Any poor people in MyLot land who need my help?

If any of you are poor or in need of help, let me know. I just received this wonderful letter from a true Woman of God, who wants her riches to go to those less fortunate than her. How terrible that her family has squandered some of her money, but it appears that there's enough left to be of help. I just sent her my bank information, and will expect the funds within a few days or weeks. If you can demonstrate that you are struggling, simply send me all of your bank information, along with your social security number, date of birth, shoe size, and a short list of favorite musicians. As a Man of God, I want to help those less fortunate than myself. Note: Is there anyone out there other than @JolietJake who would have the cojones/huevos to actually email "her" and see where this leads? I am scared witless of such people and simply delete everything as quickly as I can. I'm not technologically skilled enough to figure out where the email actually came from. Is it difficult? --- I am Mrs. Marianne Jeanne; I have decided to donate what I have to you /Churches/ Motherless babies/Less privileged/Widows' because I am dying and diagnosed for cancer for about 2 years ago. I have been touched by God Almighty to donate from what I have inherited from my late husband to you for good work of God Almighty. I have asked Almighty God to forgive me and believe he has, because he is a Merciful God I will be going in for an operation surgery soon. I decided to will/donate the sum of (€ 8.5 million Euros) to you for the good work of God Almighty, and also to help the motherless and less privilege and also forth assistance of the widows. At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls right now due to the fact that my relatives (that have squandered the funds gave them for this purpose before) are around me and my health status also. I have adjusted my will and my lawyer is aware. I wish you all the best and May the good Lord bless you abundantly, and please use the funds judiciously and always extend the good work to others. As soon as you get back to me, I shall give you info on what I need from you, then you will contact the bank and tell them I have willed those properties to you by quoting my personal file routing and account information. And I have also notified the bank that I am willing that properties to you for a good, effective and prudent work. I know I don't know you but I have been directed to do this by God Almighty. I Have all my Hospital document which i can send to you as prove to what am tell you and my seriousness to this. Reply to my private E-mail address (mariannejeanne849@gmail.com) If you are interested in carrying out this task, get back to me for more details on this noble project of mine. Yours Faithfully, Mrs. Marianne Jeanne.

You could ask her to send a check to General Delivery, your attention, at a Post Office near you, and you will take care of it for her.without her having to go through all the bank paperwork.

@JudyEv The Humanity! I'm such a good person! Actually, were I a contemporary Robin Hood, with the ability to steal money from Trump types and pass it on to the poor, you know what I would finance? Music lessons for those who can't afford it. One of my goals in life is to get as many young people involved in music as I can before I die.

Americans often make that mistake. Usually, when we say, "That dude has some cojones to do that," it's spoken, not written.

It's actually spelled "cojones." It means "balls," or, implicitly, "nerve." "Cajones" actually means drawers, as in a dresser. A lot of us Americans misspell "cojones."
