Dear Esteemed Recipient,

Good news!  YOU have been selected to receive a no strings attached $500 Amazon gift card. Simply provide your name, what you might purchase with this money, your address, phone number, and a photo of your credit card (front and back!) for verification. Don’t let this chance slip by! Respond quickly!

Best Regards, 

Mr. Gary Paul

Dear Selected Individual,

Wow, what impeccable timing! It turns out that you my friend have been selected to partake in the Bless Wealthy Fund, which can provide you with a 10,000 US Dollar Gratitude Payment for your contributions to the world! All we ask is a small, one-time verification fee of $200 in Google Play gift card codes. Think of it as an investment—a speck compared to your soon fortune. Simply send the codes, and the funds will be released.

Warmly,

Mr. Steve Mike

Dear Steve Mike,

It’s not every day that I find another strapping young bachelor like myself offering fortune. I would love to partake in this Bless Wealthy Fund, and I am happy to report that I am on my way to my local CVS to buy the giftcards. Are you a fan of chocolate, perhaps? Anyways, make sure you get your information to me to claim your FREE Amazon gift card!

Graciously,

Mr. Gary Paul

Dear Gary Paul,

You flatter me! I can’t wait to see the items you bought at CVS. Make sure to type out the numbers of the gift cards correctly- in fact, it may be easier if you were to read out the numbers in a recording, nice and slow so I can hear! Your 10,000 dollar Gratitude Payment is waiting for you!

With care,

Mr. Steve Mike

Dear Steve,

I hope your chocolates were as sweet as you! I am still waiting on that photo of your credit card information (don’t forget those silly little 3 digits on the back!) to verify your reward. Speaking of silly things, I think I accidentally redeemed the gift cards by accident. I would hate for this to ruin my chances for the Gratitude Payment! Is there any way we could meet in person to discuss this business proposal?

Wishing you the best,

Gary

Dear Gare-Bear,

Don’t worry about the little mistakes- we can come to some sort of agreement, perhaps adding another Google Play card to your verification fee. This sort of exception cannot be typed however, so I agree. We must meet to finish this transaction. You can find me at 123 Sesame Street with open arms for you, partner!

With love,

Stevie
