Since, like anyone else, I receive tons of scam emails and snail mail letters, I decided to present here some of these. All of these (and many more which I just delete) are scams. This means, what the senders have in mind is to racket one of us. And according to what I've seen, they do succeed quite often.
If you have similar letters in your mailbox, either disregard or play with the person knowing that you can't give him (or her) any information about:
-
Your bank account,
-
Your address — or any valid address if that matter,
-
Your family, and
-
any other information that you judge private or even intimate.
Ha! I say "Your"... even if you don't like your neighbor at all, don't give his information either. The Internet leaves tracks (hackers in the US are being caught one after another!) and you would certainly be in even bigger trouble.
In the meantime, I hope you will enjoy reading these letters as I do myself once in a while. 8-)I do not always add comments with the letters since I usually don't have time to do so, but there would often be a lot of joke to tell!

"Dans l'espoir de vous relire" -- si vous n'êtes pas français vous ne comprendrez pas forcement la subtilité de cette phrase. Mariam me dit qu'il va vérifier mon email (en général, relire veut dire vérifier que tout est bien écrit...)
Bon, je suis comptant, elle a prié et pouf! j'ai été choisi. Merci le petit bon dieu!
Ha! Oui, aussi l'email m'est arrivée en 32 exemplaires...

This is another lottery scam email stuff... If I'm putting it here it's because this one includes a website which has a reference to a company in the U.K. A false one, that is, that company doesn't exist. How can you know?! Easy! You go here: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/companies-house and click on WebCHeck (Free company information). In there you put the name of the company:

Alright! So we've seen it all, hey?!
Now this one is interesting.
"[...] starts recruiting employees [...]"
So this means I will have a W2 and I will get paid to check out stuff
for businesses that do not make any money yet since they are doing
research to know whether what I'm checking out is worth selling.

He! He! Good one. It was sent to "undisclosed-recipients:;" so how am I supposed
to verify my email address? How! Simply because I received the email. Okay. That
sounds good.
