i got this im my gmail a few min ago..has the ultimate bullshit factor to it..



Dear friend,

As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me because I believe
everyone will die someday. My name is Thomas Lawson, a business merchant in
Dubai, in the U.A.E. I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer which was
discovered very late, due to my laxity in caring for my health. It has
defiled all forms of medicine, and right now I have only about a few months
to live, according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life
so well, as I never really cared for anyone not even myself but my business.
Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people
and only focus on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But
now I regret all these as I now know that there is more to life than just
wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe if I will have
a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way
from how I have lived it. Now that I have been called, I have willed and
given most of my properties and assets to my immediate and extended family
members and as well as a few close friends. I want my sins to be forgiven
and my soul being accepted. I have decided to give alms to charity
organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on
earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the
U.A.E, Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I
cannot do this myself any more. I once asked members of my family to close
one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity
organizations in Bulgaria and Pakistan, they refused and kept the money to
themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be
contended with what I have left for them. The last of my money which no one
knows of is the huge cash deposit of Twenty Five Million United States
Dollars ($25,000,000.00) in consignment which I deposited in form of my
valuable property with a secrity and finance firm. I will want you to help
me collect this deposit and dispatch it to charity organizations.

As soon as you respond to me of your readiness, I will provide details to
you.

I have set aside 10% for you for your time and patience.

I await your prompt response.

God bless you,

Thomas Lawson.

Same as the "I'll pay you for what you are selling, send me the difference" scam. Anyone can say they are a foundation and receive money, so they are trying to scan you into cashing their forged checks and send the money out. I feel sorry for anyone who falls for one of those.

OH man, those are the worst. I do report spam when those come up and it filters out anymore that might come to my gmail.

DUDE, give me the info to respond to him. I will totally distribute his money for $2.5 million. I don't know about you, but I have been waiting my whole life for an oppurtunity like this.
