to unsuspecting strangers who will in turn be stupid enough to send you $10.
AND PEOPLE ARE DOING IT! We've recieved 5 of these this year
Could be worse, could be Margaret Thatcher writing to you.
Hey, at least they used the word "bougeois". Not often you get spam that does that!
