If you get these emails often, you have to give credit to those who take the time to make them look legit. Like Mr. Mengfei. He gives us the classic three paragraph style letter (who we are? what we do/why we need you? What you get? But he cleans up all the bad spelling and punctuation, adds some numbers and other legitimizing facts about his organization and really sells it. So proud of you Mr. Mengfei. As you continue to find ways to lie, cheat and steal from naive lawyers, I encourage you to take some chances and provide us something a bit more entertaining.
