Dear Elisabeth,

It could be worse. They could say that your treasurer is a prince from an oil-
rich nation who is dying of oesophageal cancer, and you need help establishing
an orphanage in his memory.

Or perhaps you’d like the recipient of the email to invest €10,000,000 on your
behalf and you’ll give them 10% in advance if they give you a good-faith
accounting fee of only €5,000 and send you all their bank details so you can
transfer the funds.

I knew this was a phishing expedition because the story was relatively modest —
and because they spell pressident with two letters “s.”

Yours,

Ken Friedman
