Recently I've been peppered ...

... inundated even with scam phishing emails. Here’s 4 of the most recent. I must say, I find the little smile at the bottom of each email quite a friendly touch.

Sorry Felicia, I don’t pray and if I actually received the £60,000, I’d not be using it for charity work (except the kind that starts at home of course).
