I new the Brit PM was in the running for upper class twit of the year, but I had no idea he can’t spell, punctuate, nor write a coherent sentence in English. Are they trying to save the money they give away by making senior ministers of the realm use hotmail addresses?

I would take the “TAKE NOTICE” part very seriously, you might just jeopardise your future wealth. :smiley:

They had me at “IMMEDIATE PAYMENT NOTIFICATION” tbh. Where do I sign?

Even prime ministers use hotmail.

I get sooo many of these bloody scammails…only idiots will respond and obviously they do.

How do this one work? It is not like they ask bank info or serious stuff, they can get this info out of a phone book.
