There’s a road to a place that’s paved with this stuff:

Hi, my name is Surita Diputs Naidoo and I live in Chatsworth, South Africa.
I am 8 years old, and I have been in a hit and run accident with a taxi.
My 14 year old brother was killed instantly, and my father later died at RK Khan’s Hospital, Chatsworth.
My mother and I are now living with my grandparents.
The doctors have told me that I need corrective surgery as my face and arms were badly burned in the accident.
Fortunately, my plight was brought to the attention of a wealthy Herbal Importer in Reservoir Hills, South Africa, who, with the help of IBM, have promised to give me R2 for every person this e-mail is forwarded to.

Please send to as many people as you can and GOD bless.
Remember, have a heart.

Well-meaning spam: when bad judgement happens to good people.
Now when i hear the phrase “wealthy Herbal Importer from Reservoir Hills”, the first thing I’m going to ask is “How much for a bankie Boss?”.
I sure hope the Omniscient Entities at IBM, Microsoft, MacDonalds, Pepsi, Coca Cola and [insert multinational developing-world-pillaging corporate goliath here] will use the software given to them by the aliens/David Icke’s reptile people to track this email to my blog and give unfortunate Surita Diputs Naidoo from Unit 9 in Chatsworth two whole rands for every person who reads this.

Remember, have a brain. God knows and hears your cry.
