#legitimate request

My name is Tumblr, and I’m writing to you today with an urgent proposition. I am in very dire straits and need a trusted friend, so I turned to you. I need you to reblog this to 60 friends, and if each of them reblogs that post to 60 friends, my attorneys will authorize me to send you a rare family heirloom of €45,000,000. If you can fulfill this important role for me, please reblog! I have a rare disease that is lethal to humans and somewhat irksome for pterodactyls. It’s my mother’s dying wish (she’s also dying of pterodactyl finger rash) that you spread this message to as many people as possible, or at least 60 people—either way. But this is a secret, which is why I wrote to you anonymously! Don’t tell anyone! Just reblog this to 60 friends! When it’s done, and each of your 60 friends reblogs this to 60 of their friends, I will be happy to bequeath to you all of my precious €44,000,000! Please take this request seriously, as my pet pterodactyl is crestfallen. All he wanted was for someone to enjoy our priceless €44,500,200! But he was taken away for speaking out against the government. We fear the worst. Things are very bad in our country. Our king is sick after he fell in with an unsafe crowd of pterodactyls. Now he’s raised taxes on all citizens illegally, because we have no rights or a constitution! This is why it’s so important that the £45,000,000 that my great-grandfather passed down to his son and his son to his son and his son to my mother’s pterodactyl get into the right hands! I can trust you with this, yes? Again, this message is private, so please don’t share it with anyone! Just share it with 60 friends, and please be sure they share it with 60 friends (i.e. 60 x 60 which is more than 120, but I can’t say by how much, as I’m being watched very closely by lawyer pterodactyls). Please be safe!

With a Heavy Heart of Sorrow,

Dr. Tumblr, L.D., K.F.Y., W.H.A.M., In Honor of His Loyal Servant
