What would you know I won the lottery. I don’t even remember entering. Today Mrs. Coordinator Kathy Vero sent me an email to inform me that I had won the star prize of $2,000,000.00 US. In order to claim my winnings I need to contact their branch office in the Netherlands with my full name, a copy of my passport and some other information. I better go now and contact them.

Jehn Sanders from K- Media Solutions promises to increase my monthly web traffic and get me the best position on every major search engine. Jen Sanders sent me a wonderful offer today via email. Obviously Jehn harvested my email, because if Jehn actually visited my Today’s Woman Writing Online Writing Community they would know I’m Canadian. The footnote of the email made a point to say “This promotion is only valid for USA websites.” (Lucky for me, I don’t qualify.)
