这年头，骗子横行，不仅在中国，而且在国外。
    前天收到一封“老外”的邮件，今日又收到一封。读之仰面大笑。天下有此等好事在等我？
    现刊两封邮件于下。供列位一笑。
    我和夫人一直教育子女“不要有发财思想，更不能有暴富之心”。钱多了，未必是好事，够花费了，足矣。更重要的是健康和快乐。
    以前一位驴友，和我旅游归来，总是说：你看花费了一两百元，开心一日。花费这点钱，能买一天的开心，哪儿有这样的买卖哦！-- 此言说明，金钱买不到健康,尤其买不到快乐。
    是啊。人生的一个无奈就是：见钱眼开，为钱所累，成了守财奴。甚至，“鸟为食亡，人为财死”。你到监狱去看看，多少人为了（最终没有到手的）钱，身陷囹圄，面对铁窗度日，此刻才醒悟：黄金诚可贵，自由价更高！-- 哎，一切都晚了。
    看完了此邮件，你也许会说：他没有要你的钱，是给你钱呀。
    试问：天下有此等好事否？陷阱的第一步总是甜甜的，香喷喷的哟 ......。

Dear friend,
    I am Juhan Rebane, an Estonian national. I was browsing on the internet and I got your e-mail, so I decided to write you if your e-mail is real. I have been diagnosed with rectal cancer. It has defied all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only few months to live. I am very rich, but was never generous. I have given most of my assets to my immediate family members.
    I have decided to give alms to the motherless and homeless. I cannot do this myself anymore because of my health condition. I once asked members of my family to give some money to charity organizations; they refused and shared the money among theirselves. I have huge cash deposit of $18million (Eighteen Million United States Dollars) with a finance company. I want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatch it to charity organizations. You will take out 20% of this fund for your assistance.
    I will like you to acknowledge the receipt of this e-mail as soon as possible and treat with absolute sincerity.
Regards,
Juhan Rebane
