2004/09/17: "「Congratulations!」って言われてもね・・・。"

最近はジンバブエやコートジボワールなどに住む未亡人たちからの「Help!」メールがすっかり来なくなって、ちょっと寂しい思いをしていたら、今度は下記のような儲け話が飛び込んで来て、すっかり有頂天になっています。
でも、Ten Million United States Dollarsと言いながらも$10,000,000,00.USDというカンマ区切りも怪しげですが、メールの内容が漠然としていて理解できないところに工夫があるんでしょうね。　しかも「2nd category」ってとこが奥ゆかしくて泣かせます。
で、例によって決り文句の「you should keep your winning information confidential...」です。 ってことはこんな所に書いちゃいけないんだ・・・。
