Received this morning in my spam folder:

From: "Marc H Lopez" <marclopez@federalreserve.org>
Subject: Fund found in your name in FRB New York..!
Date: Thu, 19 May 2011 10:24:59 -0400

Hello,

I'm working with printing and minting unit of FRB of NY, Sometime ago one
metal boxes were intercepted by the US customs at the JFK airport and brought
to the Federal Reserve Bank, The box contained usd100 bills to the amount of
usd11 million and all were stamped.

I was mandated to examine the boxes and upon my examination; I found out that
the first and second usd100 bills were only stamped; it was actually brought in from
oversea apparently to deceive the US customs.

I used a diluted chemical to clean up the stamped and found the $100 bills
perfect. My purpose of contacting you is that I found your name/ e-mail id
under one of the boxes as the beneficiary. Get back for farther details

Marc Lopez

Curiously, when I hit the reply button to claim my good fortune, the return email address was:

mh_197099@yahoo.it,

where the "it" suffix is the Internet country code for Italy. Perhaps the Federal Reserve employee who contacted me is vacationing in Italy.:rolleyes:

Anyway, since I have some extra cash to burn, I'll go ahead and buy these:

    Congrats on your 'new found' fortune. Perhaps you could also use some of it to buy a block of hotel rooms for P-Fest '11? And round-trip airfare for Polkies who will attend? Many thanks to your 'Benjamin' Benefactor. lol

    Sam Adams??? I'd AT LEAST ask for some Spotted Cow New Glarus, which isnt that far off from you! Come on, DK just fell into it, he's now in the top 2% of Americans, I'd bump that request up a bit, sir!

    I'll take a thirty-pack of Miller High Life though...

    It MIGHT a little bit truth to it if the FRB actually did mint anything, which they don't! But, just in case, I will take a case of Harp lager:biggrin:

    I would if it were my hard earned I was spending, but since this is windfall money, I want to experiment a bit.:smile:
