Talking Check out this email I just got!

I only wish it was true lol. This is what it says.

"I am Isa Salmon, A Bahrain national I have been
diagnosed with Oesophageal cancer .It has defiled all
forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only
about a 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 charity
organizations.I cannot do this myself anymore because of
my health.I once asked members of my family to give some
money to charity organizations,they refused and kept the
money.I have a huge cash deposit of Eighteen Million
dollars with a finance House abroad. I will want you to
help me collect this deposit and dispatch it to charity
organizations.You will take out 20% of this funds for
your assistance.
Regards,
Isa Salmon."

So whats 20% of 18 million only 3.6 million
