Hello Sir,
I would really like to take your word about your mail but I have been aware of such funds before. Therefore I will require some proof beforehand to verify your letter.
I want you to know that I desire not for any joke to be heaped on me, so if it is not a joke then give me some congruent evidence.
I presume that you do comprehend the argument that I am articulating to you.
