A real, live Nigerian Prince Scam

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!
