lottery inheritance 4-1-9 hybrid

Post by notorial dissent »

I'm sure we're all familiar with the standard 419 all purpose generic all purpose inheritance/remittance/invoice style email by now that inevitably starts out with "Dear" where they are supposed to choose the style of email and fill in the name after the Dear, and of course never do since they probably can't even read the email they are sending out. This seems to be a blending of two unrelated styles, the lottery and inheritance scams, where in this case in order to get the inheritance you have to have won the lottery the ever so good attorney has just run on behalf of his client. Thought it was a giggle when I got it and would share.
