      Hello! I am a rich and successful prince from the newly settled Mars colony 1 in 2220, I have made huge profits here from selling the local resources to unscrupulous earth companies but unfortunately local war lords have taken over the Mars bank and are holding all my money! I need someone from 200 years ago to buy me a small amount of Amazon gift cards and send them to my family so that in 2220 they are worth billions and I can pay mercenaries from earth to asaault the Mars bank to get my funds released, when this happens I give you my most honorable and trusted word that I shall send back in time a full quarter of my weath to you in Mars credits. Act now, do not delay, you and I can both be rich!

    My suspicion of the nature of the e-mail were first raised by the last name "Volkswagen" as they are a proud and reliable family, not known for frivolous communications.
    Also, Holmes would never agree to pay for Internet in 221B. I suspect Watson is leeching off 221A's Wi-Fi.

    Very noble of Watson though to want to find the actual woman in the pictures.

    "I was casually strolling through Reddit, as has been by habit these past few month, after my interminable experiences with gout, when I came upon the most curious creature, who upon further scrutiny was none other than the notorious outlaw Sam Bankman-Fried, engaged in rambunctious discourse with a young woman with whom I have not yet had the pleasure of an acquaintance."
