>>Beware everyone. Last week I received a scam about a man having a load of money tied up in a bank, after his father was murdered, and asking me if I want to help him get it out. This seemed to be the son of a white farmer who'd been dsipossessed of his land, in Zimbabwe.

>>I know what you're thinking - we ALL know of these scams. But this one had a difference: it was addressed personally to me (although the salutation wasn't) and arrived by snail mail, with a 2nd class stamp.

>>I haven't seen one of these for about 13 years!

>Hmmm, 13 years. . . hmmm. I'd say go ahead and try this, it could be real. I mean 13 has to be your lucky number.... I think you may have some sort of mojo going here, so I'm going to start forwarding all me Zimbabwe emails, along with the Nigerian ones to YOU!!!!

One of my points is that this is a costly scam, and a retrograde step, but if you want to mail all yours from the US to me ...

13 years was as estimate.

You really think this could be my lucky scam?!
