at least he admits he's in Nigeria

Hi Georgey,

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you. I have been out of the country, filming my latest project. I got home late Saturday night and just opened up my inbox. What a nice surprise to come home to. I could really use this money to finance my next project.

Tell me, have you heard of Adrienne Populi?

Sincerely,
Adrienne
