I'm only asking because the Weir Foundation has named me their beneficiary and wants to give that to me.
I have to know if it's worth my while.
Dear Beneficiary
My Wife Christine and I are donating £550,000 to you.Contact us via my wife email at (Wouldn't_you_ BBs_like_to_know@I_know_and_ you_don't.com) for further details.
Best Regards,
Colin & Christine Weir•

Dear Beneficiary, huh?
If I were to donate £550,000 to someone, I'd at least take the time to learn his/her name.
BTW, can you copyright your "best regards"?

SSS, you will either be amused or horrified by this, or both.

While representing Floyd Lee Madison in a criminal case in 2011, [lawyer Robert Allan Wright Jr.] was presented with documents purporting to evidence that Madison was the beneficiary of a large bequest from his long-lost cousin in Nigeria. Madison represented to Wright that upon payment of $177,660 in taxes owed on the inheritance in Nigeria, the sum of $18,800,000 would be released to Madison. He asked Wright to represent him in securing the transfer of the funds from Nigeria. In consideration for a fee equal to ten percent of the funds recovered, Wright agreed to represent Madison in the Nigerian transaction.

I had to read several pages before discovering, to my complete surprise, that no money was ever received from Nigeria.
This lawyer should have been disbarred for complete and utter stupidity.

I think he was worth every penny he earned.

The worth of 550,000 pounds ? That depends on what it is 550,000 of. Obviously 550,000 pounds of coke is more valuable than 550,000 pounds of pot.

I think that's not a criterion for disbarment.

If it were we'd have just 25% of the lawyers we do now.
