What fun!!!! Mr. Ebby Miller wants me to mule checks for him. Somehow I don't think our
virtual assisting firm handles that.

Just a heads up.

The job is printing fake/frudulent cheques - best advice is to delete and ignore any offers like this.

The next mail will most likely be something similar to this;
