There was this Spanish guy doing some business in Poland, and he came across an open funeral home with a casket laid out for viewing. Curious, he went in and was surprised to find no one there. He felt bad for the dead guy, said a prayer over the body, and signed the registrar. A month later he got a call from the dead guy's lawyer. Seems the dead guy's will stipulated his multi-million dollar fortune be split evenly amongst all who attended his wake.

The Spanish businessman was the only one who signed the book.

Hamburg, Germany -- A Spanish businessman and devout Roman Catholic who stopped to pray at a church during a trip to Stockholm ended up a millionaire, the Bild newspaper said Wednesday.

The church was empty except for a coffin containing the remains of a man, so Eduardo Sierra knelt down and prayed for the deceased for 20 minutes, the Hamburg-based daily said.

Sierra, 35, signed a condolence book after he saw a note saying those who prayed for the dead should enter their name and address. He noticed he was the first to sign.

Several weeks later he got a call from the Swedish capital informing him he was a millionaire, Bild said.

Jens Svenson, the man he had prayed for, was a 73-year-old real estate dealer with no close relatives. He had specified in his will that "whoever prays for my soul gets all my belongings," Bild said.
