upon. How many of you have received an email personally from the highly esteemed Mr Laddi Omar, who works With The Bill & Exchange Department Of African Development Bank (ADB) Ouagadougou Annex Office, Burkina Faso? Huh, have you? Not only Mr Laddi, but even Mr Bukkake from Nigeria sent me a mail promising me, hold your breath, 110 million US Dollars, for just transferring some idiotic Billionaire's money - who died in a plane crash without making a will - into my bank account! Obviously there is something about me, right?!
And what about the International Online Lottery? Does it surprise you that I also won 50 Million Dollars in that lottery, conducted in Spain, on the same day as I received the above 2 emails? So what if I have never ever participated or bought a lottery ticket online? They still managed to run a draw on my email ID and obviously lady luck was smiling on me in full glory.
And pssst...for my old age, I have already saved a contact called Cynthia, who can maybe foresee that in 20 something years, I would need...er...a little blue pill, and lots of it. Otherwise why would she, from all the goodness of her heart, offer me loads and loads of Viagra for only $3.65?!
I am so humbled with all this attention, adulation, riches and glory that I am getting now. I sincerely thank god and my lucky stars that I am the chosen one. Thank You Lord and Thank You Gmail!
Oh Wait! I just received a mail from ACCESS AMERICA. Apparently there are some unclaimed funds for me. WOW, I just cannot believe my luck!
