The email praised the author, their act and stated how the demonstrate would be "honored to feature film you in a dedicated question section on the program."
The email included details about the length of the proposed interview, the format and the benefits of participating in such an interview.
Those benefits, according to the email, included "audience exposure," "extended visibility" and "professional media recognition."
The email then offered the author three different "promotion campaign" packages they could purchase at different prices. Prices included $200 for a basic package, $360 for a standard package and $460 for a premium package.
When the author responded that they weren't interested in any promotional packages but would be happy to do the interview, the impersonator clarified that the interview feature is organized together with the promotional campaign structure.
The impersonator said they "typically proceed with the interview once one of the campaign options is selected."
The impersonator said that once the author let them know which package option works best for them, they would "send over the PayPal details and the official interview form."
It also cautioned people that staff email addresses use the cbc.ca domain and they should check that the email sender follows this format: "firstname.lastname@cbc.ca."
