Let the wild goose chase begin.
Email them back saying you'd LOVE to help out, but you need dollars, not pounds. Just play it stupid, let them waste their time on you, trying to get in touch with you. Then finally tell them you've been screwing with them the whole time and their conversation has been posted on a website.

I can't believe it I didn't win any lotto's today, I normally win several time a day.
The only thing I could find is an email from "my bank" (I have a couple different emails all with a different bank name) that has a link to download a security & fraud protection program.

Just post the email address it came from and we'll screw with them. They probably sent that to a million people.

The economy must be realy slowing down. I got a similar one a year ago for 50 million British pounds.
I get over 20+ lottery, rich uncle, hot women looking for me, emails a day. I think I need to switch email. Anyone have recomendations on email providers (currently with Yahoo, thinking of switching to gmail).

Actually, even though I have the spam filter activated, it's my Yahoo account that gets all this nonsense. My "real" email account has hardly any spam that gets through (I use X-Mission for my server).Never regret anything that made you smile!
