citing a mental evaluation that he said showed Burbank suffered from "deep-seated psychological problems."

Yes. It's called stupidity.

ATTN: Director/Ceo ,

With due respect, trust and humanity, I write this letter to you seeking your
help and assistance though Its difficult since we have not met before.

I got your good contact from the internet research online regarding your
business profile and sincerity. I believe that you are capable and reliable in
handling this urgent international transaction of this sort.

I am James Border Gezi, the son of the comrade Border Gezi the Zimbabwean
former Minister for Youth & Gender Equality who is also a businessman and
politician, in the Zimbabwean political arena .

Okay, enuf! Just send me cash and all your credit card numbers if you want me to quit spamming your email account.

Burbank told authorities ....she and her now-estranged husband were invited to Newark, N.J., where two Udoma associates showed them four packages of black paper the size of currency. The men washed five of the papers in what they said was a chemical that cost $125,000 a bottle, and the papers turned into $100 bills......

ROTFL. Hard to believe there are people stupid enough to believe this. Betcha I can guess what her political affiliation is (smirk).

She raided her escrow trust fund and took money she was supposed to have transferred to banks in real estate transactions, leaving people holding the bag when the deals collapsed.

And she got 3 year??? It seems to me that when you as a fiduciary you take active measures to defraud them of their life's savings and ruin their lives you ought to get life in the slammer.

Darn! That's heartbreaking.

Did he leave an address where I can send money?
