I put some asterisks to hide some of the details. I do not want us linking to third parties. Now check this... imagine getting an Email from:
1. A married female doctor
2. Living and working in Canada
3. For Microsoft? Since when are they in the lotto?
4. I won one million British pounds out of Canada eh? They could have at least changed the currency to Canadian dollars.
5. Now here is the best. Now I have to contact someone in South Africa and promise to give 10% of the money to charity
6. The least they could have done is run a spell checker too
I am ready to contact the guy, I am such a believer, this is better than X-files.
