I received an interesting letter in the mail today. The letter is from one of those "quickie" land buyers who prey on the ignorant people. I bought a lot which is in a subdivision on Toledo Bend Reservoir on the Texas side 34 years ago. The letter offers me $250 for the residential lot.
Does anyone have a creative way to respond to this guy to send the message of "Don't ever do that again!"? I wanted to post the redacted letter to Facebook, but don't know if that is legal or not. Words escape me on how people can do things like that.
Exactly!
But don't even decline, at the end. Just get progressively more "weird" in your replies.
"So, I'm just about ready to 'sign on the line that is dotted*'. But one final thing: I need your reassurances that the Big Foot living here on the property will be allowed to remain."
*"Glengarry Glen Ross" reference.
Regards,
Waterbury (Emhardt) wants to buy the house owned by elderly Sadie Grimes (Nolan), despite her demanding a price five times the house's worth. Grimes tells Waterbury how her son was killed by an unseen figure in that house over stolen loot, and the loot was never found. Grimes put the house on the market to trap the killer, because only they would agree to the exorbitant price for the sake of the loot. Waterbury confirms her suspicion, but he dies because Grimes has poisoned his drink.
Regards,

I wouldn’t completely dismiss the offer to buy. If you work it correctly, you might be able to negotiate a deal that includes extended warranties for any vehicles that you own.
We get those monthly on Cedar Creek Lake.
Are you selling? Toledo Bend is an AWESOME lake!

Simple. Tell him you’re holding up your right hand and wiggling your fingers. Ask, “Have you ever received an encrypted message? One of these is for you.”
