Subject: [EXTERNAL] Reference: development of a Spacetime Portal and derived technologies - document version 13.0.0

Body:

Dear Rowan University - Department of Mechanical Engineering Staff/Professors/researchers/lecturers, I am a mechanical engineer from Brazil (M.Eng.) and former student from ITA and UNESP (which are among the best universities and institutes in Brazil). I have been contacting you regarding the development of a concept/design > of a Spacetime portal concept under a mechanical/electronic base and its possible applications. It is the version 13.0.0 of the document. I mentioned more arguments in favor of the viability of the Spacetime Portal design, and also the potential possibility of the use of a range of velocity for tests of a
future-telling machine. I am slowly revising the text. > It is sort of weird, but ever since I have been developing this Spacetime Portal concept I have been feeling what could be spacetime feedback (something like fingerprints with possible pattern – it could have awareness both spatial and in time).

Subject: Confidential Matter Regarding Potential Family Connection

Body:

Greetings,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am a private banker managing an offshore account for a CEO who may be your relative. I apologize for any inconvenience this email may cause and appreciate your understanding of the sensitive nature of this matter.

In 2017, one of my valued clients and his entire family tragically passed away in a car accident. Despite extensive efforts, we have been unable to locate any surviving relatives. During a recent search, I came across your LinkedIn profile and noticed that you share the same surname as my late client.

I am contacting you with a unique and urgent opportunity. My late client left behind assets totaling $17,000,000, which have remained unclaimed. To prevent these funds from being absorbed into the banking system, I am seeking your cooperation to act as the next of kin.

I understand that this request may be unexpected and raise concerns. Therefore, I urge you to consider this proposition carefully and let me know your thoughts and intentions. Please rest assured that confidentiality and discretion are paramount throughout this process, and we will adhere to all legal requirements meticulously.

I kindly request that you keep this communication private and respond directly to this email. For further discussion, please text me on WhatsApp at +1-680-202-4687.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards

Svitlana
