My Millions On The Net

Recently I unintentionally checked my gmail spams to discover my windfall. I have emails from amicable strangers telling me I have won millions in online lottery. Now even my grandmother who warned me against alcohol and lottery won’t be complaining about me winning colossal sums without buying the tickets.

The lottery emails have added a few valuable bytes to my knowledge base. Now I know that BMW has a lottery department and Bill Gates is into lottery business too. I have also won ‘BRITISH GAMING BOARD’ and ‘The Irish Lottery’ lotteries. I am providing you the list of my prizes

THE LOTTERY DEPARTMENT BMW £850,000
THE IRISH LOTTERY Euros6,548,759
UK NATIONAL LOTTERY £251,420,000
UK NATIONAL LOTTERY £250,000
BILL GATES FOUNDATION LOTTERY Euros50,000,000
BIG TIME INTERNATIONAL SWEEPSTAKES £1,000,000

If they pay me repeated sums for the repeated emails then I may have to upgrade my PC RAM to calculate the grand total in Indian Rupees. I would have to hire an accountant to look after my taxes, which would be several times my current annual income.

I have been using Internet for the past 6 years and have paid thousands in phone bills. Currently I have a DSL line which is expensive at Rs.699 per month but this is a sand grain to what the Internet has earned me. I would suggest to all the slothful, who aren’t lazy enough not to listen, to get a email id. Well! a couple of ids would be better but that would require the extra flexing of muscles as this would require monitoring spams in several accounts. My high school teacher puts it, “Never judge a person by the nature of his work. Every profession is great in its own way.” Today I couldn’t disagree with her; the rewards for filling a online form could be enormous. I’m among the living beneficiaries.

My millions are shaping the writer in me. In the future I may publish my own weekly magazine in which I may write anything from my cousins lost cell phone to my bathroom fittings. Well! It’s the duty of the general masses to read the rich and the famous. I can distribute this magazine for free to my friends, relatives, workmates and other intellectually superior readers like you.

I am required to fill extra-long forms with my personal data to claim the money. I would let you know more on this as soon as I do the same and get the cash.
For now I am thankful to all my benefactors for hunting down my email id and timely notifying me about my prizes.
