 | A Scam from a Decade Ago |
In going through some old notes, I found an email correspondence that's pretty amusing. I've changed the names in case there's any real people identified in this. Note that I did not recieve this email, but it was drawn to the attention of someone at Lucasfilm. This predates my time with the company.
All typos have been preserved, for history's sake...
