EMAIL Hell - No Effort at All Was Spent on This EMAIL
Found in my inbox:
Dear Correspondent.
I am compelled to write you this email for the following reason:-
One of my client, who is now deceased, in his Will, left his entire Estate and Cash deposit, valued millions of US dollars. The truth is that l does not know if you are the beneficiary or not.
For over two years, l have tried effortlessly to locate the person on the will without success, which mandated me to contact you.
Can you get back to me urgently if you are capable of investing these funds in any profitable ventures in your domain? You can reach me via this email address: kennethmooreesq@strompost.com for further explanation.
Regards,
Attorney Kenneth Moore
I'm getting a little tired of this. In the first place, this message looks suspiciously like something run through Babelfish by someone who doesn't speak English. The first clue is the use of the word effortlessly. See, the only creature on this Earth who can accomplish anything by working on it effortlessly is a cat. Each day I spend hours sitting around doing nothing and thereby protecting my family from mice and other vermin. I don't see somebody named "Kenneth Moore" working that way.
Furthermore, if somebody wanted to leave me an inheritance, it would look like this:
and for sure the phone number would be somewhere in Wisconsin, not in Great Britain.
My only worry here is that some of you who don't have EMAIL addresses for your cats might think this guy is real. Don't make that mistake. Get an EMAIL address for your cat immediately and put it someplace the spammers can find easily. Then if something slips through your spam filter and shows up in your cat's inbox, you'll know it's a fake.
This is just another way we cats can protect you from vermin, and please note: it's something we do effortlessly.
Respectfully submitted,
Ferdinand T. Cat
