Phish: Grace Kenga Likes Me

Grace Kenga has offered me $14 Million for investing in my company, or is it in my country? Oh wait, it's a joint venture. (Clue #1- anyone investing that much money will actually know that investing in someone's company, country, and joint ventures are NOT the same thing).

But wait! She's so determined to work with me that she first emailed from Sierra Leone, and then 25 days later when she moved to India, she sent me her new email address. Aw. But really? Even if this were a legit offer of investment (which it so isn't), I wouldn't want to risk that much money with someone who doesn't even know the basics of business speak. Or spelling. Or who uses free, web based email.
