A new Nigerian scam
I received this email, which is a scam, and sent a complaint to the ISPs involved, which are in Italy, so they can investigate. Please don't fall for these scams.
Dear Friend,
I know this email will come to you in an odd manner as you have not received any prior communication from me before now. But be that as it may, my name is Mr. Melvin Samson
and I was privileged to be the account officer of my deceased client who lost his life sometime ago.
In the process of review of the financial report by my bank, I discovered that bot of you have a similar last name, hence I contacted you so that I can give you further briefing on my intention and how to disburse the estate he left behind.
I will most acknowledge your prompt response as that would enable us to start something
immediately.
Sincerely,
Melvin Samson
If he knew my last name why does it start with Dear Friend? Mark.
Dee's newest recipe
FRIED RICE
To Cook Rice:
1/2 cup White Long grain Rice
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
1/8 tsp ground Ginger
1 cup Beef Broth
Mix all ingredients in a microwave safe glass dish, Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 minutes. Stir, Cover and cook on LOW for an additional 15 minutes. All of the liquid should be absorbed. Let stand covered for 2 to 4 hours. (May be refrigerated overnight)
Fried Rice:
2 tbs Margarine
1 lg Onion (diced large)
1/2 tbs Minced Garlic
1/4 cup Soy Sauce (Use 1 tbs less for less intensity)
Cooked Rice
1 med Carrot (Shredded)
1/3 cup Frozen Peas (Thawed)
3/4 cup Mushrooms (Sliced)
2 Green Onions (Thinly Sliced)
2 Eggs (May use non-cholesterol egg substitute)
Optional Ingredients: Add 1 cup of any kind of cooked meat you like.
Scramble Eggs in a small non-stick pan and put aside. In a large (12") non-stick skillet melt Margarine over Med heat. Add Onions and Garlic and cook for 5 minutes. Add Rice and cook for 5 more minutes, stirring frequently. Add Soy Sauce and mix in well, reduce heat to Med-Low and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients and heat through (about 5 minutes).
This recipe makes a lot of Fried Rice. With meat added it can be served as an entire meal and will serve 4. This is a recipe that tastes great right out of the pan or as leftovers. You can even freeze the leftovers. To reheat, place in microwave safe dish, cover and heat on Med heat for 8 minutes if refrigerated or 12 minutes if frozen, stirring once half way through. Dee.
