Let’s clock it with an egg timer

You know the letters that start off like this:

Naturally, this letter will come to you as a surprise since
we have not met, permit me however to introduce myself; I
am Paul Rhodes, a white Zimbabwean Farmer, currently in
hiding in Zimbabwe.

Or it’s some variation thereof in which they go on to say how they need your help in getting money into the country?

So how long before we start seeing them that begin with, “I am (fill in name), and my entire family’s assets were wiped out by the tsunami in Indonesia…except for $15 million in a Swiss bank account…”
