You evil person you... criticizing the grammar and spelling of a poor soul who's just trying to give you $5000 per day! I bet you leave the top off the toothpaste and leave the toilet seat up on a regular basis, too

You're a tripe! What the hell is that about? I guess we have to assume translation error somewhere along the line.

Although, really, there are so many things wrong in this whole piece that I stand in awe of the person who wrote it; after all, where should I even start, spelling? Grammar? Factual inaccuracies?

Like wow! Or WOW! Although only a contractor the Finance MINISTER wanted to handle your payment personally? How important does that make you feel? Do you get Birthday and Christmas cards from Thomas Yayi Boni as well?

Mind, I'm surprised that Soule Lawani is no longer Finance Minister, he only got the role last year after much dubious wrangling. Poor sod, African politics is so hard to handle. Also, strictly speaking his official title is, as befits a French-speaking nation, Ministere de l'Economie et des Finances.

Ho hum.

Has to be one of the most unconvincing and poorly constructed scams ever.

I could have potentially written a better critique, but just reading it once gave me a headache, and I don't want to start a competition for the most humorous critique. That's one I would lose.
