What I admire about this scam is how much effort has gone into identifying me as a scholar who works on Major Poet. Really, that’s almost worth $300.00. Or is that $300,000? Either way, Mr. Scam Artist, I refer you to a previous post on my personal debt and you will realize that I have nothing to spare, even to exalt a Major Poet.
