Dear Beloved ,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me,because, I
believe
everyone will die someday. My name is Adam Raymond. I have been
diagnosed
with Esophageal cancer.It has defiled all forms of medical treatment,
and
right now I have only about a few months to live,according to medical
experts.

Normally these things pass me by, but I found this one particularly obnoxious - my father died of oesophageal cancer 6 months ago. It's an extremely unpleasant way to die, and I find the use of it to gain sympathy for a scammer particularly low.

I don't know why I even read it at all - I guess my eyes are quite attuned to the words 'oesophageal' and 'cancer' these days, especially since I used to be a cancer research scientist.

Not that this has anything to do with Debian and laptops, so reply-to /dev/null I guess...
