Serves you right tightwad. Tru and I would split with you if we won all of that money.

I told you that the Mt. Shasta goddess was sending snow to you. And you made fun of her. Now be prepared for a long and very cold Winter with snow like you haven't seen in years.

Ron

[wtm442]

The Mt Shasta Goddess is a wimp. I ain't taking no more $hit from her. She is powerless in my area. I hope she gets really mad and loads up a lot of moisture, but has to make a pit stop in the Detroit area so Tru can really have a white Christmas. Then when she gets to the right coast, she can dump most of whats left on NJ.

[wtm442]

A new one! I wonder what happened with #3 and #4

I really like the way they signed it. Next you should be hearing from the BAR Association and then the Medical association.

Have you seen the add on TV where the guy walks into a restaurant where a man is eating and sits down at his table and tells him that he is a foreign dignitary with millions of dollars that he needs to get transferred over here and he will pay him so much to help?

I saw that for the first time a couple of days ago. LMAO.

It reminds me of two friends that got scammed in the old TV for short money at Sears routine. Each lost $500 about 10 years ago. I still bust their balls about it.

[wtm442]

CONSCIENCE CHAMBERS
LEGAL PRACTITIONERS
PLOT 207, CREEK ROAD,
IKEJA LAGOS NIGERIA.


Regards to the Late Mr.Norman’s Inheritance.

I was privileged to capture your names from the Internet. My name is Barr. Marcus Wilson, a Legal practitioner and the personal Attorney to late Mr. Norman, a national of your country who died along with his wife and his Two sons in a Ghastly motor accident along Sagamu express road Ibadan, on June19th 2005. All the occupants in the vehicle lost their lives.

I am convinced that it was the grace of God that made me to locate you. My client was a successful and is accomplished family man, who made enough fortune before his untimely death. Since then I had made several inquiries through your Embassy to locate any of my clients extended relative but this exercise has proved unsuccessful. After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives through the Internet, to locate any member of his family no progress was recorded.

My late client was an influential wealthy businessman, an oil magnet here in Nigeria and he left behind a deposit of Nineteen million, Three Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only US$19,3OO,OOO.OO in his domiciliary bank account in Continental Trust Bank Limited here in Lagos. After the death of my client his bankers contacted me, as his Attorney to provide his next of kin who should inherit his fortune. The board of directors of his bank adopted a resolution and I was mandated to provide his next of kin for the payment of this money within 3 years or forfeit the money as unclaimed item. The bank has moved the fund to the Special account of the Central Bank Of Nigeria pending the time the next of Kin to my late client will come forward. The bankers had planned to invoke the abandoned property decree of 1996 to confiscate the funds after the expiration of the deadline which is few months ahead.

Despairing at the point of exhaustiveness, fortunately, I came across your name, I discovered that you bear the same surname with my late client and coincidentally, you are nationals of the same country. I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the Deceased since you are at an advantage, so that the proceeds of this Bank Account valued at US$19.3m Million Dollars can be paid to you. We shall both share the funds at any ratio you may suggest. I shall assemble all the necessary Legal Documents that will be used to back up our claim.

All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law. Please get in touch with me through this personal email box consciencechambers999@gmail.com to enable us discuss further.

Best Regards,

Barr. Marcus Wilson.
