Answer 1

[e-mail].
This is where to report such scams. Obviously the rest of the people answering, except for 1 person only wished to insult.

Answer 2

Yep! Let me guess (I didn't read it, too annoying) - this guy is somewhere in Africa and has discovered that your last name matches the name of a "deceased" person and wants you to claim that you are their closest living relative. For putting you on to this "no risk" (that's bound to be in there somewhere) venture, he/she wants about 60% of the estate.

How'd I do? Some scammers don't have a clue: all caps is an instant switch off.

Hope you did the appropriate thing with this piece of c***.

Have a good one.

Answer 3

For your naive information... this letter is a scam, why worry about rude? They are sent all over the world and they will find a fool that is wanting to make quick easy money and go for it. Did the misspellings not give it away? Did you happen to think about printing it out and giving it to the authorities? They have units that deal with that kind of crime.

Answer 4

what the "name" in the hell u call it... boje... actually you got to take a print out of it on Toilet paper ... & u exactly know.. wachagadda do...

Cheers
