I must be a very lucky person
I must be a very lucky person. Every now and then, I received phone calls telling me that I have won prizes through some lucky draws or that I have been randomly selected to receive a free carpet cleaning. Sometimes, I receive a letter telling me that they have found some money hidden somewhere that belongs to me. Better still, I receive on the daily basis in my e-mail inbox e-mail each typically telling me that I have inherited a large sum of money from an unknown uncle somewhere in the world.
All of these phone calls, letters, e-mail etc all have one thing in common. They want me to send them a small sum of money to cover for the postage, or for the taxes, or for the administration fees for transferring the money to me, or they would ask me to provide them with my personal and banking details.
If I were to accept all these offers, I would have been a multi-millionaire by now. Unfortunately, every time when they called, I was always busy bathing the baby and so I could not talk to them much. I also have a big recycle bin that I need to fill up with these unsolicited letters. As for the e-mails, I just hit the delete button or drag them to the junk mail folder and put the spam guard on them.
