Jackpot in My Spam Folder

I check my spam folder in my Gmail account quite a bit as they do a really good job of keeping spam out of my inbox. Once in a great while, some of my subscribed to emails get lost in the spam folder. So I peruse the titles, and sometimes I like to read the spam. Usually it's the same old junk. You know the titles of them are always Monster size my penis, Pleasure her for weeks on end, and Cheap Viagra are the most common.

Today I got the email pasted below. Man, I'm excited! I get $3.06 million just for being a foreigner. Who said being an American was bad? Not I! I'm over-joyed at this great possibility of becoming rich. I mean, seriously, how many of you can say you got this email? That's right! None of you. I am sorry, but it may be a while before I write in this blog again because I'm going to be enjoying my $3.06 million.

Check the letter:

Mrs.Maria Cristina Gamboa
REGIONAL AUDITOR,
HEAD OFFICE BANCO DE ORO UNIVERSAL BANK .
12 ADB AVENUE, ORTIGAS CENTER,
MANDALUYONG CITY,PHILIPPINES.


Attention


Let me start by introducing myself,I am Mrs.Maria Cristina Gamboa , REGIONAL AUDITOR OFFICER BANCO DE ORO UNIVERSAL BANK.I am writing you this letter based on the latest development at my bank, which I will like to bring to your personal edification.I am a top official in charge of client accounts in (EQUITABLE PCI BANK) which is now BANCO DE ORO UNIVERSAL BANK inside the Philippines.the merger was late(2007).The merger is part of a long-term goal of Banco de Oro to become one of the largest names in the Philippine banking industry.


In 2001, my client was going through a horrendous divorce in the United States of America and was on the verge of losing most of his estate to his vicious and diabolical wife.He transferred some funds, ten million two hundred thousand dollars ($10.2m) to a fixed deposit account in my bank under an alias which only the two of us knew about as the confidentiality of the matter was necessary for his protection.


Due to his untimely death in early 2002, the funds have been sitting in the account ever since and will continue to do so perpetually unless we do something about it. My client did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I would like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to our client so that you will be able to receive his funds.The allocation of our money will be as follows: 30%($3.06m) to you for your part in this, 70% for me. Again, I will be in charge of everything else.If you are interested in working with me please contact me via my private e-mail (mrsmcg7@gmail.com) for further details.


Mrs.Maria Cristina Gamboa
