Dear Assasin

There are many benefits to being marine biologist

Best regards

Khalifa,

I don't know who you are. I don't know why you are asking. If you are looking for closure, I can tell you that I won't give you any. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let this go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and you will know what a Marine Biologist does.

Regards

Such a weird email. Would be hilarious as a skit and the evil doer responds and is like 'Yes, 100 percent I am evil and you should assassinate me. Please do so with haste.'

[–] Chakravanti@monero.town 1 points 1 hour ago

OK, Dr. Horrible.

Dear Assassin,

Where do I send all the corpses of you and your colleagues? I already have 2 here starting to rot.

Oh, I have traced back your address from your IP.

See you in a few hours!

[–] Event_Horizon@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago

This is a marine biologist. He would have fed the corpses to his various aquarium animals and ocean friends.

Dear assassin,

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

Never mess with someone trained in gorilla warfare. Those gorillas don't mess around.

[–] voodooattack@lemmy.world 42 points 1 day ago

Thank you for your service

Copy pasta of yore

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world -2 points 1 day ago

A long time ago, I used an AI James Taylor voice and had him cover this. Sounds like he had a stroke or had a few too many. It's pretty stupid.

Re: assasination

Dear Mr. Shamoon

No reason. Please proceed.

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 44 points 1 day ago

They wanted to be an architect anyway.

[–] Kellenved@sh.itjust.works 120 points 1 day ago (8 children)

Every top assassin knows to start your emails by explaining you are in fact a top assassin.

[–] Rusty@lemmy.ca 35 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Noone wants to be confused with a bottom assassin.

[–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

If there's a "best" assassin, it stands to reason that there's also a "worst" assassin.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

Maybe the worst assassins are all the friends we made along the way.

the assassassin is to be feared

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

and saying your name right away is the first thing any top assassin should do when sending emails to their victims.

The names's Bond. James Bond.

[–] SirActionSack@aussie.zone 8 points 1 day ago

Top Assassin (in the room).

Definitely in the top three assassins on the street (depending on the street)

[–] Tiger_Man_@szmer.info 10 points 1 day ago

Professionals have standards

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Once there’s 47 Re:’s in the subject of the final email a call comes in

“Contract complete. Well done 47.”

Another classic Hitman assassination of getting someone to kill themselves due to never ending meaningless emails

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Top top, or like top 10 in the graduating class?

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Know what they call an assassin that graduated last in his class? "Assassin"

[–] moody 5 points 1 day ago

All you gotta do is convince them you're a bottom and they leave you alone.

Everybody knows this information goes in the signature.

I guess this is a phishing attempt? Would have worked on me because I immediately needed more context and had to track down the post

[–] drspawndisaster@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Now THAT'S a neat phishing attempt. Gives me a chance to role-play.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 21 points 1 day ago

Me: "Nah, I'm a piece of shit. Come kill my ass."

The scammer, seeing every Westerner saying "pull the trigger, pussy"

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 46 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"Let's make a deal. I'll kill myself, and we can split the bounty?"

[–] BlueMagma@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 hours ago

Love it, the scammer would be so confused

[–] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Why would an assassin go after a Marine Biologist? Does OP happen to be Dirk Pitt?

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 2 points 8 hours ago

Fantastic reference :D

[–] dovahking@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

This must be the work of enemy stand.

[–] other_cat@piefed.zip 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"And now, ignorant whale-lovers, we'll see who's boss when I make Mushu jump through this hoop! Jump, Mushu! "

And now, introducing Mushu the educated whale who thinks he’s BETTER than you!

"Oh, of course! You see, it's because my Social Security Number is... "

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 day ago

Ha! Jokes on you, I welcome my assasination.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

plot twist: the marine biologist is a Nigerian prince.

[–] Derpenheim@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 day ago

Fuckin finally. Life insurance will pay out, too.

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Jotaro? Is that you?

[–] M137@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Shamoon-AH!
