Based on true story!

A priest was being honored at his retirement dinner after 25 years in the parish. A leading local politician and member of the congregation was chosen to make the presentation and give a little speech at the dinner. He was delayed, so the priest decided to say his own few words while they waited.

"I got my first impression of the parish from the first confession I heard here. I thought I had been assigned to a terrible place. The very first person who entered my confessional told me he had stolen a television set and, when questioned by the police, was able to lie his way out of it. He had stolen money from his parents, embezzled from his employer, had an affair with his boss' wife and taken illegal drugs. I was appalled, but as the days went on, I knew that my people were not all like that and I had, indeed, come to a fine parish full of good and loving people."

Just as the priest finished his talk, the politician arrived full of apologies for being late. He immediately began to make the presentation and gave his talk.

"I'll never forget the first day our parish priest arrived," said the politician. "In fact, I had the honor of being the first person to go to him for confession."

This is that funny but I got this email, who thinks I should respond

ear Friend,
I'm the solicitor to a deceased (property magnate) who died alongside others in
the July 7th, 2005 London underground bomb blast in the UK.

On the 7th of July, 2005, my client died in the Piccadilly line that exploded
between Kingcross and Russell Square train station, she was the first victim to
be formally identified. Since then, I have been managing her properties here in
the U.K which she put out for sale. I monitored the payment as her solicitor, has
been bought and paid for. Now the money paid was deposited into her account. I
have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind
by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by her bank.
Particularly, the bank has issued me a notice to provide any of her next of kin or
have the account confiscated within a short time. My late client has an account
valued at £10.5 million.

Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for some time now, and
with the building society/bank giving me deadline, I now seek your consent to
present you as the next of kin of the deceased, so that the proceeds of this
account valued at GB£10.5 million can be paid to you and then you, and I can
share the money. 70% for me and 20% for you while 10% has been map for
miscellaneous expenses that might arise. I have all necessary information that
can be used to back up any claim we may make.

All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us seeing this deal through. I
guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law.
I want you to call me for us to discuss further about this transaction.
A swift acknowledgement on the receipt of this mail would be appreciated.

I remain obliged,
Benjamin Vincent.

Open another account, give him the details and tell him you need a sign of "good faith".

Then another sign.

And another.

Etc

BS - accounts get frozen when the deceased is deceased (she was the first identified RIGHT) (SOP in SA)
