A heart-warming tale...

[Mike_F]

This is a quick story about the bond formed between a little girl and a
group of building workers. It's allegedly true and makes you want to believe
in the goodness of people and that there is hope for
the human race.

A young family moved into a house next door to a vacant building. One day
Joe, Steve and a gang of building workers turned up to start building a
house on the empty plot.

The young family's 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in all the
activity going on next door and started talking with the workers. She hung
around and eventually the builders, all with hearts of gold, more or less
adopted the little girl as a sort of project mascot.

They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had tea and lunch
breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel
important. They even gave her, her very own hard hat and gloves.

At the end of the first week they presented her with a pay envelope
containing two pounds in 10p coins. The little girl took her 'pay' home to
her mother who suggested that they take the money she had received to the
bank the next day to start a savings account. When they got to the bank the
cashier was tickled pink listening to the little girl telling her about her 'work'
on the building site and the fact she had a 'pay packet'.

\"You must have worked very hard to earn all this\", said the bank cashier.

The little girl proudly replied, \"I worked all last week with the men
building a big house.\"

\"My goodness gracious,\" said the cashier, \"Will you be working on the house
again this week, as well?\" The little girl thought for a moment and said...

\"I think so. Provided those Kitsons at Jewson deliver the fu(king bricks.\"

Talking of heart warming tales, I just thought I'd share the contents of this email with you all, your heart has to go out to this people!!!  

Dearest One,
 
I hope you receive this mail in good health,
 
Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship with you. I got your contact from the International web site directory, prayed over it and selected your name among other names due to it's esteeming nature and the recommendations given as a reputable and trust worthy person I can do business with and by their recommendations I must not hesitate to confide in you for this simple and sincere business.
 
My name is Mrs. Elina, the wife of late Mr. Edmundo Boka who was a Cocoa merchandise before his death in the year 2008; we were married for twenty years with only one child Charles Boka J. who is 16 year old now, When my husband was alive we deposited the sum of Four Million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars (USD$4,500,000.00) in a bank here and this money is still with the bank up till this moment. My worries now reason of contacting you is that my doctor notified me recently that I have less than one (1) months to live due to my Stroke and Cancer problem but the one that bothers me most is the Cancer problem which has developed to a very high and dangerous stage.
 
Having known my health condition I decided to donate part of this money to a good charity organizations and orphanage homes, to use some part of the money for charity and orphanage and to invest the rest of the money for good business in your country for my only Son so that he will have a better future. I also took this decision because my husband relatives are not honest with my husband when he was alive, they are enemies of progress and don't have the fear of God in them and I have to avoid them from having any idea about this money.
 
I want my son to inherit the fund but he cannot carry out this alone due to his younger age with his low mentality and to keep my Late husbands relative away from having any idea about this Deposit because they are many and are always around to monitor us i took this bold decision to contact you personally as a foreigner for assistance so that the bank can transfer the money out of this Country in your name as my foreign partner once I present you.
 
As soon as I hear from you I shall direct you to the bank where the money was deposited and explain in full details all you need to know about this matter. Please I want you and your family to always pray for my healing and always be prayerful to God in all the days of your life.
 
Looking forward to hearing from you ASAP.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Elina Boka
