I write to you because I intend to give to you some portion of my Bank
net-worth which I have been putting away for a long time. I want to
cede it to you for charity purpose. If ready, reply to me for further details.

With love,
Liliane Bettencourt

MY REPLY:

Oh, hello Liliane. This is quite a pleasure indeed! I've heard many great things
about you. I must say your grasp of English is unexpected and beautifully crafted.

I would LOVE to have some of your net worth. I cannot, however, promise that
I will give any of it to charity, as I seem to have an enormous gambling problem.
If this is not an issue for you, please tell me how I should proceed.

With great respect and anticipation,
-Your new pal... RN

"HER" REPLY:

Dear Friend,

I appreciate you for writing back as I have expected. I got your email from a web journal and felt strongly to write to you. As I earlier introduced myself, I am Lillian Bettencourt, daughter of the late Louise Madeleine Berthe. I am a French Citizen, 91 years old, and worth $30.5 Billion Dollars. You can also confirm from:

The intention of this email is to be of immense blessing to people. With my age, I cannot continue to amass wealth without giving out. I might not have the liberty of time due to my ailment (Dementia), therefore, I am doing this now.

I have handed all my wealth to my only daughter, but there is part of it which nobody is aware of. I have been putting it away for this purpose since a long time now. I would be happy to cede it out to you. I would have done this myself but for my health reason and if I do it through my daughter, I am very certain she will not help anyone with it. She took me to court the last time I gave out money out of generosity. It is my hope that you are able to receive this money and help others from it too.

10% of my worth I have been putting away in a private deposit for a long time now and it has reached an amount of $30,500,000.00. I am trying to cede this money in portions through the bank I deposited it to as many as can benefit from it because I do not really have much to do with it. As I send this message to you, I am also sending to others too. I sent to churches, Orphanages, and individuals, 10% to you and others each to whom I have contact with already.

Now, all this being said, if you know you are ready to receive the funds $3,500,000.00 (Three Million, Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars). Kindly introduce yourself in details to me then will I give you a letter to receive your portion of the money from the bank. This is my personal money and does not need many formal procedures, some beneficiaries have received theirs. My only terms is that you be good to others too, that's all. Please make it fast because I have only a few days to use a computer since the doctors have given instructions to stop me from the use of electronics.

As I wait for your response, I wish you a wonderful day.

Faithfully,
Lillian Bettencourt

at the bolded. Well, that's all the confirmation I needed. Here's my bank info!


So what's the play here? Whomever has the funniest idea, I'll roll with it.

"Dearest Lillian, please PM shuke."

Asspenny

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Tell her to give it to you in HEMP stock

 

[shadyridr]

Or bitcoins

 

[Raider Nation]

I should tell her/him my name is Mike Francesa, and tell them to call WFAN every day between 1-6.

Play up the gambling angle. You are extremely relieved to hear that perhaps there's no need for formality as you need the money ASAP. Would it be possible to deliver some small part of it immediately via Western Union -- as your bookie has threatened to break your leg and you can't have such large sums being transferred in and out of your account without raising the suspicion of the authorities and your wife.

Liliane, I would very much like to send you all of my banking information, but in order to fully gain my trust, it will be necessary for you to have sex with me.

Liliane, I would very much like to send you all of my banking information, but in order to fully gain my trust, it will be necessary for you to have sex with me.

Tell her you would love to send her your banking info but you would like to see a sample of some of her work in porn first. Ask specifically for some annal action which you have read very positive reviews about.

"My friend timschochet from the internet says this sounds fishy."

 

[Raider Nation]

Or I could pull a Rick Harrison.

"You want to give me $3,500,000??? Do you know how long that's gonna sit in my house? And then I'll have to have it framed..."

D'abord, comment-allez vous?

 

[Raider Nation]

D'abord, comment-allez vous?

That's an idea though. I should forward the mail to Yandek.

Dear Mrs. Bettencourt-

God has sent me a blessing in your correspondence. You see, I too, am elderly, 78 years young and I only have $27,542 (Twenty seven thousand five hundred and forty two dollars) to my name in my bank account(s). Your opportunity brings tears of joy to me. I would love nothing ore than to purchase the latest Bryant Boat for my 17 grand children, 8 grandchildren, and 6 children.

I anticipate your response.

I wish you a blessed day,

RN

I like the Rick angle. Tell her 3.5mil isn't enough for the gambling habit you've got.
