I dunno....it looks legit to me. :D
 
You do and callers begging for money will never let you alone if legit.
 
All one has to do is look at the grammar and spelling. Does anyone really think this is legit??? I've got prime swamp land in Florida I'll sell you for $5M, no problem!

Sentence structure and grammar mistakes. Has a middle east flavor to it...
 
There trying hard as hell I've seen a lot of these . But this one is just funny they should of said $1,000,000 would have been more believable . Oh wait Bill gates doesn't give money away that's why he works to make it still. I liked the one that says the Prince of (fill in the blank) has so much oil and money that he wants to give it all to you all he needs is you to send him $1000.00 to cover the shipping cost for his money to be shipped to you. Yes so generous isn't he .
 
You are lucky. I always get the prince who needs me to send him my account number or whatever.
 
You know the old saying "It sounds to good to be true" then it probably is!
 
After replying you will receive a request to send money or bank account information. This will surely get you the 5 million dollars deposited directly to your account. Oh by the way after getting your name and number they will ask for a social security number so they can generously pay the tax for you... LOL.. What could you possibly loose...
