How special that with nearly 13,500 people in the U.S. with my name, Mr. Stephens chose me to help him out. Bad grammar and misspelled words included as per original communiqué.
| Subject: Response Urgently Needed
My Dear Friend, Greetings: My name is Mr. George Stephens, as an accountant in a bank; I contacted you to work together with me in claiming my late client estate. Unfortunately he died without a registered next of kin and as such the funds now have an open beneficiary status. You could be made the beneficiary as you shear the same last name with him. This has officially transferred the right to you, as no other person from his family knows anything about this fund with our bank.If you are interested in working with me, please get back to me as quickly as possible so that I give you the details of what we are to do. I wait for your prompt response so that I can give you more briefing of what you need to and how to do it. Thanks for your co-operation. Best regards, Mr. George Stephens. |
I feel sorry for anyone who really does have an e-mail address of george_steve6@hotmail.com, as that’s what he provided as the “reply-to” e-mail address.

I meant to capture this yesterday. On the way in to work, on I-40, I saw this bumper sticker, which I just loved:
| It's 'nü-klE-&r. |
I particularly like the color allusion to this bumper sticker:
I worked at Service-Learning for two hours today. A guest, Dani, from the University of Alaska was in the office today, as was Alissa, Myra, and Patti. I got the Session 2B/2C and Session 3B/3C thing cleared up.
They ordered food from Baja Burrito, which arrived shortly before I left. Looked good! Love that place!
I had a turkey burger and a half a cucumber for dinner tonight, and then napped for an hour-and-a-half before dancing.
At 9:00, besides Geromy, me, Van, and Gary (the bartender) there were two other people in the bar. Ernie came at 9:10. At 9:15, the number of dancers doubled as Carl, Bill, and Steven arrived at the same time.
There were very few bar patrons all night long. At 11:00, we all left — except Van who said, “Shit, I have another hour to go.”
