We Won, We Won!!

Usually these letters all go in the spam folder, but somehow this one made it into my inbox. When I saw it I yelled, "Oh my word!! I just won $5,000,000!!!!!"
Austin, who was sitting across from me jerked up and his eyes got all big. "REALLY?!"
So I read him this letter:

DEAR FRIEND,GREETINGS FROM MY OWN SIDE.I AM MRS.MARGARETE VOVO,A WIDOW TO LATE PEDRO VOVO.I AM 52 YEARS OLD,SUFFERING FROM PANCREATIC CANCER.MY CONDITION IS REALLY BAD AND IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS THAT I WON'T LIVE MORE THAN SIX MONTHS ACCORDING TO MY DOCTORS.I AM WILLING TO DONATE THE SUM OF 5,000,000US DOLLARS FOR YOU TO HELP WIDOWS AND THE LESS PRIVILILEGED ONES IN THE RURAL AREAS AND TO CARRY OUT OTHER CHARITY WORKS.I WAIT YOUR URGENT REPLY TO PROCEED.MRS.MARGARETE VOVO.

He said, "That's not our normal budget! We can invest in a house and sell it for more!
I didn't know Margaret was a millionaire!"

He is explaining it to Nicole right now and just said, "She has this widow business and she is passing it onto us. We'll just make money, money, money."
Nicole said, "So...you really believe this?" And he said, "OF COURSE I DO!! This is five MILLION dollars!!!"

LOL!! The urgent reply she is waiting for must include your bank account number so she can make a deposit into your account.

Who does Austin know named Margaret??

OMW! Austin is so hysterical. I laughed out loud when I read what he said.
