provide the appointed next of kin within the next thirty official working days, or face the Wrath of their Banking Laws

ROFLMAO

Wire Transfer of US$2.5Million Dollars

Att:Dear Sir/Madam

Firstly, I am Barrister Edward Douglas, a solicitor at law. I am the Personal Attorney to late Engr. Robert Williams.Can you be sincere?He is an Australian citizen, who lived and worked in British Oil Engineering Sector for fifty-eight (58) years, and who was until his demise my client based on engagement entered into with my chambers.

The said late Engr.Robert Williams who is hereafter referred to as my client passed away on the 14th of February, 2008, in a fatal auto accident. All occupants of the vehicle including his wife and their only daughter unfortunately lost their lives. Since the unfortunate incident of his death, I have made several inquiries these few weeks to the embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives but this has also proved most unsuccessful.

After these several unsuccessful attempts to trace his last name over the Internet to locate any heir of his family, I have therefore contacted you to assist in claimming this funds ( US$2.5Million Dollars) left behind by my late client from the investment bank with whom this fund were deposited before it is declared as unclaimmed Bills by the bank.

The investment bank where my late client made the Deposit has issued me with notice to provide the appointed next of kin within the next thirty official working days, or face the Wrath of their Banking Laws

Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for weeks now, I therefore seek your consent to present you as the Next-of-kin of the deceased to inherit the funds, so that the lodgment can be transferred to you by legitimate inheritance provisions as my client's Next of Kin.

All necessary legal documents to back up your claims as the appointed deceased Next of Kin to receive this fund, will be available by my chambers as witness to your status as bonafide inheritor. I solicit therefore your honest cooperation to enable us see this enterprise to conclusion.

I also reassure you that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.If interested,furnish me all the followings in your next mail :

1. Full Names
2. Country of Nationality
3. Contact Direct Phone Numbers
4. Age
5.Profession/Occupation

I will be looking forward to your call when you get this mail to finalize this deal as soon as possible because the thirty days mandate given by the bank is of essence.

Yours faithfully,
Barr.Edward Douglas

Touche...

Well, that guitar of Neil's would be at the top of my list!

And I haven't played one, but I've always wanted to try a Maton TE2

And the venerable MARTIN 000C-16RGTE That Fishman Aura system is sweet!

The comparable Taylor (I haven't learned enough about them to know the exact model)

The Gibson Les Paul Studio w/robot tuners.

And yeah, it may not be all that expensive, but I can't think of another guitar right now; and I really like that Yamaha Silent Guitar (steel string)

Also oozing thanks (even more than Joe!) for your kind donation to my guitar collection :P :P

Thank you very much.
