    Well... following on from Big Gordy's amazing Lottery luck earlier this week, I received the following email this morning..
    Now, I *KNOW* it can't possibly be a scam, because as my new African buddy says.. he is " Head of the Africa Union Finance Group, set up to fight against scam and fraudulent activities worldwide."
    I'm almost tempted to email them back right away with all my personal details and bank account numbers so i can get my hands on my "long awaited fund" He's right you know.. I've been waiting *Aaaages* for my $8.3Million...

    I wonder if whoever sent this actually understands half the words in the text?

    favour via my desk.

    Don't they ever realise that the Email address they give to reply to doesn't match up wit the company?
