Hi
I'm new to the forum but thought you might like this e-mail which I have just received:

FROM MISS GLADYS WILLIAMS

Dearest one,

Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business
relationship with you. I must not hesitate to confide in
you for this simple and sincere business . I am miss Gladys
Williams.the only daugther of late Mr.and Mrs. Samuel
Justina Williams. My father was a very wealth cocoa
merchant in Abidjan, the economic capital of Ivory coast,
my father was poisoned to death by his business associates
on one of their outings on a business trip. My mother died
when I was a baby and since then my father took me so
special.

Before the death of my father on November 2003 in a private
hospital herein Abidjan he secretly called me on his bed
side and told me that he has the sum of Six million,five
hundred thousand United State Dollars. USD($6.500,000) left
in a private security safe house in Abidjan, that the money
was carefully parked in a silver metalique box and was
sealed and deposited as family treasures and not cash to
the sec

Canda,
This is pure gold: at the least, you can sell the film rights - this is so OTT it is brilliant.
It starts off like "Middlemarch", moves through Jane Austen & then explodes into Ian Fleming: wow! French education doesn't turn them out like this. (Maybe we should have moved to Africa........?)
I envy you.
Welcome!
Best,
Alexia.
