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?

Message: Thanks. I need 6qty eBay, Visa or American Express gift cards for $200 each (total $1200). You can get them at any local store around you. I will be glad if you can purchase them soon and I will reimburse you back as soon as each staff member confirms theirs. When you get them, just scratch each card at the back and take a picture of them and attach it to the email then send it to me here so that i can easily forward them to each staff email address. Just hold on to the cards for future reference. Kindly let me know when you are on your way to the store and don’t forget to make this confidential until they all have the gift cards. Thanks. Regards
