The men allegedly claimed they were the prince’s personal assistants and asked for $15,500 in fees to process paperwork. After receiving the payment the men disappeared. They were later captured after the American filed a complaint with authorities.

I'm amazed they got captured. Hopefully they will get some jail time.

Here in Canada there is essentially no jail for white collar crime.

I have a great ship at my disposal (it made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs). However I need start-up cash for a new warp drive. I won't say exactly where this fortune will be found, except that its in the Chorax system.

Hello MD,
I think I'm doing ok, for a person in my condition. But I'm easily fooled!

I trust you have had a nice, and productive summer,and your people are doing well.
Still time to prepare for winter. It comes upon us so fast, though.

Best

That's why I just give 'em my credit card #'s, AA.
Put what you need on the plastic, I tell 'em.
When they're in town, they can come see me at the house... 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
