Biggest Winner? Me. Goodbye Losers

When I started this blog, my stated goal was to win £500k on the exchanges and retire.

 Thanks to a completely unexpected and truly wonderful e-mail that I received today, (see below) my funds will very shortly be boosted by another £700k so who cares about the exchanges any more? Not me mateys!

With my goal thus reached, I bid you all farewell with my best wishes for the future.

 Thanks, and good luck.

    By the way, dont forget to ask for cash only :-)

    I wonder how many people really fall for those kind of emails.

    Nice blog

    ROFL....dunno if you're familiar with this site but it's all to do with the world of email scammers, primarily from Nigeria; there's some really funny stuff on there and well worth looking through...

    I won the very same prize some time ago!
    Needless to say, I have never worked since telling my boss where to go :(

    I wonder how many bank accounts and loans they get by sending the (GULLIBLE)'Winners Information' to their own friends who live in different countries?
