Clif Notes Newsletter, Feb 2007
http://freewarewiki.com/ClifNotes
"The COOLSITES Newsletter - find the coolest links here. This fella named Mark Donaldson has been sending out his lists of cool sites since 2003. I'd never heard of him before last week. One day I was Googling myself to see who was posting links to my newsletter, and I found his website. I guess he's mentioned my newsletter at least 3 times. I like the COOLSITES website too, but I think it could use some reformatting to make it a bit easier to read. What I really like is the content there. Mark must really read a lot of stuff on the web and he takes the best links then tells you about them."

They tried to scam me
Beloved, My name is Mrs. Angelika Keymel a 55yrs old . I am a nationality Deutsch.I am married to Deutsch (a German ) Mr harri Georg paul keymel who worked with Shell OIL COMPANY for thirty years before he died in the plane crash On 31st of July 2000 with other passengers aboard as you can confirm it yourself through this web site. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm) We were a dedicated Christians and decided to serve mankind to the best of our ability. Since his death, I have lived with the memories, fighting effortelessly to lead a normal life but all to no avail. I suffered cancer and shortly i have have stroke. I lived with the scourge praying earnestly for divine intervention. Just a month ago, My doctor informed me that I have just about three months more to live. I was not shocked. I accepted the news in good fate. Brethren, it is in this regard that I write to you, having sourced your address from a database in my late husband's internet dozier after fervent prayers. Before my husband died, he deposited a sum of $5.6Million (Five Million six Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) with a bank in cote d'ivoire. I have wholeheartedly decided to donate the entirety of this fund to any devoted believer or organisation and to achieve this, I need an individual that will utilize this funds adherently for these purposes: I want an individual that will use this fund to churches, Orphanages, Research centers and widows, They are the desires of my heart, hence my decision as I do not have a child to take over my inheritance. Please, understand that I am not doing this because of fear of death as I am certain where my place already is. All I need from you is Truthfulness, Honesty and Sincerity assuring me that you can in all honesty and obedience utilize the funds for the purpose with which it is meant. In any a case, a quick response from you will be highly appreciated as I am already on a count-down and may not have ample time to finalize the procedures. Any delay in response may compel me to source for other measures or perhaps choose the alternative which I will not be happy to. Please, do not see this as a strange possibility or an unbeliveable opportunity to make wealth, rather see this as a rare chance to assist the less priviledged in truth and in spirit with a substance. I await your immediate response. Thank You and Bless You richly! Yours Sincerely, Mrs Angelika Keymel
