You have been choosen By the Board of trustees of the UNITED NATIONS as a winner of $500,000.00. being awarded to you on Monday 06, April, 2009. Contact Dr. Henry Mccartney on email address below to claim your grant. What complete and utter tossers these twats are!

I think this scammer might be on to a sure bet, the shallow end of the IQ pool looks as though it has some live ones just waiting to be hooked and rolled aboard. Shall we give them a clue folks? Just a tiny teeny weeny clue? Here’s some help:<\/p>\n
