it may be too late to get your order here by Christmas.
The Gift that Keeps On Giving
How about giving your fellow members a really valuable
gift which doesn’t cost you much at all. I’m talking about vol-
unteering to serve on the ACTApple Committee. We are still
short on numbers and we don’t have a President. With a few
more members we might actually get someone to volunteer to
step into that role.
Spam, Spam and More Spam
There appears to have been an upheaval in the spamos-
phere. I haven’t had anything from the widow of a Nigerian
general for ages. But there is still plenty of activity.
I wonder, in fact, if some of the Nigerians may not have
moved to the UK. Take, for example, Mr Geoffry Bell, who
writes as follows:
Hello,
Ref: Information about Your late Relation/
Family member
This is my second but nal attempt to reach
you in view of this subject matter.
I am Georey Bell,an Conveyancer , Invest-
ment adviser/sole executor to your late rela-
tion.There is an Estate(Cash deposit in account
and Properties) belonging to your Late family
member I will like to discuss with you; He is
related to you going by the linage,surname and
country of origin.
The style is familiar, don’t you think?
Then there is the charming Lisa Simes at a company called
winlanding.com who is anxious for me to take up currency trad-
ing. Whatever her skills as a forex trader, her abilities as a
user of Word are suspect. Her missive begins:
You are subscribed as %%emailaddress%
Dear %%First Name%%,
There are lots more.
Have a great Christmas and New Year. I’ll talk to you again
in February. Of course, whether you listen or not is up to you.
Cheers
Mike Saclier
