Before I clicked on the message, all I saw was "Curtis Anthony — PROPOSAL." "Hmm, I wonder it could be? A business proposal, perhaps? Lucrative, maybe? Oh goody, oh goody, oh goody…"
"100% LEGAL!"
That's hilarious. I wasn't even wondering, "Is this legal?" That's like the kind of thing you have to say after explaining your million dollar idea to someone who has doubts.
"I don't know. Are you sure it's legal to transfer all those millions of dollars from those banks to your Swiss account?"
"Sure. In fact, it's One Hundred Percent legal!"
"Oh, ok then…If you say so…I'll go get my credit card…"
