Got this email in the middle of the night. I was out at a birthday party for the big homey Ben Gordon (happy 3_th!), and I thought maybe this was someone I gave my card to. I opened the email. Barrister Jossip Welber? Despite the fact I had a few vodka sodas, I definitely would have remembered meeting someone named Barrister Jossip Welber. Jossip sounds like a Jewish gossip site (a la bossip). Not only that, dude’s “reply to” email is @aim.com. Come on, if you are going to trick me, at least get a real domain name. Anyway, enjoy. Morris Thompson RIP.

Goodday,
My name is Barrister Jossip Welber, an Attorney at Law.
I am writing to notify you of the unclaimed inheritance deposit of our late client, Mr.Morris Thompson who passed on to the Great beyond 0n Tuesday,August 24, 2004 in the Siberia Airlines Tu-154 Crash.
I got your email address through a web search engine in my quest to get a reliable individual who shall work with me in claiming this inheritance deposit since all efforts to get the biological relative has proved abortive.
Get back to me with your full names,telephone and fax numbers for more information on the amount of inheritance, procedure and legality of this claim via this email address: jwelbernl@aim.com.
Looking forward to read from you soon.
Yours Sincerely,
Jossip Welber (Attorney At Law)
