Such a low effort, ChatGPT copy and pasted email, so disappointing! Naturally, I replied with:
Dear Engineer Richard Spindler,
Great to meet you! I myself identify as a devout Christian and know that God is watching too and would love to contribute to your cause. My deepest condolences on your illness, and it's great that you are doing this as your final deed.
What can I do to help? Also, do I address you as Engineer or Richard?
Cheers.
He's not a Nigerian prince or shipping diamonds/gold so honestly, I'm having a hard time believing his cause.
James Veitch is someone who made a TedTalk years ago (which is my favourite TedTalk to date) on replying scam emails, and I was hoping that Engineer Richard Spindler would reply, but he didnt...oh well.
