A Nigerian millionaire who inherited his fortune after a deceased princess left him $30,000,000 in gold dust has complained that his generosity is being ignored. The millionaire decided last month to deposit the money in the bank account of a complete stranger in order to "make someone happy." However, after sending out hundreds of emails to potential recipients, he realised that he was being frustrated by a negative bias created by spammers. "They have made life very difficult for genuine philanthropist businessmen like myself. I have offered the money to thousands of people - I even labelled the emails 'MOST URGENT' and emphased the notion of trust. But no response...it is very sad."
