Hello,
This is to invite you to an investment opportunity involving a lucrative business proposal for a common interest to share with you. (Seriously? The sentence structure here tells me this person *might* not be well-versed in the English language.)

I am Mr. Shunji Takeshi from Hong Kong. This concerns the transfer of a large amount of money (Here we go...a large sum of money for absolutely no reason...). Everything about this transaction shall be legally done without any problem (If this is a "legal" transaction he's proposing, I'm the Queen of England...). Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue.

If you are interested, mail back, through my private Email address, written above, (Ending a sentence with a comma? Sure, that makes it seem even more legit...)

I shall give you more informations (Informations? Funny, I thought the word was information...)about this proposal, as soon as I receive your positive response.

Kind Regards,

Mr.Shunji Takeshi.

(Yet another scammer trying to sound like there's a legitimate large sum of money somewhere with my name on it. The poor writing as well as the different from and reply-to email addresses give it away, too. Remember that old saying, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is? Always sound advice when these emails show up.)

If this post helped you or prevented a scammer from gaining another victim, let me know!  I'd love to hear your comments.
