This mail has been around for ages, only characters in the mail change and so does their little spammy stories.....
I hardly ever get a chance to earn a 20% commission helping someone relocate millions of dollars. The stupid anti-spam system I created kills 99.9% of them before I can read them. No wonder I am not getting the same kinds of opportunities as others. I dont even win lotteries I never enetered anymore!!
i actually got one once that was very well written that it managed to keep my attention so i would read it all. Too bad i still knew it was a scam
