I am so excited I am busting! I got this email today from
Ban Ki-Moon, the Secretary-General of the United Nations. At first I was a bit skeptical, wondering why he would take the time out of his
schedule to contact me directly, but you know those Chinese, or Koreans or
whatever he is--they are nothing if not cordial. And he has such an honest face (see photo), and besides--why would he lie? Apparently I am about to become rich! Check out his letter to
me—his English is sort of bad, but hey, nobody’s perfect:
“How are you today? Hope all is well with you and family. This
email is to all the people that have been scammed in any part of the world, the
UNITED NATIONS has agreed to compensate them with the sum of $550,000 each and
you have to indicate how much you lost in the hands of scammers. This includes
if you have sent money with Western Union or Money Gram also every foreign
contractors, inheritance, dating and lottery payment that have not received
their payment, and people that have had an unfinished transaction or
international lottery payment that failed due to Government problems etc.
We found your name in our list and that is why we are contacting
you, this have been agreed upon and have been signed to pay you the above
amount. You are advised to contact
Mr. Billy Foster who is in charge of your payment through our paying center in
Texas. Contact him immediately for more information on how to get your
compensation of $550,000.00 payment from the United Nations. Therefore, you should send him your
full name, telephone number and your correct home address, Contact Mr. Billy Foster immediately for your
compensation payments. Contact billyfoster03@yahoo.com. Thanks and God bless you and your family. Hoping to hear
from you as soon as you receive your compensation funds don’t neglect this I
advice you. “
So the thing is, even though I have never lost any money to scammers, they have my name and I got this letter. Now I am wondering if it would be wrong for me to accept the money. I am also wondering if anyone, anywhere, ever believes this sort of thing for a second, and if they do, will they be voting in the upcoming presidential election.
