I literally can’t believe my luck!

> Congratulations you made it! For the first time in history the underground secret millionaire society responsible of turning over 384 average Joes into INSTANT millionaires is now opening up his doors again!

The society is so secret they can’t tell me precisely how many average Joes have walked through **his** doors… but to give a rough ballpark estimate, it’s something over 384. And sorry, ladies – I guess a society that takes a masculine pronoun doesn’t care to help the average Janes.

Truly this is my lucky day. After all, it’s not every day that something happens for the first time in history, again. And if you had asked me to guess how quickly I could become an **INSTANT** millionaire, I’d never have believed it could happen in as little as 6 months.

Come to think of it, I still don’t.

Making money for FREE! That sounds foolproof!

Wait… are you saying you are not going to jump on this amazing opportunity? If not, can I please have your spot. I’ll gladly supply you with my banking information, social security number, mother’s maiden name, or any other information you need so I can become a millionaire in as little as 6 months.

It isn’t to Mr. Mgembe in Nigeria was it? He never got back to me after I sent him the cheque to cover the transfer expenses. That’s twice now dammit. I sure hope he gets the one I sent this week.

That Mgembe is a Fraud Artist! He has played this scam on literally hundred of people. Lucky for you, I am a trained fraud investigator, and I will be able to get your money back for you. All I require is an initial deposit (which you will of course receive back), and you can be guaranteed that I will get BOTH of your cheques back. Using all modalities.
