Idol fans, maybe you can answer this question

Actually, I think we're all wrong. This woman called Joy is a delight.

I DID reply, just to see what would happen. I got a prompt response, treating me as a long-lost friend (although somehow forgetting to mention my name), and in return for me helping her, she and her son have agreed to give me 10% of their fortune as a foreign partner. They'd prefer it if I was to meet them in person, but in the event that I can't easily make it to Cote D'Ivoire, the security company that is holding their money (I'm a little fuzzy on exactly WHY) has affiliate offices in Holland and Thailand who will help me facilitate a transfer. They want me to give them my phone numbers to help speed up this process. Then her son can meet me in one of those countries to help claim the safety deposit box with all the money, once her lawyers have written a statement confirming me as a beneficiary...

Hmm, it just occured to me to ask her when we meet why her SON can't just do all the claiming, seeing as he is obviously free to leave the country, and would be a more trustworthy beneficiary? I guess my reputation has spread to the Ivory Coast!

Anyway, because I'm in the middle of tearing my house down to build another, I don't actually have a land-line, so I declined to give my number. But I did suggest to them that I'm quite keen to take a holiday (wouldn't mind seeing Egypt, and Kenya, maybe Jo'berg....) and why doesn't she give me HER address so I can meet her in Cote D'Ivoire as first suggested...

Unfortunately I haven't heard back for a while. But perhaps it's hard getting down to the local internet cafe in Abidjan when your late husband's bodyguards are on the warpath?


I'll keep you posted as I earn my US$1,800,000
