Have you had any wealthy relatives die lately?

So many of my unknown relatives have died

I didn't know or even cried.

They went to their fate all over the earth

Didn't even know we were related by birth.

All so wealthy with no wills made

Taxes and all their bills were paid.

I'm next of kin they tell me

Just contact them and big money I'll see.

Four times a day in my spam

No ones original with their scam.

Barristers,lawyers,accountants and such

Bank managers,associates it's just too much

Delete, delete here I go again

I'd shoot them all, but end up in the pen.

Now that I've got this off my chest

I need to lay down and take a rest

Blood pressure up,hissing and swearing

I know you all really aren't caring.

My frustrations I just had to share

Delete me, delete me, I don't care.

    I've gotten these, too. What aggravation! My family is notable for it's lack of money! Very good write about the most annoying of emails! Well done!

    If any of my relatives are wealthy none of them are admitting it.

    I do keep getting these e-mails from barristers in Nigeria, however, and it seems a lot of wealthy people are dying who are leaving no heirs. Perhaps the United States treasury could seize some of this wealth and end the recession.

    Spam is going to be the death of us all - you should see my mailbox. Made a small contribution ($20.00) to the Olympic Committee for a sweatshirt with the Olympic logo. Since then - every "cause" known or unknown to man - is requested money - they are nickel and diming me to death. What a lot of wasted paper and postage - for I am bone dry. No more charities can I support. Makes me want to push "abort". ♥

    Do what I do, I sent them a mail telling them that the King of Bongo Bongo land has left me $2.3 million, that I received a check for that amount only the week before signed by his banker El Zorro de Costa.

    Gotta play em at their own game girl.
