My Reply:

Dear Mr. Cook,

I am an elderly woman and just tried my first Internet today. I have to say it is a little overwhelming. I have already received so many mails from people I do not know.

When I was a child I thought the radio was high technology. I remember listening to the Amos & Andy Show every day after school. Of course, now we know they were horrible racists. But those were different times. If I would have told my father that one day I would vote for a black President, he would have slapped my mouth and told me that's why they will never give women the right to vote. I am sure he is spinning in his grave right now.

Since I am new to this, I do not know what is a millennium scientific computer game. I am definitely encouraged to use the Internet, especially now that I know I can win money. Unfortunately, do not have any family to share the money. Maybe I will become a sugar momma to some young stud! I think Joy Behar calls them "cougars".

I promise not to tell anyone until I get the money. I am a very private person and you can trust me on this.

Please call me at KLondike 5-3247. Give me a hour to get home though as I am currently at my local library. I hope it is not a problem, but I do not have a touch tone phone. I live in Brooklyn, NY at 7 Oak St. You can send the check there. If you need to bring one of those extra large novelty checks for a photo, I should meet you out on the street, as my hallways are very narrow.

Decrepitly yours,
Ms. Scamtastic
