Now that’s what I call profiling

In my inbox today, I received the following email. Now, I didn’t want to leap to any conclusions, so with my heart pounding and my brow furrowed I read right to the end.

  1. My uncle died too!! He also has the same attorney and 8 million dollars!! What puzzled me is that he mentioned my “uncles” wife and kids, and the fact that he’s a “snr”. Now why doesn’t he just let them have that inheritance??
    Oh well thanks for clearing it all up for me. Good think I didn’t buy that ticket to Africa!
