Can you believe it?

Holy Cow! I am totally rich! I just got an email, which somehow found it's way to my spam box. Spam? Really? According to this trustworthy email from Fedex, there is a package waiting for me from an undisclosed Nigerian colleague sender with a cash value of $800K and somehow that is spam??? I am wondering which company this "colleague" works for? I have only been working at my current company for a week. I didn't know that I had any coworkers in Nigeria, but it must be legitimate. I cannot believe my luck! I have copied the text of the email below as proof. Because I am feeling so generous, I have decided to share $1000 with each of you, my beloved readers if you follow these simple instructions. All I need is an email with the following information: 1) Your name 2) Your social security number (I swear it's secure with me!), 3) Your savings account number 4) Your birth date 5) Your address 6) The combination to your safe if you have one 7) The location of any valuables you may have in your home. 8) Any passwords that you might have for your home security system, bank accounts or computer 9) A check written to me, Rachel Kargas for $150 to secure your winnings.

It's that easy friends. Send an email with that information and you will receive a check for no less than $1000.00!
