Hi,

My name is Paul Allen, an American philanthropist, investor and innovator, best known as the co-founder of Microsoft Corporation and founder of Paul G. Allen Family Foundation. I believed strongly in ‘giving while living.’ I had one idea that never changed in my mind — that you should use your wealth to help people and I have decided to give USD$1,200.000.00 (One Million Two Hundred Thousand United State Dollars) to randomly selected individuals worldwide. On receipt of this email, you should count yourself as the lucky individual. Your email address was chosen online while searching at random. Kindly get back to me at your earliest convenience, so I know your email address is valid.

([email protected]) Email me.

Visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Allen or you can Google me ( Paul Allen ).

Regards,

Paul G. Allen
