The dreaded photo requirement is the icing on the cake. And it has to be sent to a Yahoo e-mail address at that! This obviously is a first-rate operation, as well as being delusional. Well, at least the paper took the time to point out that St. Kitts and Nevis isn't part of the U.S.
Good luck to the company and the "successful" applicant. You're both going to need it.
