Dear Friend,
I am Mrs. Elizabeth Etters from Iceland, married to Late Engr Brown Etters {PhD} who worked with MULTINATIONAL OIL COMPANY EXXON AS A DRILLING RIG SUPPLIER in Kuwait for 19 years before he died on the 22th August 2008. We were married for twenty four years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.Before his death, he deposited the sum of USD 2,142,728.00 Dollars with a bank In Canada and this fund is presently with the bank awaiting my disbursement as beneficiary and next of kin to the funds. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Eight months due to cancer problem. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church, organization or good person that will utilize this money in good faith.
l took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money. I kept this deposit secret till date, this is why I am taking this decision. I don't think i will need any telephone communication in this regard because of the confidentiality of this transfer.Upon your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank. I will also issue a letter of authorization to the bank that will prove you the present beneficiary of this money. Reply to my very confidential email address below
Await your responds and God bless you.
Mrs. Elizabeth Etters

mental_floss Blog » 13 Bizarre Stipulations in Wills

5. Luis Carlos de Noronha Cabral da Camara

The Portuguese aristocrat was a childless bachelor, so he divvied up his estate by picking 70 names at random from the Lisbon phone book. When he died 13 years later, his attorneys notified the unsuspecting beneficiaries that they stood to inherit their benefactor’s cash, his home, and his car.

There are some entirely ridiculous wills, but this one made me giggle.

Layar Augmented Reality Now World Wide on Android, iPhone is Next

This looks mighty interesting! I am a bit hesitant about the performance on a G1 and similar though. Maybe with next generation Android phones?

SeaWatch Plantation at night

I know, I know, the pools kind of look like a ball-sack. Going to be interesting discovering the resort tomorrow morning. Going to walk the place and see what there's to offer, until I find the tiki bar and settle in.
