violachicI've been hearing about this email going around. But for some reason I'm really amused that I got it. Especially because 1)they keep calling me "sir", and 2)my financial situation is so pathetic that it is amusing to think that anyone would think to try to scam me by flattering me into helping them with a financial matter.
