Congratulations! I know how excited I was when they notified me that I may have already won the Publisher's Clearinghouse Sweepstakes. Sure is taking them a long time to get back to me though.

Nahhh, Tatok's cool!
My own 15 million dollar inheritance is coming to me next week, after Tatok's Nigerian cousin, Pokpok Penglonggo, confirms that he received the $5K UN processing fee I wired him at their regional office in Abuja.
BTW, are Ferrari dealers in SF open on Sundays?? And who in the forum has a Hetchins or Singer for sale??

I would rush out right now and place a large down payment on a beach house in anticipation of this wind fall -- what could go wrong? (I'm in the Outer BAnks now -- I love it here thus far, so that's what i'd do

Being the thinking man I am...... I'm gonna send them my bank info in place if yours and I will have your money. Sorry OJ2 but you're too valuable to this forum and I'm afraid we'd never hear from you again if you were to get those millions. You're welcome all other BF members.

I guess they keep giving away all that money is why the Bank of Central Indonesia can't afford it's own email server. Congrats and make sure you save that email for your next home loan application!

You seem 100% okay to me. Well, maybe 99.99%. Close enough for the UN.

You know, if they ever get an English prof on their staff, bad things could happen. Myself, I'm just happy that it was in LARGE print!

Perhaps lost in the joy of unlimited future bike acquisitions is the added bonus that with an award of that size you can also afford to house them all.
O Glorious Day!
