too many words spelled wrong...if they are a legit company they need to fire that secretary...and they are asking for just enough information to buy a house in your name...lol...i wouldnt even dare to send them an email...they might somehow trace that email via its ip address back to your computer and get a hold of some important cookie...these guys are good....there was a mcdonalds employee once that found out he had a 700000 house in florida...

LOL. The first red flag should be (yahoo.com e-mail).

Second red flag is (giving away money). No body is gonna give you any free money. Also, any e-mail you get randomly or else wise is spam.

But there plenty of people who think, This could be legit. They should smack themselves and just delete it. BTW, Send this to 5 of your friends and you will be very rich soon.
