Now they claim to be an American on a church mission in Isreal, here is why they aren’t.
First of all, why is there a need for a mission in Isreal? I thought the point of a mission was to help those in need and spread Chrsitianity. Now, there are people in need, but I doubt the the people living in the place where the religion’s head figure was born need to learn about it.
Second, what native English speaker writes like this?
Third, how many Americans spell it “cheque,” and I thought I was dealing with a money order. Which is a completly different beast than a check. Also notice who he speaks of three different payment types.
Fourth, who signs their name in a way like Mr (first and last name) notice how they missed the period after Mr.
I can always tell a scam, in fact from this guys first email I knew it was probably a scam, but in the chance that it wasn’t I replied.
BTW, the new low is claiming to be on a church mission to seem like a trustworthy person.
I like making fun of native speakers who make fun of non-native speakers.
