Daily spam I'm going to

Daily spam

I'm going to up RC's ante with this spam that in various forms comes copiously out of Africa:

Dear Sal Ravilla

Thanks to a piece of information I gathered about you
through the Togolese Chamber of Commerce and
Industry,Although I did not leave any clue as to the
reason for my enquiry bearing in mind the
confidentiality required in this absolute risk-free
Business.

He goes to say I could share in an unclaimed fortune that is sitting in Togolese bank account if I would just give him my account number. How in the name of Heaven did the Togolese Chamber of Commerce and Industry get any information about me? Anyone with cognitive ability greater than bathroom tile knows this is a trick - my address ended up on this Swindler's List so that he could bilk me of the $313.17 in my checking account. Good thing Padre Ravilla taught young Sal well!

The only other practicing Catholic where I work is from Ghana. Whenever I get this spam at work I blame it on him. He thinks it's funny. "Look," I say. "If you need money for lunch just ask!"

What? Who?

On life and living in communion with the Catholic Church.
