I Paid a Fake “James Patterson” $20K—What Happened Next Will Shock You!
Sending actual paper money in the mail is so risky these days, James. Instead, I feel that we should meet in person. Coincidentally, I’ll be in your neighborhood soon, and Café Boulud is one of my favorite bistros. I love their roasted carrot dish.
[Of course I have no intention of being there…or anywhere that charges $16 for a roasted carrot.]
Shall we say 2 p.m. on Sunday, October 25 to get the ball rolling?
Looking forward to our work together!

It’s been over a week, and I’ve heard nothing from him, so I count his silence as a success. He’s probably under anesthesia on the operating table in some plastic surgeon’s office, having his features rearranged so he’ll look like James Patterson when he shows up for his bag of $20,000 at Café Boulud.
