Just when I thought I may have to get a job, this email arrived...

   | Good day, 
 My apologies for this unsolicited mail as I am aware that
 this is certainly an unconventional approach to establishing a
 relationship. However I will definitely accept your decision should
 this proposal not appeal to you.
 
 I am Mr.Cole Harrolds, an Auditor to
 a Financial Institution here in England. During the course of auditing
 for this year, I discovered a floating fund, £4,257,017.00 (Four
 Million, Two Hundred and Fifty-Seven Thousand,Seventeen Pounds). This
 amount is deposited in a corporate account #0234756 belonging to Pax-
 Morgan Industry, owned by an Industrialist, Dr. Edson Proffitt.
 
 This
 account has not been operated since 2002 and our records indicate that
 Dr. Edson Proffittis dead. Other of his personal accounts have been
 closed down,leaving this Corporate Account #0234756, as it was not
 listed on his WILL which was submitted to the bank.
 
 I seek therefore,
 your interest and consent to present you as the new Managing director
 of Pax-Morgan Industry, to claim this fund, preventing it from being
 frozen or misappropriated. With your consent, I will arrange the
 documentation in your favor and present you as the only available
 closest relative and my bank contacts will authorize the bank to pay
 the fund into your account. I will use the influence and position of my
 collaborators in the bank to obtain all legal approvals for onward
 transfer of this money to your nominated account.
 
 At the conclusion of
 this transaction, I believe to last about 10 Working days, all
 documents relating to this transaction will be destroyed, leaving no
 trace of the money to you. The money will be shared, as we must have
 agreed before commencing.
 
 If I do not receive your reply within one
 week of this mail, I will understand that you are not interested and
 will definitely respect your decision in this regard as there will be
 no follow-up communication to you unless otherwise.
 
 Once more, my
 sincere apologies for your time.
 
 Yours Sincerely,
 Mr.Cole Harrolds.

    ...as soon as I get my FOUR MILLION pounds, I'll buy everyone a drink or 20. 
 Can't say fairer than that.
