This sounds like one of those Nigerian scams.

I guess Uganda can have Nigerian scams too. 😀 What are they offering? 50% of the profits for 10 years? How much good faith money do they want? 🤭

To: Mark17

Some say that the Northern Lights are the glare of the Arctic ice and snow;
And some that it’s electricity, and nobody seems to know.

But I’ll tell you now—and if I lie, may my lips be stricken dumb—
It’s a mine, a mine of the precious stuff that men call radium.

It’s a million dollars a pound, they say, and there’s tons and tons in sight.
You can see it gleam in a golden stream in the solitudes of night.

And it’s mine, all mine—and say! if you have a hundred plunks to spare,
I’ll let you have the chance of your life, I’ll sell you a quarter share.

You turn it down? Well, I’ll make it ten, seeing as you are my friend.
Nothing doing? Say! don’t be hard—have you got a dollar to lend?

Just a dollar to help me out, I know you’ll treat me white;
I’ll do as much for you some day... God bless you, sir; good-night.
