Dear Friend

I am Mrs. Fatimah Mahamat, a Muslim woman who was married to Late Engr. Nasser Mahamat {PhD} who worked with MULTINATIONAL OIL COMPANY EXXON AS A DRILLING RIG SUPPLIER in Kuwait for 19 years before he died on the 31st July 2000. Before his death, he deposited some amount with a bank In Asia.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next eight months due to cancer problem. Having known my condition, I decided to donate this fund to a Charity organization or good person that will utilize this money in good faith by setting up a charity organization.
I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and I kept this deposit secret till date, this is why I am taking this decision. Upon your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank. I will also issue a letter of authorization to the bank that will prove you as the present beneficiary of this money. Please contact me via my private email address:fatimahmahamat02@xnmsn.com on the subject.
Await your responds soon.
Mrs. Fatimah Mahamat

Please send your reply to only my private Email: fatimahmahamat02@xnmsn.com

This is an email I got today. When I read it, I couldn't stop laughing; nor could the extern sitting next to me. I'm trying to decide how to respond. Should I act really concerned about her health, or should I act all excited about the money?

Thoughts?

An Epic Day

I just got back from the Writing for Charity Conference. It was absolutely amazing! There were a lot of authors there, and so many things that we got to do. I went to four different workshops, which were incredibly informative. I also got to have a part of my book critiqued by two authors. It was great. Especially when one of the authors told me she wanted to read more of my book. Best feeling ever!
The greatest part about Writing for Charity is that though it seems pretty expensive at first glance, $45 for full day, $25 for half day, I felt it was totally worth it and all the proceeds go toward helping children get books. For a lot of them, this will be the first book they have ever owned. Considering how much I LOVE books, and how much books have impacted my life, I feel that it is an amazing cause and I got so much out of it. When I get published, I'm planning on participating if I can. Until then, I plan to go every year.
