Q: I’ve got a fax from Spain, which I’ve never had something to do with. It says, for short, that a man passed away in an accident with his family ten years ago leaving some billion euro in the safety box of a bank. Apparently the sender is the lawyer or someone in charge of taking care of his assets, and he is in desperate looking for anyone related to the billionaire so as to pass on the money to the legitimate heirs. Suggesting such a large amount of money most likely makes people keep their guard up but might be effective to screen out greedy people to fool. Also, suggesting that he or she is half randomly faxing the notice to people on a public directory only by the identical surname as the deceased is quite an ingenious tactic to obfuscate their vicious intention behind it and get more responses from less cautious people. I wish I could pretend to be one of the legitimate heirs with the same family name, but unfortunately it’s not identical to mine but my given name. In Japan, the thing is the other way around: first name follows family name.
soa natural?
