This landed in my inbox this morning. I wanna know where my sacks 'o cash will be? I guess I determine the amount, huh?

And, of course I would run a hotel/inn for these folks to occupy while I teach 8 adults 3 hours a day for four weeks straight.

and the next class will be for the benefit of an old lost relative, The Honorable Jebediah Maximus Clark of Lagos, Nigeria. Just please forward all your bank accounts, lines of credit , and Social Security numbers to the above-mentioned email address. And be sure to keep it conversational, and non-announcer.

...never thought i'd see mr. banks as a "low-baller".

...or did he mean "per-person"?

DB, your bid must've been too high so they came to me. Smile

Gotta hand it to them for being specific and customizing the plot.

I decided to delete it because I don't like that many people in my studio.

I got a very similar email from someone wanting singing voice lessons for two of their children. Parts of the wording are eerily similar, although it was a different country.

But I just ignored it as spam and deleted it.

You think maybe they could be harvesting email addresses from one of the P2P sites we're on?
