“I feel quite safe dealing with you” — My ex — who apparently died earlier this year — sent up warning flags from before we started dating — her comment on my nom de plume indicated we were long past due for disentanglement

“I will really like to have a good relationship with you and I have a special reason why I decided to contact you” — You want to be a Doctor of conning? She had said — to my use of Dr. Con as a way to obfuscate my public psychedelic self
“Due to the urgency of my situation” — she knew it was a con — struct — attempting to highlight modernity’s reliance on the con game as the only acceptable game
Due to the urgency of my situation
For some — Dr. Con is the only name they know me by — it is a shortening of Doc Concrescence — an obscure 20th-century novel never written — a failed nutraceutical company — and a 21st-century “Kava — Tea and Elixir Bar”
MISTAKES WERE MADE — At least I didn’t fall for the con
Sincerely,
Please exercise a little patience and read through my letter. I feel
quite safe dealing with you
I will really like to have a good relationship with you and I have a
special reason why I decided to contact you.
Due to the urgency of my situation, my name is ( ), a
21 years old female from Kenya in East Africa.
My step-mother has threatened to kill me because of my inheritance
($10.6 Million Dollars), please reply ( ) and I
will explain all to you.
Your Sincerely
