My e-mail | 7/2/04 | Hatteras

Posted on 07/02/2004 3:00:18 PM PDT by Hatteras

I just thought I'd make the announcement here, first, on FreeRepublic so all my fellow Freepers can be envious. Just a few minor details to work out and I'll be off to Tahiti. Ahhh, I can't wait...

Here's the e-mail that I just received:

I got the same email and quickly deleted it. I thought I would let you have all of the money. I got three numbers on the powerball, two in the white and the powerball. I am going out to dinner with my meager winnings.

ONAS OMAR is an anagram for AS A MORON. I'd be cautious...

Congrats! If it were me, though, I'd go to Italy or England. Not that I really would have anything to see there, just to spend $$$ in countries that have supported us the most in Iraq.

But, that's just me....

(Then, I'd build a workshop and invent the functional lightsabre)

Of course I didn't read the article...just the headline and a tiny bit, so now I realize it is all a big joke..one of those darn e-mail scams.

Well sucks...I was excited for you for nothing. :(

I tried touting the fact I can cook last time, hence let me try something different this time.

I'm never late. If I am meeting someone at 8pm I'll be there ay 7.59pm. I also know the wonders of water and bodywash, as well as the importance of the subtly of any cologne worn. Moreover, I know the difference between a 40 ounce and fine bourbon.

(Sheepish grin).

Are there any other winners out there in Freeperville? If so, you're welcome to gloat with me. ;-)

Why are your wasting your time with these picayune lotteries like EURO WINS GAMES INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS

Ive won $US 5,500,000 from INTERNATIONALSWEEPSTAKES LOTTO

and $US2,500,000 in each of PROTEA GAMES SOUTH AFRICA drwas of 1ST MAY 2004, 5TH JUNE 2004

(also $US500,000 from The Euro-Afro America/Asian SweepstakeS Lottery - but I don't think I'll bother collecting. it's not more than pocket change)

Er, Hatteras. I hope for your sake this is ligit. But there have been other scams in the past. First place, they'd have to notify you by registered mail, wouldn't they? THAT makes it legit, not an email that can be hacked, tracked and sacked.
