Holy Shit! I was named in Dennis Thatcher's will!
I'm getting 950,000 pounds sterling!

here's the email I just got from the free email account that the Catholic Priest who is, for whatever reason, helping the solicitor, is using to send me an email in which I am listed as a bcc, on an email address account that isn't even linked to my name at all.

I'm sure it's legitimate, given the circumstances I just outlined! I know if I were looking for someone named in the will of the husband of the prime minister, I'd have a clergyman NOT from the Church of England, and preferably a clergyman from outside the country, send a bcc email from a free email account to an email account that nowhere in the world could anyone possibly form a connection between the account and the person. Wouldn't you?

Obviously, sending a mail letter from the lawyer's office, or a direct personal phone call would be fucking stupid. No, better to have the Priest send blind emails.

Dear
On behalf of the trustees and executor of the estate of Late Sir. Dennis Thatcher, I wish to notify you that late Sir. Dennis Thatcher, made you a beneficiary to his Will. He left the sum of Nine hundred and fifty thousand Pounds Sterling (£950,000.00 BPS) to you in the codicil and last testament to his Will. This may sound strange and unbelievable to you, but it is real and true.

Being a widely traveled man, he must have been in contact with you in the past or simply you were nominated to him by one of his numerous friends abroad that wished you good. Sir. Dennis Thatcher passed away peacefully in the Lister Hospital London, after a short illness at the age of 88 years.

He was a businessman and a husband to Margaret Thatcher, the former British Prime Minister. He was Born May 10th 1915; died June 26th 2003, and his Will is now ready for execution.

Sir. Dennis Thatcher, until his death was a very dedicated Christian who loved to give out. His great philanthropy earned him numerous awards during his lifetime. In a tribute to him at a News Conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin, British Prime Minister Mr. Tony Blair said: "Sir Dennis was a kind and generous-hearted man, a real gentleman who had many friends here and abroad.

According to him this money is to support your activities and to help the poor and the needy in your country.

Please If I reach you as I am hopeful, endeavor to get back to me as soon as possible, to enable the solicitor executing the Will to conclude his job. You should forward along your telephone and fax numbers, including your present mailing address.

Looking forward hearing from you in no distant time.

Yours in His service,

FATHER JAVIER GIRALDO

(Parish Priest)

10. I intend to contest the will.
I bought Thatcher a cup of coffee in Elko Nevada back in 1973 when he was having a bad time because of a spat with his wife.

He has long indicated he would leave his money to me.
