I am torn - in a quandary.

It isn't often that I'm offered both wealth and sex in one e-mail, but Farida Waziri writes:

I strongly know that they will never tell you the truth because they are all thieving criminals. I have decided with my veto power that you must receive one third of your principle fund which is US$20.5m (Twenty million five hundred united states dollars) to ascertain really whom I am.

I expect your prompt response through my private.

Regards,

Mrs Farida Waziri

 

 So - should I investigate her private; promptly?

I have decided with my veto power: yes. Message through her private and find out whom she really is.

Only once you've ascertained that her husband isn't around with three other men. :S

That's written with more import and alacrity than some of the crap I have to sift through.

Over the past couple of weeks we've been getting spam sent to:

firstname.lastname@ourdomain.co.uk

And the content is just a single lower case letter. It's like they're not even trying anymore :C.

That said, I saw an email in the filter this morning advocating some accountancy firm and it came with a little riddle.

Anyone care to have a go over your morning cup o' tea?

If seven becomes 40, three becomes 0, and eight becomes 55, then what does one become?

what Ant said ^

but ~

7 x 7 = 49 - 9 = 40

3 x 3 = 9 - 9 = 0

8 x 8 = 64 - 9 = 55

and...
1 x 1 = 1 - 9 = -8
