Well, at least accoring to the e-mail I have just received and I'm not meven American. I only have to pay $170 registration fee. Interesting how it originates from Yahoo in France and yet wants me to reply to Hotmail. I believe that Melania Trump speaks several languages and yet her command of English in this e-mail is lacking. Note the lack of capital letters and the fact that the sender has only 2 months to complete the "massage":

Would that be Pan Galactic Gargleblaster?
Just another scam, obviously.
This shouts SCAM louder than that Sonic Boom in Palm Springs this past week!
Run, don't walk away!
Report the BOGUS email as a Phishing scam to Yahoo & Hotmail!

Yes, thanks to Douglas Adams, but the full title would be too long.

I do that automatically to all SPAM and SCAMS.
Oh, interesting also that the writer writes "cheque" rather than the American "check".

Really? I hadn't thought of that.
"The whole world who voted him in"? Hilarious! Some real rookies wrote this one.
GARGLEBLASTER:
Boy! That is good news!
Thanks for the info but, I will not be able to pay you any ‘finder’s fee’/’kick-back’ due to the following stipulation.
“......not to share your cash with any agent once the delivery is done.”
Sorry!
BTW – What do I put in for, “next of king”?
Also, do you think it would be possible to ask them to use UPS in place of, ‘speed height delivery service’ .
I live in the boonies and I am not sure if ‘speed height delivery service ‘ will be able to find me.
Thanks for all you do!

Oh yes, my mother would be proud of me for figuring that out so quickly. LOL

I missed that election....I had to wait until November to vote, next time I'm voting in the August election!!!
But it's 200 million. Count the zeros. Why don't they know how much they are giving you?
