This is a top-priority message from TIGHAR.

I represent the financial secretary of The Republic of Kiribati, a sovereign nation and member of the United Nations. My name is Nikumaroro and I am in possession of treasury notes equivalent to 500 million US dollars. These funds were found on Emelia Earhart’s crashed aeroplane.

In exchange for my passage and sponsorship to the United States, I am willing to evenly divide these funds with you.

Please send me your personal bank information (account and routing numbers, please) so that I might deposit the funds prior to arriving in the US. You will be designated as my immigration sponsor.

All this information is strictly above-board as you can see by my inclusion of my close personal friend and US Secretary of State, Mr. Jon Cary in the distribution list of this email. Accordingly, I will request you furnish the “Jon Cary for President” campaign fund an appropriate contribution.

Please replay to my missive at your convenience.
Your sincreely,
Nikumaroro

Actually, Amelia was a ding-a-ling that could fly an airplane, not well, but she could fly one.

You really should throw in a “late Reverend” for added credibility.
