Having recently heard via email that I am the beneficiary of a £1.6 million estate, it strikes me that if you genuinely wanted to give away a vast fortune on the internet, you couldn't because no one would believe you.
Or am I wrong?

sort out a new email address, forward the message to it then reply to it from the new email address and ask a few details to check for names of relatives etc to see if it is genuine. There is always a teeny weeny chance that it may be genuine as i once watched the tv prog "Heir Hunters" where they were searching for relatives of dead people who had left estates behind without wills etc and as well as using mailing lists, voters rolls and GRO for info, they always sent an email to an email address they came across in their search. It may be someone who has passed away and has an email of yours in an address book and thats what they may be going on.......then again of course......

Royal Mail shares for instance sound as good as ducatis windfall, the ordinary Royal Mail user will be screwed yet again as they were with gas electricity and all the other privatised utilities. Beware the NHS could be next and the lib dems have not the clout to stop them.

Paranoia is alive and well. Watch as the Royal Mail flourishes unfetered by the lack of investment and public enterprise syndrome.
