It is a chance in a million that you will get rich quick but here is what happened to me.

I won a million pounds last night
I really cant’ believe it
It came to me via email link
So I clicked to retrieve it
Apparently I’m lucky
One of the chosen kind
I didn’t even enter
So it has blown my mind!
It seems that all I need to do
To lay hands on my stash
Is give them all my details
And I’ll have it in a flash
The fact it’s in a currency
Of cash I do not know
Does nothing to discourage me
Or question con or pro?
A millionaire? I’m speechless!
I can’t believe my luck
I clicked reply and sent two words -
Off, preceded by…
Dedicated to Mr Gatuso Bird and friends, who constantly email me with offers of millions of dollars in exchange for my bank account details and other personal information.

    You got me going there for a minute. I thought you had actually won. You have to be so careful these days with emails. Great poem.
