We are going to send your contract part payment of US$8.3Million to you via courier services I have secured every needed document to cover the money.

Please I need your urgent reply because the boxes are schedule to airlift as soon as we hear from you.

the english is poorer here than in the last example, but i think all aficionados will appreciate the ingenuity of this one. the elaborate description of the ‘2 security proof boxes’ alone is worth it. also, i like the attempt at motivation, here as ambiguous and difficult to make out as last time, but with a certain ominous quality that lends drama: ‘the intense nature of polity in London’. indeed!

again, the email address is from the Philippines. i might note that english has been widely spoken in the Philippines for many decades, and yet the composer of this missive seems unaware of how unlikely it would be for any actual “Dr. Eric Wilfred , PAYMENT Director United Nation in London” to write anything as illiterate as “I did not declare money to them please. If they call you and Ask you the contents please tell them the same thing OK”. finally, there is a paradox: the writer begins by addressing me as if we had corresponded before, even apparently signed a contract, and of course attempts to construct a reason for contacting me in particular, but then perforce must ask me my name, occupation, and exact address

“Dear Dr. Eric Wilfred , PAYMENT Director United Nation in London,

I regret to hear of the intensity of polity as it now stands in London, and I earnestly hope that you experience a more relaxed polity very soon. It pains me to leave you in this ambiguous state, but as you refer to my contract I am constrained to request of you my identity so that I will know who I a replying as.

We operate within a constantly changing time frame. The mail delivery on Saturdays in the United States will soon be ended, and I will need to work harder to assume a casual attitude when receiving security proof boxes sealed with Synthetic nylon seal and padded with machine.

thanking you most mysteriously, i remain”
