I get many enthusiastic missives from Mohammed Abubaker and his friends of the sort:

No doubt you have been presented with such business opportunities too. There is surely a hilarious story to report, that will result if one follows up on one of these mails with the same false sincerity that it was sent. But somehow I don't have the energy for it. Perhaps someone else can pick up the challenge...
