Mr Pascal Ochai

Obviously I've seen things like this before...but I just found it funny that he emphasized his love for "honesty,trust,love,truth,caring,&respect" and that he was able to determine that I have all these qualities. I've never seen that in these types of emails. 10.7 million is a lot of money though...maybe I should call.... ::)

lol, I got the same one.  It remember it because it was the first piece of spam (I get ~50 a day) that Gmail didn't send to spam...

Maybe I'll grab Skype and try the number. :)
