Did I mention I received two copies? No? I received two copies.

So let's see: duplicate mailing, purported author has Chinese name, e-mail comes from someone with a French name and a UK e-mails address. What could possibly go wrong?

And the email address is from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.  Which is actually quite famous in medicine.

So we have here an astute businessman, of Chinese extraction, using his French medical student boyfriend's email address for business purposes. Sounds legit.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

At least you've determined it's not one of those crooked scams from Nigeria - go for it!

I don't see the problem. It sounds like a win-win.

It's a French guy, so he must be honest.  He wouldn't have the balls to run a scam on someone.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I don't know, with recent events it seems the French's balls are finally dropping. 

Then again, consider their uplifting message of solidarity!  gotta be legit.   :rofl:
