Because of my contributions to humanity, dontcha know.<BR/><BR/>All I have to do is reply and follow instructions, etc.<BR/><BR/>I put it on my blog, for the amusement and instruction of my Lebanese readers.<BR/><BR/>This FBI variation is better. Really.<BR/><BR/>I first saw a Nigerian letter back in the days before the internet when a NY public official I was working for received one by snail mail, on real paper. My boss had just been to Nigeria on a tour and I expect somebody there had gotten hold of one of the bazillion pamphlets he passed out about the agency he worked for; got his name and address and sent the letter.<BR/><BR/>Went to the circular file immediately. Even twenty years ago we knew better. Come on.

Or maybe, better than you want to. I think it's possible (though maybe difficult?) for inane or stupid company to be as destructive to your intellect as inane or stupid television, say.Beelarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15593065681242071073noreply@blogger.com
