What should I wear to the check presentation?
Do you think Bill and Melinda will be there?
Can I borrow some money for the plane fare over?
Joe(I'd like to thank all the little people,,,)Nation
Ack! It's Craven Park, the secret European Hamster Hideaway!
When do we get ours?
We made you what you are.
How does one know that such a thing is not for real?
Or
Congrats, Joe.
make sure to put it all into a nigerian bank account.
Those people are very helpful when it comes to getting americans to sign up for their banks!
there's been some sort of mistake here... or they're giving out more than one prize... because I have received exactly the same email....
As a proud recipient of a Republican Leadership Award I congratulate you on your good fortune!
I hope your newfound wealth allows you ample time to relax and consider the ways that the Republican party can help you keep what is rightfully yours.
I complement you on your keen intelligence in realizing that an AOL sponsored contest using a hotmail account for replies was just a tricky test to weed out undesirable people. You passed! I think you have what it takes to be a Republican Leadership Award recipient. I will nominate you today!
Your fellow (wink, wink) Republican Leadership Award recipient,
boomerang
Omigod I'm so jealous!
I admit I was the teensiest bit suspicious as I was reading, but then I saw who it was from -- Dr. Olivia Holland. If she's a DOCTOR, she must be telling the truth. Plus she has such a fine upstanding British name, none of that Nigerian dishonesty going on here obviously.
Congratulations!!
Joe(won the lottery)Nation is lucky he just got one of those. I'm getting two-three every day that I report as SPAM, but they still continue to come. HELP!

Depressing really, if you think about it. You pursue and finish your PhD, and what do you become? Head Customercare Service!
Oh no wait, that means it must be for real.. if theyve got dr.'s even just as head of customer care!
"There's a sucker born every minute..." Barnham.
I was gonna toss mine. Dya think its forreal? really? really real?. Uh, the small print says itwill be payed off in 30 annual installments of 1/30th 500000 Great Britain pounds. Thats like , not as much when you think about it. I Will still have to keep working, my dog nd cat food bill is bigger than that.
What are you feeding your cats and dogs? Caviar?
The thing I like about this one is it's earnestness:
The prestigious Microsoft and AOL has set out and successfully organised a Sweepstakes marking the end of year anniversary we rolled out over 100,000.000.00 (One Hundred Million Great Britain Pounds) for our new year Anniversary Draws.
The prestigious. wow. (and both) Microsoft and AOL ---double wow! HAS(oops sic) set out and successfully organised a Sweepstakes. (Wowie, two major corporation managed to operate a drawing!! How did they do it?)
What's a new year Anniversary?
Joe(I am donating all the winnings I get to a Foundation)Nation
The foundation of my huge frigging mansion, yo.!
My grandmother on my mothers side was always saying things in Polish. One of them ws
"Mie Wolny ser szote jescht jednyny in majs jadaczka"
"One can only get free cheese from a mouse trap"
Why do the Polish have all the best sayings?
The church is near but the roads are icy.
The bar is far, but I am a very careful walker.
Americans can only come up with stuff like this:
Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons.
Woody Allen
Joe(he's right, you know)Nation
I'm a little bit surprised that an employee of both Microsoft and AOL would have only a hotmail address.
I'm not doubting it's real though! Of course it is! I'm just surprised, that's all
Good luck, Joe and remember your friends.
it must be nice to win all that money. so far, i've only won a porsche, a bimmer, and a ferrari. I haven't claimed them yet, because they ddn't say what color they are so that i can do my nails and select outfit accordingly.
i'm happy that our a2k peeps are so succesful. finally the justice is getting done.
