I got a first class letter today, it's from a law firm in Toronto. I have the same last name as a fellow that died on the job.

$7,520,000 US even.. I may have it all to myself, my wife says if I respond, she's leaving.



I'll need to shop for a new boat, and motor, what do you all recommended?

First class mail with a stamp and everything? Wowsers.

What do you mean a boat? Surely you meant boats.

There appears to be a law firm in Toronto with that name.

I'll need a new cabin to, an entire island perhaps?

Sure you fellows have your fun, scuff if you like. I'll hire 5's as a chauffer, I'll tell him to honk the horn when we pass you in my stretch limo, pulling my yacht behind. If I'm awake, I may, roil the black side window down part way, and give a little wave.

Wow! I never thought this would happen to me.

I see my relative did live in Niagara, nothing about him being a prince.

Well, I hope it's at least partly true and not a case of misidentity.

I know right? Imagine if it was really just an attempt to scam him out of his money? Good thing this isn’t anything like that.

Apparently boomers are still falling for that 20 year old scam, since the letters are still going out.

Now you’re thinking like a sinner...Good for you!

Get that money, and if they come looking for it, claim you have dementia. We’ll support that diagnosis.

I might hire a diver to put fish on my hook when fishing is slow otherwise. He''ll have to stay submerged all day, that way I'll be surprised when I get a strike.

I've had a trophy wife since December 67, My boat is good enough, I might invest in Enron, or the Drake Estate.

It's a teaser, it looks real enough, however, "if it sounds too good to be true".

Wabi see if you can still google up “Nigerian Scam Buster”. That’ll make you laugh out loud while reading it.

That’s been quite a while back.
