N.B:Pls kindlyreply to my private email.(rbloveb1@yahoo.fr )


Think it's a scam? Didn't George Benson have a band in the 80's? Think Rita should have a better grasp of the English language? 6.5 million dollars is quite a chunk of change! Should I? What could possibly happen?! Can you believe this stuff is still out there? I left the e-mail as received... feel free to e-mail her if you like, don't be a sucker, though!
