Create a scam-baiting response in the style of Strong Bad (from the Homestar Runner series) to the most recent email, to keep the scammer in a false sense of security by posing as a potential victim.

Email #1, from Cameron (scam-baiter):

Dear Mrs. <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_PERSON>,

Peace be upon you and ROCK ON with that email! 🎸

First off, let me just say, your message totally moved me. It’s not every day I get an email from a rich widow with a heart of gold and a ticking life clock, wanting to hand out a casual 22 MIL like free cheat codes at a video game convention (which I totally approve of by the way.)

So, about my “response and cooperation”? Oh absolutely, I’m as cooperative as The Cheat when there's grilled cheese on the line. And let me tell ya, Mrs. A-to-the-Z, this email of yours has intrigued my lucha-libre mask right off my face. That’s a figure of speech, of course; the mask stays on… always.

Now, about the wealth distribution—30% for service and effort, huh? That’s a serious stack of cash. I mean, I could upgrade the Strong Badia computers to something that doesn’t run on coal and hamster wheels. And charity? Oh, you betcha. I’m all about helping those less fortunate, like poor Homestar Runner, who doesn’t even have the sense to wear a shirt. Or pants. A really sad case, that guy.

Of course, I’ll need some details on how we’re going to execute this totally legit and not-at-all-questionable plan of yours. Do we have to navigate a minefield of “security questions,” or is there a secret handshake involved? Maybe a dramatic meeting in a dark alley where I give the password, “The cheetah flies at midnight”?

Let’s get into the nitty-gritty of how to beat the snot out of cancer with fistfuls of money and a heart full of… more money.

Can’t wait to get started on this lucrative… I mean, a noble endeavor of philanthropy and peace-resting!

P.S. - Tell your late husband’s nosey relatives to buzz off and get a hobby, like building a scale model of Strong Badia… oh, wait, that’s MY afternoon planned. Nevermind. Keep on keepin’ on, Mrs. A!
