A prominent Brigham City citizen received a letter from South of the Border promising him a tidy $100,000 for little more trouble than going to Mexico and picking it up. Fortunately that citizen is not one of the suckers born every minute" and he could see through the shallow plan of larceny without even grand bothering to put on his reading glasses. The letter, which follows shortly, is more or less self explanatory, but the routine is to lure the gullible soul to Mexico on the pretense that he will be doing a humanitarian thing and legally cleaning up a sum of money while there.
