This is the first Lad letter sent to Scamorama in which a Lad attempts to impersonate a head of state. Or rather, it would be impersonation if the Lads could spell his name properly. Bahrain does have an emir. His name is Sheikh Hamad Bin Issa al-Khalifa. He probably has better things to do than send pathetic Lad e-mails to strangers, and he probably can do better than a free webmail service. Whatever he may be doing at the moment, it's a good bet he's not sitting in a cyber cafe in Lagos working out ways to swindle retirees out of a few hundred euros.
