He's got a large prize he's trying to get out of the country, and is looking for someone in Pineville, LA who has a bank account and can help him. There's a handsome agent's fee for you, of course. He'll be in contact with you shortly.

Hello Ms. Elodi,

Your faith in this fellow "Bright Moments" as an appropriate ""guradian" for a ripe young virgin such as yourself is entirely misplaced, unless you want your entire fortune invested in Les Paul paraphernalia.

out of linguistic curiosity: are there other languages besides German where "to give up the ghost" (den Geist aufgeben) is a term for dying (though more common for cars than for humans)

Last week I received a lottery scam by letter, from Spain.

I've heard the expression in English, and also noticed it applied most frequently to automobiles. I believe it's a nearly archaic expression at this point.

OMG this is getting ridiculous!

Hello Pal,

I hope my email meets you well. I am in need of your assistance. My name is sgt jarvis reeves jr . I am a military attache with the Engineering unit here in Ba'qubah Iraq for the united state, we have about $25 Million dollars that we want to move out of the country.

My partners and I need a good partner someone we can trust to actualize this venture.The money is from oil proceeds and legal.But we are moving it through diplomatic means to your house directly or a safe and secured location of your choice using diplomatic courier services.

But can we trust you? Once the funds get to you, you take your 40% out and keep our own 60%. Your own part of this deal is to find a safe place where the funds can be sent to. Our own part is sending it to you.

If you are interested reply to Email:sgtjrjarvisreeves_8@yahoo.dk

I will furnish you with more details.

Awaiting your urgent response.

Your Buddy.

"rendre l'âme" in french (= "hand back the soul"). It is also mainly used with technical equipment.

I just hope you lucky winners will share your new found wealths.
