Bill Gates sent ME a personal email!!!

I get this kind of spam every day, but somehow I thought this was really funny. Who would ever think this is real?

Dear Beloved Christian,

Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ!!,I am William (Bill) H. Gates III is co-founder, chairman and chief executive officer of Microsoft Corporation, the world's leading provider of software for personal computers.

My father William H. Gates II is a Seattle attorney and WILLED to me in cash; the sum of $21,900,000.00(Twenty one Million Nine Hundred United States Dollars),I packaged it in consignments and deposited it with a finance house.

After my prayers, I searched a Christian site in the internet, I found your email address and I decided to contact you for the usage of the funds in your Ministry. Therefore, child of God, if you are honest and faithful enough to use this fund strictly for the work of God and to help the less
privileges, your response will be highly appreciated.

Yours in His Vineyard,
William (Bill) H. Gates
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Microsoft Corporation


Any suggestions on how I should spend the dough?

I've been getting stuff like this for the last few days. It kind of gets your heart going for a second so it's kind of fun.

Wow! I only get emails from the exiled King of Nigeria. I gave him my bank account info, but so far haven't heard anything. Fingers crossed!
