Tell him you are not sure if you are dead or not, but you will have a doctor check you. Then, the next email, tell him the doctor is not sure either, because you are breathing, but you have no heartbeat. And is it ok for a person in your condition proceed with a business transaction? Very Happy

^^^^ "...you are breathing, but you have no heartbeat..." Shocked

that'll definitely confuse the lad!

Maybe having a safe dropped on you by incompetent bank robbers rendered you temporarily brain dead, but despite now having severe mental side effects, you wish to continue your transaction to get the fund.

You can insert "Fuck you" or other obscene insults in your emails to him with impunity. Blame your illness which causes you to curse randomly. You apologize. Very Happy

I sent this email to him this morning. I'll let you know if he responds. Very Happy

Dear Mr. Barker Ronald,

I received this letter a couple of days ago, and was very surprised.
Why would I be getting 10 million dollars, and who is the money from?
Please let me know, ok? You asked me if I was alive or not, so I went
to my doctor to make sure, as I'm very old, and sometimes I'm not sure
myself. He told me that I was breathing well, and I had normal
brainwaves, but he couldn't hear my heartbeat. I'm going back for
more tests tomorrow. If he determines that I'm dead, does that mean I
will not get the money?

Regards,
Dana Scully

Some good ideas on "dead OR alive" modalities can be found in this thread...

Apparently, it doesn't matter if I'm dead or not....as he responded to my silly email. Laughing

I actually had one lad going for quite a while by telling him that my doctor was not sure whether I was alive or not, he had to order more tests, blah blah blah. It went for several rounds of emails befire he finally dumped me. Laughing

I think I'll send him one of those flipped or upsidedown, or both! emails.
One will be the flipped information he wanted, and the other will be an upsidedown doctor's test results. I'll ask him to read it, and tell me if I'm dead or not, as my glasses broke today. Very Happy
