This one is a little more clever, isn't it. It might be beneficial to scrape
names off of publication sites and say to them "I am fan of your work at
[capitalized(strip_tld(domain_name))]."

Hello,
I am a Russian financial analyst. My specialization is the analysis of the
current situation in the Russian share market. I work for the US companies
and now expect the wages payout from them. Payment Dept Manager advised me
to find a USA Citizen in order to receive my money because they experience
troubles with paperwork on adding Russian person to their staff. 
That's why I ask you for help and will pay you %% of my wages. The wages is
about to be $2,000 per week.
Can you help?

Mikhail Shteyman,
