Dear Barrster Chris Micheal,

As an attorney, especially a personal attorney to a United States national on business abroad, I would expect you would have, at some point in your education, learned to write English properly. As such, you should be able to write coherently, with a minimum of spelling errors and grammar mistakes. If you wish to be taken seriously, you should make an effort to at least spell "Barrister" correctly, it being, after all, a name for your occupation.

Unfortunately, in light of the above observations, I will be unable to fall for your pitiful attempt at a scam. If you wish to trick people, either learn to write English, or hire someone who can.

Sincerely,
Adam Jaskiewicz
- Concerned intended victim of your
failed e-mail scam

P.S., since you mentioned two different e-mail addresses in your letter, I have sent one copy of this message to each. Please disregard the duplicate e-mail.
