Dennis Thatcher Leaves Me Big Bucks

I received an email yesterday notifying me that I had been named a beneficiary under the will of Sir Dennis Thatcher, husband of Margaret Thatcher. Apparently, this an an exotic variation on the spam scam theme. I suppose I should stop spending the money in my mind.

As noted in this article from the Inquirer:

"The spam purports to come from a Catholic church in Wimborne, Dorset, London - yes, really - and if you've been unlucky enough to receive the spam, you might be surprised to find you're a beneficiary to his will. As no doubt will Margaret 'The Iron Lady' Thatcher."
