What? You mean you don't trust a U.S. Department of Treasury email from a UK Liaison with a Japanese Email Contact? Seems legit to me.

Wait, it's a dept. of treasury email from a UK liaison personally assisted by Gordon Brown trying to put me in contact with a diplomatic agency official at JFK with a Japanese email address. What's there to worry about?

HELLO THOMAS OLDFIELD,

SINCE YOUR NAME IS IN CAPITAL LETTERS I WILL ADDRESS THIS EMAIL IN ALL CAPITALS AS RESPECT TO YOUR TRADITIONS.

THIS EMAIL COULD NOT HAVE COME AT A BETTER TIME AS I AM IN NEED OF THE MONEY FOR MY SEX REASSIGNMENT SURGERY. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW WE CAN EXPEDITE THIS ORDER AS MY SURGERY IS SCHEDULED FOR NEXT FRIDAY THE 13TH OF NOVEMBER.

I DO HOPE THAT THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS WITH MY SURGERY SINCE IT IS THE 13TH OF NOVEMBER WHICH IS A FRIDAY, THAT WOULD BE BAD LUCK.

I HAVE ACCESS TO THE US $1,000 US FUNDS AMERICAN MONEY, COULD IT BE POSSIBLE TO GET A PICTURE OF THE DOCUMENTS SO THAT I CAN CHECK THE STATUS AND LEGITIMACY OF SAID DOCUMENTS?

COULD YOU TAKE A PICTURE OF YOU HOLDING THE DOCUMENTS?

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANY MORE INFORMATION THAT IS NEEDED TO RELEASE MY FUNDS. I AWAIT YOUR FOLLOW-UP EMAIL WITH MONEY IN MY HANDS!

THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF THE USA
