Friends, I have arrived.
Someone paid real money to mail me my very own Nigerian Prince scam. I haven’t seen one of these in years, and never before have I received one via the US Postal service. They have always been via email, which makes sense because it’s cheap.
But this wonderful communiqué was printed on the best 8.5″ x 11″ bog-standard printer paper that money can buy, lovingly edited to include the finest factual and grammatical errors (“Reputable Bank”, a Canadian COVID victim in February of 2020, strange misuse of quotations, commas, and capitalization, etc), and directs me to communicate with a superb free email account. They even included a black and white clip art picture. I’m amazed at the cheek of it all.
You’re not anyone until someone spends real money on scamming you. I’m flattered!
