Tsunami

Here's one using the Tsunami. The subject was Wikipedia as if quoting wikipedia makes an email more legit.

A deceased client of mine, that shares the same last name as yours, who here in after shall be referred to as my client, died as the result of a heart-related condition on March 12th 2005.
