Yet again I find The Lady busy picking out a new flat screen TV, a new car with GPS and a 86 boxes of red cedar shingles so we can finish reshingling the house.
"Annie....I REALLY think that we have won something fabulous!" she says. Look.....this is what I see her reading in yet another email
Dear Friend,
I did not hear from you since for your Confirmable check of $1.2m USD, which i kept for I went and deposited it with FEDEX, so contact them.
Contact Person: Mr. Robert White
Email Address:(fedexex.press@rocketmail.com)
Tel/FAX: +229 93169680
I paid for the delivering Charges except their Security Keeping Fee of $185 USD which they said no because they don't know when you will contact them in case of demurrage.so you are to pay the $185 as soon as you contact them.
Regards,
Dr william
So I glace at her sideways, start to walk away in disgust and then decide to take another approach. I turn around and first have to explain to her what demurrage is because I know that she does not have a clue.
Demurrage-
1 : the detention of a ship by the freighter beyond the time allowed for loading, unloading, or sailing
2 : a charge for detaining a ship, freight car, or truck
I then point out a few logical facts.
Would someone giving you 1 million refer to himelf as Dr william?
Are you a tad concerned with the SECURITY KEEPING FEE? Have you heard of one?
Their telephone AND fax are the same phone number but yet they have all this money for you? Can't afford 2 phone lines?
What is a confirmable Check? Should we confirm that it is a check?
With the sails taken out of her wings that we are not rich she now tosses her hair around, sticks her chin out and pretends that she is concentrating on the stock market ticker.........which she has no idea really what half of them are and feels it moves too fast anyway. With a big pathetic sign she says "Annie, I guess you are right.....there is no million dollars."
That's right Virginia......there is no Santa Clause!!!
