From my Togo friend - Fwd: Let me know your opinion

A little crazy came my way. Sharing it.

Hi! I just wanted to share this email with you! Why? Because I have no * idea what it is supposed to be saying.

How on earth has anyone EVER been fooled by these things? "Banque Atlantique"? What is that, BankAtlantic for the tropics?

Let me know your opinion, it says.
My opinion?
The writing sucks,
the grammar is horrible, and
you forgot to capitalize your own first name.

Your turn, "Mr. Gouna".
