Same thing happens to me Brad . The guys up North in Africa must think I
live in the US as well . Get a lot of unsolicited mail from African
countries like Nigeria . Huge scam me thinks . Especially If you see how
many of them are actually starving at this stage .
BTW if I had a cousin etc. who died and left me a bundle , I wouldn't have
had to occasionally beg for a used unwanted Triumph part or two :-)

Subject: Re: Joke / humour : ADVANTAGES OF BEING SOUTH AFRICAN!
Chris,
You missed another apparent great advantage of living in Africa. It
would seem that a significant portion of your country are
multi-millionaires. I base that on the now almost weekly e-mails both
Kristi and I get, un requested, offering us 20% of their estate if we
will serve as their contact in the States and help them transfer their
$10, 20, 30+ million. Lot of death though in your country, as each
e-mail starts off with "My (dad, mom, cousin, etc.), just died and left
me a bundle,,,,,
*S*
Brad
