he's dying of cancer and he wants to distribute $10,000,000 through me.

I want to email back, "Cool! Let me know when you die!", SOOOO BAAAADDDDD but I know that would be a dumb thing to do.   =D

Ask him to take a photo with a jar of Marmite on his head to see if he is legit.

Would a bottle of HP sauce or a tin of Heinz Spotted Dick suffice?

Wait a minute.  I got the same e-mail.  Can there be two of them?  Or maybe he doesn't trust me completely.  He wants me to send him US$500 to pay his solicitor to arrange the legal matters for the transfer.  He needed my banking information too,  and I'm ready to e-mail it to him.

I got all the data together an hour ago and I'm sending it right now.

I included my PIN number, 6789, and my SSN, 078-05-1120, and my DOB, 03 September 1938.   And my mother's maiden name, O'Malley.

Oo-oo.  I'll be dancing from foot to foot waiting to hear back from him.

WHATEVER YOUR DEFINITION OF "INFRINGE " IS, YOU SHOULDN'T BE DOING IT.
