Oh Joy

Just had an email from Mr. Hazel Tobassi and ( I can't believe it, nothing ever happens to me like this) he's only going to let me have 10% of $21,000,000 and just for sending him my bank details. Result!!Great start to the day.

Just told my boss to *%$£ off and I'm waiting for that big fat cheque.

Ok back to work losers :)

Rich!!

If I am honest I find those letters/faxes/telephone calls disgusting as although you are aware that it is a scam other more vunerable people may indeed hand their details over.

It would only take a 5 minute phone call for you to report it to the police just to inform them of what is happening in your area.

And I've just had a letter telling me that someone of the same surname as me has died in unforseen circumstances in China and as a result his brokers are trying to find the right person to pass the $12,000,000 on to.  Just a pity the surname of the deceased and mine are spelt differently.  But I'm sure they're right, so as the boss I've told my employees to %$@* off and gone home.

You lucky people.

All I ever get are emails asking me to update my security information on bank accounts at banks I didnt even know I banked with.

Still, now you are so rich I'm sure you will want to do your bit for the profession, like funding a retirement home for worn out accountants.

If you were an honest god fearing christian promoting goods works, such as my goodself, you'd probably find yourself being left millions by rich american widows who wish you to continue their christian charity when they pass on, after they've done a throrough search of the planet for just such a person.

Strangely though I don't recall the last time I was in church (for religious reasons at least) and am told by my father that I peed in the font last time he recalls me being there!

Also being ex-HMRC I'm sure the other side view me as more in their camp than in the wings and halos brigade.

The only emails I get are for 80% off Viagra and unlimited access to Russian ladies.

Still, that's my next holiday sorted......

I don't get any of these emails. I suppose it's back to work for me.

Hazel Tobassi sounds like an anagram of something horrible...were I you I'd have held out for 15% as 10% was obviously his opening gambit..too late now...

WD/CD my friend was going through a difficult time in his marriage and I think felt the need to "impress" as it were...he's divorced now...

it is true that Robin Hood is dead however I think the claims made were more in the context of my friend becoming an even more fine upstanding person in the manner of a 3 legged stool ...

Ah, gentlemen, you took me back to the halcyon days of 2002 and brought a nostalgic tear to my eye. This post prompted me to hunt back through our archives to dust off The Born Dull?! guide to internet business opportunities. This article was stimulated by a spate of lucrative approaches that spring including "The Laurent Kabila memorial fund", "The Ivory Coast cattle medicine switch" and "The great Seaman bequest chase".

If only I'd been quicker off the mark I might not have ended up here, nearly eight years later, still tapping away at a computer keyboard at 6.30pm on a Thursday evening.

Yours, still looking for the next main chance...

Me too

Apparently one of my uncles died recently in Nigeria or China - can't remember which.

As I am female and my surname is my husband's name and not my birth name, I did wonder how he could be my uncle, but it seemed so convincing that I too will be handing in my notice....

I did actually have one genuine inheritance.

cymraeg_draig | | Permalink

 

A client passed away and made me executor of the Will. Also left me a very generous gift for doing it. See, there are some nice clients around.

 

Still, I must be wealthy, judging by the number of bank accounts with online security issues I apparently have.

Given the current oil exploration in the Falklands Im kind of hoping to find a long lost uncle with a sheep farm down there, preferably just where they want to pipe the oil ashore :)

that took me back...happy days when we were not all so cynical about all these great philanthropists who want to share their good fortune and happiness...

these things go back to the old testament and all the internet has done is save them a postage stamp....had a client donkeys years ago who were desperate for dosh and who against all our protestations for sanity got hooked into something called "the gold corporation" that promised untold riches from a previously undiscovered mine worth £squillions..you've can guess the outcome...

... that of comedy writers! seriously .. not a dull moment reading all those responses above.

Now I know why after speaking to me for a while, people touch their chins, look at me in wonder and exclaim, "Hey, you don't look like an accountant, you don't talk like an accountant...  you are NOT an accountant!" 

Have a nice weekend.

thats what a lot of my clients say to me....I've always viewed it as a solemn duty to do my bit in what I suspect is an ultimately doomed and futile attempt to dispel the unfortunately correct impression that most beancounters are like a cross between John Major and Vince Cable on mogodon...

Have a good weekend guys
