I recently received this email message:

"Dear Colleague,

I trust you are well!

I am writing to propose a mutually beneficial collaboration. I have many research papers that need citations. If you can cite my papers in your publications, I am prepared to offer a thank-you fee.

The papers, authored by different researchers, cover similar research topics, allowing for multiple citations in a single article.

I am excited about the potential for a long-term partnership and look forward to hearing from you.

Warm regards,(name of sender witheld)
