Hello Dear In the Name of the Lord

Hello Dear in the Name of the Lord

By Elton Camp

I get those lying e-mails every day
About the same things they will say

“My husband and I are very rich
He was a devil and I was a *****.”

“Now my husband has passed away
And the doc says I may not live a day.”

We were never able to produce a child
With no heir, the money drives me wild.”

“There’s something I want you to do
Let me send my millions over to you.”

“Lest my evil relatives grab in haste
And this fortune terribly will waste.”

“Part of the money will be for you
The rest give to the Lord, please do.”

“So I can send this stupendous amount
Just give the number of your bank account.”

“If with this request you will please comply
I promise that I’ll drain your account dry.”
