Now, I said to myself "How hard can that be?" and applied. I received an e-mail saying that I was excepted and began editing bunched e-mail correspondence written in just awful english. I edited a few rounds of these when I stumbled across another blog finding out it was a scam. I quickly wrote back to them saying I couldn’t edit their text anymore and I was sent this letter to edit:
