Using some of the same language as earlier posts (Student Research Position and Research Jobs in CS department), the sender leads with the emotion-grabbing term "pressing need" (hits the "hurry" and "they need me" buttons) and includes the name and address of the Office of the Vice President for Research and drops the name of an actual Brown employee, but uses a Gmail address include of a Brown one -- a BIG RED FLAG.
