The following "Dear John" letter is meant to be ridiculously sarcastic. Apparently, I failed miserably in conveying the sarcastic tone.
Today, I got an email from my Contact Me form asking how much of a "boatload" of money I was able to get. It sounds like the individual who emailed me got a similar email from John or someone else and was considering my "response" as validation that he might himself become wealthy from this "opportunity".
As I mentioned in Neil Zhang, the emails I got and others like them are [obvious] scams.
I do apologize for my apparent failure. If you come across this blog post because you are considering contacting John or Neil or others like them DON'T.

Dear John,
Thank you so much for your concern and due diligence. It is awesome to know there are good people like you and Neil Zhang looking out for my best interest. I have, in fact, been contacted by BaoYuan Ltd and I have authorized them to register "sheppybrew". As compensation, they paid me a boat load of money, just as NILI Int'l Co.,Ltd did back in February. I was wealthy and now I am super wealthy thanks in large part to your tireless work.
Thanks again, and keep up the good work. Say "hi" to Neil for me.
Sincerely,
SheppyBrew Manager and Brew Master.
Dear Manager,
(If you are not the person who is in charge of this, please forward this to your CEO,Thanks)
This email is from China domain name registration center, which mainly deal with the domain name registration in China. We received an application from BaoYuan Ltd on January 15, 2013. They want to register " sheppybrew " as their internet keyword and China/Asia (CN/ASIA) domain names. But after checking it, we find this name conflicts with your company. In order to deal with this matter better, so we send you email and confirm whether this company is your distributor or business partner in China or not?
Best Regards
John
