What a Great Investment Opportunity!

We are in a land of great opportunity. And the invention of email has given way to a plethora of even MORE wonderful opportunities!

When I am not being notified that I just won the Nigerian Lottery, I get opportunities to help widows of important political figures invest hundreds of thousands of millions dollars in safe accounts. In return, I am offered thousands of dollars for my time.

They always ask if they can completely trust me (see #4 below), which leads me to believe that I MUST be able to completely trust them. It is a no-brainer, right?

Below is a copy of one of the many emails that I get on a weekly basis. I am one lucky woman…
