EMAIL CHAIN SO FAR:

THEM: Wed, Sept 20, 2023 - Hello, do you have any free time this evening?

ME: Thu, 21 Sept 2023 - Sure!

THEM: Thu, 21 Sept 2023 - Thanks for the response, Here’s what I want you to do for me because I am a little busy right now. I have been working on incentives and i aimed at surprising some of our diligent staff with gift cards. This should be Confidential until they all have the gift cards as it’s a surprise and you will keep one for yourself too. Can you get this done? and how soon?

ME: Thu, 21 Sept 2023 - Awesome! I can run over to Walmart right now and get some. How much and how many?

THEM: Thu, 21 Sept 2023 - Awesome, I need you to help me purchase 5 qty of Visa gift card $200 value on each (total of $1000) you should get them at any local store around you. After you get them take clear pictures of each card front and back and send to me on here so I can have them sent to each staff email address. Please keep the physical cards and receipt for reference purpose. I will be glad if you can purchase them now and I will reimburse you back later. Let me know if you’re on the way to the store.

ME: Thu, 21 Sept 2023 - Should I use the company credit card?

THEM: Thu, 21 Sept 2023 - Yes, you can do that.

NEXT STEP: I will create fake Amazon cards. Stay tuned!

WELL!!!

I’m just getting done with the $25 card I bought for myself. All fields are fully customizable. I need to create the scratched off version yet but check it out.

Once I put some blur and rasterization on it, it will look splendid!
