Aren't I a very lucky boy ?

What it's not a scam!! Oh *uck!!!!

I've just e-mailed them all my NR account details along with all the required PIN numbers.

Fortunately I forgot about all my offshore accounts, so the £56.5 million in the Cayman Islands will be ok.

The £2.7 million in Northern Rock is just pocket money!
