I’m going to have some lunch and then come back and look for the answer.

Doesn’t matter. Old news.

Hawk sure knows how to get his message across…I’ve always wanted him part of the Cubs’ organization. He’s a true leader. And scary as hell lol.

I just got this e-mail and I’m not sure what to do…

Dear Partner, I am sagnant mark an attorney at law. A deceased client of mine that shares the same last name as yours, who here in after shall be referred to as my client, died as the result of a heart-related condition on the 1st October 2004. His heart condition was due to the death of all the members of his family in the Gulf Air Flight Crashes in Persian Gulf Near Bahrain Aired August 23, 2000 -2:50 p.m. ET as reported on: http ://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0008/23/bn.08.html.

I have contacted you to assist in distributing the money left behind by my client before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Finance company where this deposit valued at Twenty Seven million Two hundred Thousand sterling British pounds (GBPЈ27.2 million pounds) is lodged. This Finance company has issued me a notice to contact the next of kin, or the account will be confiscated.

My proposition to you is to seek your consent to present you as the next-of-kin and beneficiary of my named client, since you have the same last name, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you. Then we can share the amount on a mutually agreed-upon Percentage. All legal documents to back up your claim as my client’s next-of-kin will be provided. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through. This will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from many breach of the law.

If this business proposition offends your moral values, do accept my apology. I must use this opportunity to implore you to exercise the utmost indulgence to keep this matter extraordinary confidential, whatever your decision, while I await your prompt response. I will like you to acknowledge the receipt of this e-mail: as soon as possible and as well treat with absolute confidentiality and sincerity. I await the pleasure of your response. Best regards, sagnant mark

On the one hand, I’m probably breaking some kind of fraud/identity law by passing myself off as the dead guy’s next of kin even if I have the same last name (wow – what are the odds…). But on the other hand, we’re talking about over $39M!!!

Man, this is a tough one… what do you guys think I should do?
