I, Smith, have the following thoughts/comments on this suspected fraudulent email message from “Smith”:
You will explain better at the court of law Cathy, you have been reported to the policy for this scandal and you will pay for it.
You ask for a pink Kettle for R850 and i told you we don’t have it in stock but i can arrange the pink…which i did and now you were busy writing nonsense.
I will do all what it takes to deal you.
