HOW does one get so lucky?

That’s the question I’ve been asking myself this week as people from around the world have flooded my email wanting to deposit huge amounts of cash into my bank.

Take Malaysian banker Dr Sanjeev Nanvati who with ‘good spirit of the heart’ wanted to deposit $18.5 million because his late client had the same name as me. Fancy that, someone so mega rich having my name.

Then there was the FBI in Washington.

Now when the FBI comes a calling it can’t be good, right? Good, it was absolutely unbelievable – it seems the FBI was pretty keen to do me a good turn.

On Wednesday an email arrived saying the FBI Anti-Terrorist and Monetary Crimes Division had blocked the transfer of $US8.3 million to my bank account because I don’t have the Diplomatic Immunity Seal of Transfer to show the fund is legit and rightly belongs to me.

The Diplomatic Immunity what? How do I get one of those? I mean, there’s only 8.3 million reasons to get one. 

Fear not, the FBI were on my side and more than happy to graciously direct me to where I could obtain the legal wiring document to fully authorise the crediting of the funds to my account.

Good fellas those FBI folk – so helpful.

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York contacted me to say after a thorough review and evaluation of my inheritance/contract funds in conjunction with the United Nations auditor general and the International Monetary Fund, they would be crediting money to my account in two workings days. Unreal, wonder how much?

Just when it was all becoming a bit much to comprehend, in weighed Microsoft to announce that my name had been chosen from 32,000 others to win 351,500 Euros as a second category winner. Second category, wonder what the first category winners got?

Surely, my lucky streak couldn’t continue… it did!

How lucky to receive an email from the Google Dream Come True Award Centre letting me know that after an e-mail electronic online sweepstake organised by Google I was won of 10 lucky winners to take home 850,000 British pounds.

The mighty Apple Corporation were seemingly in for a bite of my lucky week as well, amazingly choosing my email to announce they had reserved an Apple Watch for me as one of their most loyal Australian readers.

Mmmm… can’t ever remember reading Apple but, hey, minor detail.

The goodwill even extended to Australia with Bunnings, via some unnamed Florida organisation, also miraculously selecting my email from all others to win a lucky voucher.

It’s incredible that one person could have so much fortune in a single week.

And to think all these very generous people want to make my dreams come true is my bank account details.

Oh, how the world is such a wonderfully generous and honest place these days!
