This gem at 12:02am:

DEAR SIR/MADAM

MY NAME IS MR.HAYS TIMOTHY OF TELEX/COMPUTER DEPARTMENT OF THE AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK,KETA GHANA.

I AM SENDING THIS PRIVATE EMAIL BASED ON THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF THE TRANSACTION. PLEASE, I WILL LIKE TO ADVISE IF AFTER GOING THROUGH MY
PROPOSAL AND YOU DO NOT ACCEPT IT, KINDLY KEEP IT TO YOURSELF.

AS OF THIS MOMENT, I AM STILL IN SERVICE WITH THE ADB GHANA (ADB). AND I WILL NOT BY ANY MEANS LIKE TO LOSE MY JOB, IF YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED.
I HAVE PUT IN OVER 23 YEARS IN THIS BANK BUT I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO
SHOW FOR IT.

THIS IS JUST MY OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE SURE THAT I GIVE MY CHILDREN A DECENT TRAINING SINCE MY GOVT. WHICH IS CORRUPT HAS REFUSED TO TAKE
CARE OF ITS RESPONSIBILITY. IN FACT I AM SICK AND TIRED OF EVERYTHING HERE I NEED TO GET OUT.

I FOUND OUT THAT YOU ALMOST MET ALL THE
STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS IN RESPECT OF YOUR PAYMENT. PLEASE BE EQUALLY ADVISED THAT NO SECURITY COMPANY IN THE WORLD CAN HANDLE YOUR CONTRACT PAYMENT/INHERITANCE FUND WITH ANY BANK WITHOUT THE INSTRUCTIONS OF THE
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK.

YOUR PROBLEM IS THAT OF INTEREST GROUP IN THE CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA THAT IS SUPPOSED TO TRANSFER YOUR FUND WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE ADB. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN YOUR PAYMENT AND THAT EXPLAINS WHY YOU RECEIVE EMAILS AND PHONE CALLS FROM DIFFERENT PEOPLE EVERYDAY.

THEIR WHOLE GAME PLAN IS TO FRUSTRATE YOU IN ORDER FOR YOU TO ABANDON THE CONTRACT PAYMENT AND THEN, THEY WILL BE COMFORTABLE AND FREE ENOUGH TO TRANSFER THE CONTRACT FUNDS INTO THEIR OVERSEAS ACCOUNT.

THEIR AIM AND TARGET IS NOT THE MONEY YOU ARE GIVING THEM BUT TO FRUSTRATE YOU. HENCE, YOU HAVE LOST TRUST ON WHOM TO BELIEVE TO BE GENUINE.

I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THIS MAY LAST FOR YEARS, YET NOTHING HAPPENS. TO SUM IT UP, I WISH TO ASSURE YOU THAT WITH MY POSITION HERE IN THE TELEX DEPARTMENT, I CAN PUNCH THE COMPUTER AND CREDIT YOUR ACCOUNT STRAIGHT.

I CAN ACCOMPLISH THIS UNDER FIVE WORKING DAYS. BUT WE HAVE TO REACH AN AGREEMENT. FIRST OF ALL, YOU HAVE TO LET ME KNOW HOW MUCH YOU WILL GIVE ME AT THE CONSUMMATION OF THIS DEAL.
FINALLY, YOU WILL HAVE TO ACCEPT TO KEEP THIS TRANSACTION STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL IF YOU ACCEPT MY PROPOSAL, KINDLY GET BACK TO ME IMMEDIATELY AND CONFIRM YOUR PARTICULARS ON REPLY.

REGARDS,
MR.HAYS TIMOTHY.
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK.

Mine wasn't until around 7am, a confirmation email from commonapp.org saying that my College Apps had been downloaded by my colleges.
 
Mine was from a friend of mine about a meeting that we both had just had. We both help out with the youth group at our church and were planning some of the upcoming events.
 
Well I checked and here's the result from my two gmail accounts.

I probably deleted my first email of the year, but according to my inbox, the first email of the year was from a French t-shirt website that tells me that they've put in 5 euros in my account for being an "awesome customer" (although I haven't bought a shirt from them in almost 2 years now)
 
My first email of the year was from my 78 year old grandfather, who bless his soul, sent out a happy new year email at 12:04.
:D
