I don't need to buy lotto tickets anymore - 04-16-2010, 07:44 AM


This hit my inbox overnight. I guess I don't need to buy Lotto tickets anymore.

SUBJECT: NOTIFICATION OF BEQUEST:

On behalf of the Trustees and Executor of the estate of Late Mr. Xavier Arumanathan, I once again try to notify you as my earlier letter was returned undelivered. I hereby attempt to reach you again by this same email address on the WILL. I wish to notify you that late Mr. Mr. Xavier Arumanathan named you one of the beneficiaries to his WILL. He left the sum of Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars (USD$3,500.000.00) to you in the codicil and last testament to his will.

This may sound strange and unbelievable to you, but it is real and true. Being a widely travelled man, he must have been in contact with you in the past or simply you were nominated to him by one of his numerous friends abroad who wished you good. Mr. Xavier Arumanathan until his death was a member of the Helicopter Society and the Institute of Electronic & Electrical Engineers. He was a very dedicated philanthropy who loved to give out. His great philanthropy earned him numerous awards during his lifetime. Late Mr. Xavier Arumanathan died on the 10th day of December 2008 at the age of 90 years and his WILL is now ready for execution. According to him this money is to support his Missionary activities (May his soul rest in Pace) and to help the poor and needy.

Please if I reach you as I am hopeful, endeavor to get back to me as soon as possible to enable me conclude my job. I hope to hear from you in no distant date.

Yours in His service,
From: Barrister Edward Harouna.

Thumbs down English? - 04-16-2010, 03:41 PM


"He was a very dedicated philanthropy who loved to give out."

Hmm, doesn't sound like English to me.

Nick you mean I'm not the only one he left this bequest to. He must have been very wealthy to leave all those bequest's, sounds like he had more money than Warren Buffet and Bill Gates combined.

Bruce I guess that's the South African accent coming thru.
