A family in Nigeria was puzzled when the coffin of their dead mother arrived
from the USA , sent by their sister. The tiny corpse was so tightly squeezed
inside the coffin that their mother's face was practically touching the
glass cover. When they opened the coffin, they found a letter from their
sister pinned to their mother's chest, which read:-
Dearest brothers and sisters, I am sending you our mother's remains for
burial in Lagos . Sorry I could not come along, as the expenses were so
high. You will find inside the coffin, under Mama's body, 12 cans of Libby's
corned beef and12 cans of Luncheon Meat. Just divide it amongst yourselves.
On Mama's feet is a brand-new pair of Reeboks (size

for Junior. There are
four pairs of Reeboks under Mama's head for Tunde's sons.
Mama is wearing six Ralph Lauren T-shirts - one is for OMO, Roy and the rest
are for my nephews.
Mama is also wearing one dozen Wonder Bras (your favorite), just divide them
among yourselves. The 2 dozen Victoria 's Secret undies that Mama is
wearing should be distributed among my nieces and cousins.
Mama is also wearing eight Dockers pants - Ikeje, please get one for
yourself and the rest are for the boys. The Swiss watch you asked for, is on
Mama's left wrist, please get it.
Aunty Funmi, Mama is wearing what you asked for - earrings, rings and a
necklace; please take them also, the six pairs of Chanel stockings that Mama
is wearing must be divided among the teen-age girls there. I hope they like
the colors.
I believe you can arrange for a dress for mama before burial. Incase you
need anything that I may have forgotten, please let me know as UNCLE IS NOT
FEELING TOO WELL!!!
Your loving sister.
