Did the email in this email (lol) coincide with the one of the sender? Because if so, this guy must have spent a good deal of time to do this

Can I post one super disturbing mail I got in my spam?

[Son of the King]

The email was different . Was something completely unrelated to Microsoft...

And yeah sure .

[comrade_general]

but what if it's REAL??/?  

[Son of the King]

Then I miss out on "8 850 000.00 pounds sterling" coming from Microsoft who apparently are based halfway down a street in Luton, with a postcode from Westminster.

I think I'm willing to risk not replying .

Nice idea to check out it's location in Google maps, or whatever it was sent from. If it wouldn't have been from a different adress, I wouldn't have been so sure it isn't real. Why would Microsoft give you money to incentive the use of internet? It's ridiculous


Okay, so this is my contribution to this: Slightly disturbing, but funny nonetheless. It was especially funny to be in the library with two friends around me when I opened it.

You've been warned, it's slightly NSFW. Not very sure about that, but I wouldn't like to be your boss if I read that from your screen
