It just begins in a older formal style that happens to have been adopted to the infamous Nigerian scammers. That doesn't mean that it was created by the same process.
On the Internet, as in our day-to-day lives, people often focus on details while missing the larger context. Similarly, they often take issue with someone's words rather than seeing the words as only partial evidence of the nature of the generating process. The stronger indicators of an actual scam would an offer to good to be true, a stupidity filter that passes only marks stupid enough to fall for a scam, artificial urgency, requirement of an initial commitment, or appeals to greed or other base emotions that make it unlikely for the mark to pursue a claim afterward. This looks to me like an older gentleman, trying to do something with gravity and honor that is unusual--and thus suspect--in our present society. - Jef N5JEF On Fri, Dec 12, 2014 at 11:21 AM, Nick Kemp <[email protected]> wrote: > I agree that the text style is suspicious.
