Dear phishers,

If ever you need someone to help you with your spelling and grammar to make
your phishing emails just a bit convincing, drop me a mail and I will
proof-read your scam texts. I have a degree in English and I was regularly
top of my class for spelling. Whilst I do not doubt your technical
bot-writing capability, the standard of your text is generally poor and a
dead giveaway. I will help!

Ta,

JR
