Nothing medically to report but today my luck changed for the better!!!!

I received a letter from a Mrs. Grace Wu,a private investment wbanker

Apparently some donut with my surname instructed her to lodge $21 Million in some Chinese bank to be used for an investment in some business or other.

6 years later the Bank reported to her that the funds remained untouched and when she investigated further it turned out that the donut investor had only gone and got himself killed in a hiking accident in mainland China.

Not only that but he died intestate and now Mrs. Wu wants to do a deal with me to share these unclaimed bucks-10.5 million bucks each !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh course, to save her getting into trouble all of this must remain confidential and I mustn't tell anyone about it-not even the people on here on here!!

Now there may well be those of you reading this that will be Doubting Thomases but I know it's the genuine article for the following reasons..

The writer has a Chinese name

Her address is in Chinese characters

She's given me a real email address to contact her.

The letter has only taken 5 weeks to reach me since she wrote it.

I know that she is a real banker because she saved money when posting this letter by using a second class stamp.

There are a number of elementary spelling mistakes within the letter that only a real Chinese person when writing in another language would make and I also know for a fact that the Chinese authorities do not permit the use of spell ckeckers on any computer used in China!

Wahoooo!! I'm in the money,I'm in the money!!

The sad thing about these scam letters [And emails] is that these con people work on the numbers game-if they send out enough of this drivel there will always be some susceptable soul out there that will be suckered in and will lose their hard earned cash to these vermin.

You're so lucky! I could really use some money just now, as it's not easy to keep 13 children when you live in a shoe. So I will write a genuine begging letter later...

The only Chinese thing that comes through my letterbox are menus from the local takeaways!

Hi SL

Can't imagine that you are in need of money when you must be coining in a fortune in Child Benefit and Tax Credits etc. with that number of offspring.

As for merely feeding them a bowl of broth without any bread and then whipping them before they are sent to bed!!!

As for the number of menus that come through all of our doors, I sometimes think that my address must be similar to that of the local waste recycling plant considering the volume that I get every week without fail!

Ok, keep your millions, see if I care! And before you think about reporting me to the authorities, the kids all had a Macdonald's tonight and I don't have to worry about sending them to bed, they're off out rioting!

P.s, ditto on the leaflets. It's so bad here, I keep a bin handy beside the door so I can just drop them straight in!

Thanks for making me chuckle.
