I sent a message to a lad - Mr S he will be referred to - from my fresh baiting account John C - yesterday at around noon, received a reply at around 5pm and then replied a short while ago.
Dear Mr S, I received your e-mail today with some interest; I would like to know more information so please get back to me at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
John C

It's not worth posting here, as it is simply a copy-pasted format, along with dubious looking 'paperwork' including a deposit certificate with that infamous red seal(!) that lads love - some things never change. Anyway, the final line was:
Your immediate response will be appreciated.
Dear Mr S,
Thank you for your consideration on this matter, and I have to say I may be interested but have some reservations before I can seriously consider your proposition.
I have never met Mr. <redacted> or any of his family, and furthermore I have never had any business dealings in UAE so I am inexperienced and admittedly quite naive about how business works in that part of the world. As you are aware, I am a resident of the United States.
Again, thank you for you considering me but I am somewhat wary due to my inexperience of business in that part of the world.
Sincerely
John C

I intend to straight bait, portraying a naive small businessman from the United States; striking a balance between willing to defer to the lad's experience in his field, but also being wary and prolonging things with questions and the like. I'll just have to see what type of lad he is.
As I've said before, any observations, tips, or suggestions are more than welcomed - I have not baited in years and so am a bit rusty. I'll update the thread as it goes.
