Mome reads Mommy, My daughter's way to spell it when she was younger... It stuck. My son calls me Mome... just like it looks. I now sign all my notes to them "Love, Mome". It's our inside secret and makes them smile. I always want them to smile.

Someone Cares...about Me?

I think we all get the emails about our inheritance from foreign lands.  Recently I've won a couple of lotteries in Peru, but this last one actually made me laugh.  I have never responded to any of these bogus scams and yet...Here is what I received yesterday:

Like I said, I usually do not respond, but this time I had to.  Here is my response:

Mr. Mueller,

I can assure you that I am not currently, nor have I ever been involved with one of these scams.  I spot them as scams a mile away and delete them directly.  I appreciate you letting me know that, as a representitive of the FBI, you do actually have money for me and have made arrangements for me to receive them on an ATM card.

I'm sure you already have access to my bank records and know that I do not have $260 to send you, however, I would be more than happy to give you, the Director of the FBI, permission to take that out of the 11 million, or thousand (not really sure what the actual amount stated above is).  Please deduct and forward the card in the adjusted amount.

Thanks so much for your time in assisting me with this and assuring that I am not getting scammed.

Sincerely,

Beneficiary

How long do you think it will take to get my ATM Card?  Will follow up with any response, LOL.
