Here's how you'll know Saddam is really dead. When you start getting e-mails like this: DEAR SIR/MADAM, I AM UDAY HUSSEIN, SON OF THE LATE HEAD OF STATE OF IRAQ, PRESIDENT SADDAM HUSSEIN. I AM CONTACTING YOU BASED ON THE CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER OF MY LIFE AND THAT OF MY FAMILY IN THE HANDS OF THE PRESENT AMERICAN-LED REGIME IT MAY INTEREST YOU TO NOTE THAT PRIOR TO THE DEATH OF MY FATHER, HE CALLED TO MY ATTENTION AND REVEALED TO ME A SECRET CASH DEPOSIT OF USD90M IN A SECURITY COMPANY. THIS PARTICULAR DEPOSIT IS THE ONLY ONE IN CASH FORM. THE REST OF THE MONEY TOTALLING ABOUT $1.5-2B USD ARE IN BANKS IN GERMANY AND FRANCE. THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT OF IRAQ HAS MANAGED ALONGSIDE THE GOVERNMENT OF AMERICA AND THE U K TO FREEZE THE SAID SECRET ACCOUNT WHERE THESE FUNDS ARE KEPT. I AM TELLING YOU THIS FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND THE URGENCY OF THIS MY MAIL NEEDS BEFORE THE LONG ARM OF THE AMERICANS CLOSE IN ON THE REMAINING FUNDS WHICH IS IN AMSTERDAM. I NEED YOUR WHOLE HEARTED COMMITMENT AND CONFIDENCE FROM YOU OR SOMEONE I CAN TRUST WHO CAN KEEP UTMOST SECRET TO ENABLE US REALISE THIS MONEY IN AMSTERDAM. MY FAMILY IS READY TO GIVE THE PERSON THAT IS GOING TO ASSIST US IN THIS TRANSACTION 20% OF THE TOTAL $90M AS HIS/ HER SHARE
PS - IF YOU SCREW THIS UP, I'LL BEAT THE SOLES OF YOUR FEET! HOW DARE YOU LOSE TO TURKMENISTAN! INFIDEL!
This is funny stuff. I get the fake one from the African guy about every three weeks. If my 401(k) tanks any more, it might start to look like a wise investment
