One million United States Dollars for me??? Wow... now I can finish working forever, I can buy a Ferrari, I can buy a castle and maybe I can invite Mr. Bill Gates to a dinner with me...

I'm really curios to see if there are so stupid person in the world that can think that these types of emails are true... Dear Mrs Hillary, Promotion Manager  of the Microsoft Promotion Department: give me 1.000.000$ and I'll glad to go for a wonderful holiday with you, where you want...

Spam is a never ending story...

And I too just received the exact same email. I wonder...does microsoft realize they are using their name to perpetuate this scam? Maybe
I will just send them a copy and ask them why I cant be paid from here in the U.S. Afterall I am only 1 state away from Bill Gates.

Thanks for the blog.
