          I got all excited for a moment thinking a long lost relative was leaving me billions of African dollars. Ha!

          I wonder why a spammer would not take more care and make a space after a comma or full stop. You would think that writing to a bunch of writers would warn the scammer that we will quickly realise the poor spelling and punctuation was false.

          Total Spam! 🙂

                Is there any way of opting out of receiving messages from users other than staff?

                  I don’t think we have a way to limit contact (I’m looking into it). But I did delete the problem account. Several other members also got the same contact.
