My cousin knows a guy who went to school with a guy that was in Nigeria and he knows for a fact that these are legitimate claims from people who are in desparate need of your money and assistance. If you had any inkling of world politics you would know that the world is not all Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream American Idol text voting. People die everyday and have to eat old cheese and sleep in huts and not get good TV reception or inarticulation for their vaccines. Maybe you can get off your high horse and relize that sending these people some loose change might mean the difference between living and dying. When the situation is reversed and you are sending e-mails to Mongolia begging for help, I will be laughing at you for being so stupid. ha ha. Turtleburgers.
