I also received this email.
It would be great if we could demand they have to come through with what they advertise. I don not give them my information but tell them to send a check....why are they doing this? To get people's information?
Maybe we can all figure out a way to get them back....by asking for their information - I do report them to the yahoo site on scams...I think we all should do that.....good luck...hope you get your millions......lol

Today, November 29, 2008, I got a NOTIFICATION OF BEQUEST from Martins Shebuna, Esquire in Pretoria, South Africa. It's the Late Mr. Mark Johnson letter you've already read above--something too good to be true and to be avoided like a plague. Guess they're launching their holiday scams.

Scam baiting is a popular web sport to some - see http://www.419eater.com/. Be aware that this can however be dangerous if the scammers get your actual personal information.

hi, i do think some unfortunate person that does not have all his (eggs in the basket) might be getting ready for the big win fall. Karma I say: what comes around goes around! These sad excuses for people that try to lure more unfortunate persons deserve to have all that is good taken from them, maybe then they will learn that being humble, kind, giving, loving, and just plain decent! Life is tough enough as it is! Why make it any tougher! Come on people lets learn to love and give love again ! it is possible we all have what it takes lets just make it happen! GOOD LUCK GOOD NIGHT GODS SPEED
