Please excuse this humble email if it offends your sensibilities, but I have no other means to contact you. I cannot talk on the telephone, so I did a search for your email address, which I found on the international directorate email data search. Due to my immediate predicament.
My name is Mrs. Adelicia Fauna Spacey 52 year’s old woman, A Christian widow who is dying of esophageal cancer. Recently, My Doctor told me I don’t have much time to live. This message is a very unusual one but bearing in mind my limitations I decided to contact you.
Having accepted my condition I decided to entrust some fund I have (US$ 8.2 Million) deposited in Europe to either a philanthropic organization or devoted individual that will utilize this money for charitable activities.
30% of the money is allocated to you, to ensure that you are prepared for the task; the balance 70% of this money will be used by you in all sincerity to fund philanthropic organization, orphanages.
I am taking this decision because I don’t have any child or devoted relations whose behavior has left much to be desired and above all I don’t want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence my bold decision to contact you, a total stranger. Since my health is regressing by the minute, you will have to tell me a little about yourself.
With the information, I will make arrangement to prepare the Authorization through an Attorney for you to get possession of the Deposit. My personal Reference Number ****
Until I hear from you, I pray that this letter bring you and your family good tidings.
JB, that excuse works if there’s two beeps – not one it’s just 1 indicating you joined. I usually just dont even respond to that bitchy tone person who asks the question. Now however, we cant hide as our company uses the web versions for conferencing where everyone can see who joined, hasnt joined, etc.
I wish I was handy enough to rewire my boss’s phone so the mute and unmute signals were switched.
Anyone have any other office pranks, other than lowering some tall co-worker’s chair as far down as it will go and watching them fall into it or unplugging the receiver of the phone underneath so they can’t tell and then try to answer their phone but it keeps ringing?
In the early days of corporate e-mail to internet connections, we had a temp who tried to send a juicy sexual e-mail to her boyfriend on Compuserve. Due to oddities of Compuserve addressing, our e-mail system, and her cluelessness, she ended up sending to the 17th floor.
I ran the e-mail system at the time, and got to explain to everyone how it happened.
I was at a bar in 2000 and some dude, a first year lawyer, had a blackberry – first time I’d seen one. I didn’t really understand what it did and ended up emailing “you’re hot†to an of counsel in his dc office. He was pretty pissed at me, but made partner this year so I guess I didn’t ruin his career.
“Key rules for conference calls is, if you are going to be late joining one, never announce your name, just hit the pound sign two times quickly. Then if someone asks who just joined, don’t say a word. Or else say the name of someone in the office whom you can’t stand.â€
Haha – I hate “who just joined,†seems always to be said by some bitchy-toned female. And if you get called out, don’t say you were late, just say your call was dropped and you had to dial back in!

“Brilliant!â€
Ha, yeah – my boss hits the hang-up button instead of un-mute a lot so that’s what made me think of it.
“And if you get called out, don’t say you were late, just say your call was dropped and you had to dial back in!”
Brilliant!
