Loved or duped

This week my Spam box is crammed with emails from around the world.

        This week my Spam box is crammed with emails from around the world. How could I have known that I am recognized globally or that I have the privilege of becoming the recipient of millions of dollars, should I so desire? Ah, such unrealized riches at my fingertips.

        As for the content of this onslaught of correspondence, I've been notified of the importance of my personal safety. For example, I've been warned that patriots are being targeted and I need to take action. I wonder, as a loyal Canadian, could I be at risk?  Nationality aside, I'm even being asked for my opinion on U.S. military and financial matters. Phew, I really have achieved world-wide recognition.

        Speaking of financial matters, it's astounding how much I can collect from deceased rulers, preachers and government officials; even with the lowered Canadian dollar it sounds like I'm eligible to collect billions within hours of responding to these generous offers. And to think that I've always considered myself an unnoticed and relatively unimportant individual in our global population.

         With tongue firmly in cheek, I must pass on the most convincing epistle of all. I'm sure the grammatical errors were meant to throw corrupt Bank officials off. I quote, as received: This is to intimate you of a very important information which will be of a great help to redeem you from all the difficulties you have been experiencing in getting your long over due toexcessive demand for money from you by both corrupt Bank officials and Courier Companies after which your fund remain unpaid to you. And to think, all they ask in return is my personal identification and bank account number.

       "Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." (Ephesians 6:11)

        God loves, He doesn't steal!
