"If there is anything I can possibly do to bring it up far enough to an A that would be splendid."
"Good luck to you at the APA, but if you have to come to Chicago, you have a place to crash, for sure."
"I did not get a chance, after class, to tell you how much I enjoyed your class. It is nice to have a class that makes you WANT to think."
"I also know that now you can't be friends with me because I scare you, because I can manipulate you, and that means that I am smarter then [sic] you, and you can't have absolute control."

Based on this, I had to contact you bearing in mind that you will be humane enough to protect my life. My father finally died on the 5th of June, 2005 and since then, I was out of school and went into hiding because of my father's associates. All the relevant documents of the $8.000,000.(Eight Million United States Dollars) that was deposited in a Commercial Bank by my late father, are with me now. I will give you 15% of the total money, if you can help me transferring it into your Account, for onward investment in your country."

"It's on the web? Really? I've submitted essays before, but I didn't know that my work got put up that fast . . . sadly it doesn't surprise me, though. There are a lot of things that get posted to the internet and people never realize it. Perhaps that is what's happened here? Maybe someone got a hold of my paper and posted it to the internet?"
"My lawyer has advised me to send this cease and dissect [sic] letter to you via certified mail."
