Hi Agnieszka, I'm your best friend, remember? Don't tell me you don't, because you would be breaking my heart.
Now, I just need 200 000 USD to pay my bank loans, to finish renovation of my old, little house, pay my latest car-mechanic bill, buy the shoes I saw yesterday on a shop window, and then finally go for a nice, long trip to Uganda (I've always dreamed about). So, would you mind? And please hurry, because my bank installment is due on Monday and my client is late again.

I wonder how can we enforce this type of good luck [not for punishing a junk mail/spam sender]. I understand that in legal terms, if we were promised with wealth, we should actualize it. And the one who donates needs to fulfill his/her obligation in such junk mail.
