(In Chinese)
Hi, I am the emperor of the Qin dynasty (207 BC). I am not actually dead because I found the medicine of immortality. I want to rebuild my empire but I currently don't have any money. Can you send me a few liang (兩, Chinese mass unit) of gold to get started? I must heavily reward you when my empire thrives again.
Edit: I typed this from memory. Apparently this is a reply to another ridiculous scam message of someone pretending to be the son of 蔣介石 (leader of Republic of China in 1928-1975).
