My initial response:

"Dear (Redacted),

Thank you so much for your reply and many apologies for my tardy response. My only excuse is that I am an old man of 87 years of age, and thus do not follow my email every day.

Your story is a fascinating one and reminds me of my younger days when I was a fighter pilot in the RAF, flying the magnificent Icarus BS fighter and seeing action in Malaysia and Dhofar. Those where the days, I tell you! Full of exitement and action, followed by enjoyable nights in the brothels.

Anyway, even though I am an old man, I am very interested in helping you out of your predicament. From your words I deduce that discression and smoothness is of the essence in this transaction.

Anyway, here are the requested details:

Name: Leonidas Harry Rupert Lauritz Johansen

Address: 44 Abbey Road
343 Candleford W1
United kingdom

Telephone: After many years as a fighter pilot, I have developed a severe hearing impairment, but I can be reached via my sister Lilly on this phone number: redacted.

Now, as for possible investments here in UK, I will need some time to do some searching. Of course, as a former fighter pilot, I will of course recommend buying some shares in Icarus Aviation, but apart from that I need to study the stock exchange for a bit.
I need to ask you one important thing though; are you a man of Christ? Do you observe prayer and fasting? I ask you because I am a praying man myself, and concerned about charities. Would you be prepared to set aside a portion of the funds for charities? Mrs. Hannigan from our local orpanage has told me that the roof in the childrens sleeping hall is leaking and in dire need of repair.

Anyway, we can talk more about this later on.

Best regards, prayers and blessings

Lenny"
