By the way, Im currently researching banks in Africa. And this bank pobably doesn't exsist??? IDK, Ill get back with results.

Haha, are you serious? Of course it's just spam. Don't ever fall for stuff like this. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

I've researched banks in africa and the bank exsists, but Im still not sending no information in.

lol, he says massage instead of message, LOL

^ I was just going to say that

Please, we have seen this type of e-mail now for, let's see, about TEN freaking years. Welcome to the internet, kiddo.

I don't even believe the emails that my parents send me now. Instead of 'inbox' all people really need are 'spam boxes'.

Besides, out of all of the people to give that much money to, don't you think they would have used it for helping their own benefit?

It's still fun to read though.

I edited aol so when it says... "You've got mail" now I recorded myself and edited it so now it says... "You've got spam".

You, sir, are an idiot.
