Having some difficulty finding you. It transpires that Cho isn’t as uncommon a name as I believed it to be. I’m going to pop into the Dahsong Bank HQ and see if they can page you.

Great to hear from you. I don’t ask much in a bank, but I do view the sharing of internal office memos with customers as an absolute prerequisite.
Anyway, sequel to that, I’d like to go for the Savings Plus Reserve Account. Pond for Pond, it seems like the best bang for my buck.

I’ve changed my mind. I’d like to go with the Current Plus Reserve Account. The 1 million GBP limit of the Savings Plus Reserve Account is a real bottleneck for me.
Can we commence this as soon as possible, please? I don’t have much days here on Earth.

Charles,
How high do the tiers really go? Don’t mess with me here. If there’s something higher than the Diamond Reserve Account, then I want to know about it. Ideally it’d be a Current Advantage Plus Diamond Reserve. But I’d settle for a Current Plus Diamond. I really think you’re restricting yourself with just these four tiers. Is there someone I can speak to about this?

Dear Scam Victim.
I am Henry McLurkin am a legal practitioner and human rights activist. It was brought to our notice that some people here engage themselves in email scams, hereby extorting money from innocent people online in pretense of Winnings and so on. Your name was among those scammed as listed by the Nigeria Financial Intelligent Unit. Your compensation is Three Million United States Dollars. I know this may sound strange and unbelievable to you but it is true.
From: James Veitch
To: Henry McLurkin
Subject: Re: COMPENSATION Date: September 25 5:28 pm
Henry, you’re 100% right. I was a scam victim. I ended up sending money to people all over the place and nothing ended up coming of it. We never made an investment and, as I predicted, hummus sky-rocketed circa 2011. Question. Is there any way we can hunt down these rascals? I’m willing to travel.
It does sound strange and unbelievable, you’re right, but then again, so did Tamagotchis and they were a goer.

I’m SO sick of all those fake lawyers, Henry. Telephone: (020) 7774 1000 Address: 16 Ringdonut St., W1 42SFGS
But oh, Henry! First there was my friend Alex and then Godwin and then Mary and Gary and then, well, I can’t remember them all but Elena was the latest. Elena was wonderful, Henry; wonderful in a way I can’t describe (mostly because we’d never met). But she had that insouciance and selfless disarming charm that we’re all after, aren’t we Henry?
Anyway, you know they say “’tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all”? Well, whoever said
that had clearly not met Elena either. Because it’s killing me. I spend whole days in my room listening to 10cc’s I’m Not in Love and that Feist song Secret Heart which is actually better than the original.
I digress. Send me the 3 million. It will be easier to forget her if I have a few houses.
